Yep, you can have multiple Animal Crossing: New Horizons islands, but it's a bit tricky! Each Nintendo Switch can only have one island per game cartridge or digital download. The workaround? You'll need a separate Switch user account for each game. Each user account can create and manage its own island. So, while you can't have two islands on the same user, you can have multiple users, each with their own island. Just remember, if you're aiming for multiple islands, everyone's gotta share the Switch!

Nope, you can't have two separate Animal Crossing games running on the same Switch, at least not in the way you're probably hoping. Animal Crossing: New Horizons limits you to one island per console, not per user. So, every profile accesses the same island. It's a one-island-per-Switch deal, whether you have the game physically or digitally.

Actually, it's one island per console, folks. But, if you're really into it, you can technically have multiple islands by using more than one Switch. Just a head's up though: this means buying another console and another copy of the game. Sounds like a bank breaker, but if you're an Animal Crossing superfan, it might be worth the investment.
