Since Animal Crossing New Horizons is a Switch exclusive, anyone who tells you it can be played on mobile phones is misguiding you. Do not follow links claiming you can download this game for your mobile phone from a third-party website. These are potentially malicious software and can infect your device with viruses.

There is, however, a title that Nintendo released back in 2017 for both iOS and Android phones; Animal Crossing Pocket Camps is available for free on the AppStore and Play Store, respectively.


Can you play Animal Crossing New Horizons on PC?

You cannot play this game natively on your PC. Multiple emulators in the market will allow you to play this game on your desktop or laptop. Emulators, however, are a rather tricky affair.

So if you want to emulate it, do so at your own risk. Also, be sure to check the source from where you're downloading the items on your device; they might contain potentially harmful software.


Does Animal Crossing New Horizons feature co-op?

If you haven't already guessed it, the game supports both local and online co-op. However, in order to play with others, you will have to be friends with them. In terms of local co-op, only four players will be able to join a single session.

However, in terms of local co-op, a total of eight players will be able to participate in a single session. What's more interesting is these eight players will be able to set up their houses on your island as well, allowing you to freely interact with them too.

This is a laid-back game and does not feature any combat scenarios. Nor does it require you to solve elaborate puzzles. However, you might have a tough time interacting with some of the villagers on other islands owing to their diverse range of personalities.
