Initial Release
Previously, Pocket Camp was a free game that could be played on smart devices. Although the game could be played for free, the app had microtransactions that limited access to some features and users had to pay real money to access these features.
However, Animal Crossing was taken offline on November 28, seven years after its initial launch.
The relaunched app gives players access to fresh and old content released over the last seven years. Plus, existing players can move their data to the new app and avoid starting from scratch if they already have a Pocket Camp account saved and connected to their Nintendo Account.
Don’t wait too long to decide if you want to return to your saved game—data transfer is only available until 11 p.m. PT on June 1, 2025. Enjoy the new update, and let’s see if it lives up to the hype, campers! Follow the Stratplays blog for more gaming news.
