Want to double the fun with friends on Animal Crossing? Here is how you can do it and add your friends over there. So, let’s get started and play Animal Crossing with the people we love.
Can we add friends on Animal Crossing?
You can. And this is what makes the game way more fun. First, you need to add people as friends on your Nintendo Switch console using their friend code. Once you’re friends with them out there, you can invite them to your island or visit theirs by simply going to the airport and talking to Orville. This is pretty much most of it. And after you have played together at least once, you will show up in each other’s Best Friends List app on the NookPhone. And this one is important. You should know that if you upgrade someone to best friend status, they can even use tools like shovels and axes on your island. So, make sure you trust people before you do so.
Steps to add friends on Animal Crossing
If you want to add friends on Animal Crossing, then these are the steps that you need to follow.
- You can start by heading to your Nintendo Switch home screen and then clicking on your user icon.
- Jump to the Add Friend tab and select Search with Friend Code to enter your friend’s unique ID. This is different for everyone, so make sure you enter it right. Once they accept your request, you can launch Animal Crossing: New Horizons and go straight to the airport.
- Here, talk to Orville at the desk and tell him you want to receive visitors via online play.
- This will bring you the choice to open your gates to all your friends so they can find your island on their list. But if you are the one traveling, tell Orville you want to fly and search for a friend’s island. It works both ways.
- After you have successfully walked around together on an island, open your NookPhone and check the Best Friends List app. Here, you will see a list of people you have recently played with. This is the place from where you can send them a Best Friend request.
- The rest is up to them. If they accept, you will be able to see when they are online and play together. Remember that being best friends also unlocks the ability to use shovels and axes on each other’s property, so be wise.
Another perk is that you can also send gifts through the mail at the airport. This only requires you to have visited them just once. Not that difficult, right?
