How to Download the 2.0 Update in Animal Crossing
First off, make sure your Nintendo Switch is connected to the internet. Then, head to the Home Screen and hover over the Animal Crossing icon. Press the '+' button on your controller, and a menu will pop up. Go to 'Software Update' and select 'Via the Internet.' Your game should start updating to the latest 2.0 version as long as it's released and available. Kick back and dream about the new features until the download finishes!

Honestly, just keep your Switch connected and it'll sort itself out. I never manually update anything.
Just turn on your Switch, and if it's online, the update should prompt automatically when you try to play Animal Crossing. If not, do the manual check with the '+' button method. Works every time!
The update not popping up? Make sure your game is actually closed. Sometimes the Switch keeps it running in the background. Close it completely, then try updating again!
