Animal Crossing patch notes

The latest update confirms to have patched a glitch with item duplication that was recently discovered in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Since the new update, several gamers have demonstrated how the item duplication glitch does not work anymore. The latest patch notes don't go into any more detail beyond that.

A YouTube user, Blaines, also explained that the exploits have been patched and that it wouldn’t work without any hacks. He added the patch includes a fix for the mailbox exploit, the table exploit, and anything else that existed. He also added he believes that there won’t be any clipping out of bounds either. This means that the economy for honest playing people has returned to normal.

Players should note that they will have to update Animal Crossing New Horizons to the latest version 1.2.1 to be able to play online multiplayer with their friends and get access to all the other network features after this new update. One should also be aware that local multiplayer will only work when their friends or other users are on the same version of Animal Crossing as them.

The latest copy of the Animal Crossing should be automatically available for you, meaning the game should be updated once the update is available on your system. However, if for any reason, you haven’t received the new update, you have an option to manually trigger the update by tapping the ‘+’ button on your Animal Crossing New Horizons home screen icon. Next, you need to on ‘Software Update’, and select ‘Via the Internet’ option.

If you wish to continue exploiting the duplication glitches like several others, you may choose to avoid the update for as long as you can. However, this will prevent you from accessing other islands online.
