The villagers in Animal Crossing games are popular for their sweet and caring personas. Naturally, watching them performing in a song like Montero astonished fans around the world.

Lil Nas X has a long history with the gaming industry

Lil Nas X leaves no opportunity to promote his music through games. Soon after Montero’s release, he released his own game named Twerk Hero where the players have to test their twerking skills.

The American singer had also performed previously on Roblox. Over 33 million people witnessed his visual concert, which was a much larger audience than Travis Scott’s performance in Fortnite.

It comes as no surprise that Lil Nas X wants GTA Online to host virtual music concerts:

All in all, it was great to see how players could portray the cute Animal Crossing: New Horizons villagers twerking in an environment similar to hell. It is safe to assume that more creators will now follow Lil Nas X’s lead and promote their music with the help of popular games.
