Island Backup & Restoration

Animal Crossing New Horizons’ Summer Update Wave 2
One of the most sought-after features for Animal Crossing: New Horizons ever since its March release was the ability to backup your island and restore it to another Nintendo Switch.
Thankfully, this update finally adds the feature in, though it’s worth pointing out you’ll need to have a Nintendo Online subscription if you’re wanting to make use of it.
The exact specifics on how this will work remain to be seen. Players may have to contact Nintendo Customer Support in order to restore their island to a new Nintendo Switch, and the wording suggests it may not always be possible to recover your island, but all will become clear when the update goes live tomorrow.
