Overview
- Nintendo’s latest update moves New Horizons to Version 3.0.2 and delivers a free Leaf Object to every player’s in-game mailbox.
- The new item, listed in-game as a Leaf Statue, lights up when placed and marks the series’ 25th anniversary.
- The patch fixes gameplay issues on both Switch and Switch 2, including players getting stuck in hotel guest rooms and crafting completing without enough materials.
- Visual quirks are corrected, such as dung beetles hanging on-screen after snowballs vanish, rocks spitting out items before a shovel hit, and visitors spawning in odd spots inside homes, with one rock issue re-fixed after lingering from 3.0.1.
- Happy Home Paradise DLC gets a key fix that restores animals requesting vacation homes to the beach, and Nintendo supports the anniversary with new artwork, an in-game display of the original Japanese box art, and the GameCube soundtrack on the Nintendo Music app.
