Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been given a new update and fans can now secure the game for almost half price.

In case you missed it, Nintendo released the highly-anticipated 3.0 update for the popular title this week.

A long time in the making, it's the first major refresh since 2021, when cooking, vegetables, storage expansion were introduced.

For those unfamiliar with what's new, the 3.0 update includes a new resort hotel and extended pier, Resetti's reset service, and a Slumber Island feature.

But fans are divided.

"I don’t care much for the Slumber Islands," one shared on Reddit. "The hotel is kinda okay-ish. I do like the fact that Kapp’n gets to be with his family now, as you can see him singing away in the pier (as he wasn't before).

"What I do love about the update though, is Resetti’s flower clean-up, and the fact you can store flowers in the inventory, along with increased storage."

Another added, "For me, it's a rather underwhelming update, like I'm not angry at it, but after browsing some of the new content, I'm not particularly impressed by it."

A third said: "I thought it was really cool! But yeah, I can see why you don't like it. Personally I'm really hyped for the LEGO furniture."

So, how can you access the free update, and how can you get a discount on the game? Find out everything you need to know below.
