It was reported last month that Animal Crossing: New Horizons has sold over ten million copies as a digital game since its release.

The end is unlikely to be reached yet, among other things because Nintendo regularly adds new content. This will not only please fans who are already actively playing, but also those who are thinking of buying Animal Crossing: New Horizons for Nintendo Switch. Every month there are currently new updates that make the game more extensive and thus also have a positive effect on the price-performance ratio.
Possibly - but that's just our assessment - sales will pick up again as soon as the Nintendo Switch will be available in stores again in large numbers from summer is. Nintendo recently announced that production would normalize by the summer.
