Today marks the 2 year anniversary of Animal Crossing: New Horizons being released, so I figured it'd be fun to see how often people are still playing the game these days, especially since it's been 4 and a half months since the last major update (v2.0) came out.

For me, I'm still playing the game daily. I got the game the same day it was released, and I've managed to play it 730 days in a row and counting since then, having put 1915+ hours into it. I'll keep playing it daily for the foreseeable future, as I am aiming for what amounts to 100% completion of the game, so I've still got a fair amount of things left to get done.
 
Been playing since the game launched. Still playing every day.

I enjoy checking in on my islanders. There are still little funny moments that crack me up. I like finding an unexpected visitor at the Roost sometimes. Even repetitive events are photo opportunities for me because I like taking pictures. I'm using the new camera mode more these days. I'll keep playing as long as I'm having fun. ☺️
 
As I did with nl and ww, I tend to not play for a couple months, then suddenly get back into it and play almost every day for a while, working on my town, before I go back to taking a break.
 
I play a few times a week and if I'm inspired to build something then it'll be most nights for an hour or so.
 
I pretty much never play anymore. There are just so many other games I want to give my time to right now. But it's not goodbye forever. I fully intend on going back eventually. Just not any time in the near future.
 
Holy, almost forgot it's been 2 years since this game released. That was quick :oops:

I voted multiple times a week. It used to be daily but life gets in the way lols. I still do like to make time to play though because I find it relaxing and as much as there is a lot of negativity going on around this game all the time, it's still one of my favourites. But I also play a lot of Pokemon, so gotta find that balance.
 
I voted daily, because right now I'm playing daily, but that's likely to end once I come close to finishing my island. I played daily/a few times a week for up to 4-5 months when it first came out, then took a year hiatus and have only now returned lol. I'm glad a never attempted to finish my island before 2.0 came out as I'd most likely want to redo so much of it with all the new stuff that's been released.
 
I check in every once in awhile. How long that "awhile" is differs greatly from time to time. I can take a two week break from the game and come back to it, or even a several month long break from the game and come back to it. Currently I haven't played since December. I plan on playing again soon, however, and want to play more of the DLC as well as redesign the southwestern portion of my island. I don't know when that will be, however, because I have a ton of other interests taking up my spare time, and my weekdays are more busy now with work.
 
man, i can’t believe its been 2 years already. happy anniversary, new horizons! 🎉

i’ve had the game since release day, but sadly i don’t play as much as i used to. i’ve just been feeling pretty burnt out, i guess? i haven’t played consistently since november, i’m 2 months behind in-game and it’s taking me forever to get caught up. i try to play once a day or at least once every other day or so, but that’s turned into me playing like, once a week these past few months. i’m trying my best to get back into it, though! 😅
 
Once in a while at this point.. I was gonna move in some new villagers but my amiibos never arrived in the mail, so yeahhhh

I still have to finish the DLC, which I'm still excited about since I've purposely been taking it slow!
 
to be honest, i haven't played since Feb 28, 2022
i've basically finished all of the island....

i still haven't finished my other characters houses... *the cafe*, though... but i just can't be bothered...

& i'm playing pokemon sword & shield right now :>
 
I haven't touched it in months unfortunately. My life became hectic around September 2021 when I was accepted onto a postgrad programme and hasn't calmed down yet.
 
I play it as sporadically as I did when it launched. It varies from days, weeks, and even months. Designing is fun and all, but wasn't the main reason I picked this game up. I expected a little more variety, but my gameplay had to focus solely on terraforming/designing to play the game at its fullest potential and that's not really my cup of tea.
 
I play daily, though some days are just a "lick and a promise". I like checking in, even if I don't have the time or energy to do much.

I started my island on the first day and have only missed 2 days of play. I'm still evolving things, so I don't see myself putting it down.
 
I'm at the point where I'll check in every once in a while. I did get a lot done in my town and therefore I'll just keep checking in. Last time I played was when the DLC came out. I've been playing on picking up the DLC to get through the houses needed to add more to town, but that is at a later time.
 
@~Kilza~ That is impressive, well done! I haven't played in a couple of months. I've been playing other games, and getting more into art, so I've spent my free time doing those. I'll come back to it soon because I want to keep playing it. Just haven't gotten around to it.
 
The last time i checked my island was yesterday for less than 2 minutes and then closed the game. Currently not in the mood playing it but i might be more active after i finish college

This is usually how my play times turn out lol. It's like I spend more time having the game load than I do actually playing it. The load times are so horrid haha.
 
A few times a week I check in. Not nearly as often as I used to play. I used to play for hours almost everyday. I'm trying to get motivated to start actually making my island nice and getting it to 5 stars and also finishing HHP though so I might be playing more often soon
