Animal Crossing: New Horizons has arguably become the most popular title in the Animal Crossing series. Furthermore, it has generated an enormous amount of profit since its release. As of March 21, 2022, Nintendo has itself reported that New Horizons has sold over 38.64 million units and consolidated as the second highest-selling title after Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Nintendo has designed New Horizons in such a way that players can relate it to their regular life. Moreover, developers also migrate the in-game critters on a monthly basis. In just a few days, June will arrive and users will encounter new critters and seasonal changes on their island.
