Animal Crossing: New Horizons Fans Lose More Hope on the Game Despite Scheduled Server Maintenance

Maintenance is an integral part of running anything smoothly, even video games. The developers have to shut down the servers to players for the game’s maintenance as there is always someone active on the game servers. Usually, developers use these breaks to introduce new updates and fixes to the game.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons will go under a server maintenance

Now many new Animal Crossing players might wonder if they would be able to play the game or not. Fortunately, they can still play New Horizons during the maintenance, but they won’t have access to online features like sharing gifts with friends or visiting other players’ islands.
