Animal Crossing: New Horizons - What to do with friends

What to do with friends

In case you're still working through the convoluted systems at the heart of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, check out our walkthrough. Once you're ready and ready to go, you can join in and find that there are no new mechanics added when a new player arrives on your island. Pretty much all you've done is add someone else who can do the same as you. At least they can if you make them a best friend.



Once you've got everything set up and you're together on your own island or theirs, you're pretty much free to explore and do whatever you want. For a single system co-op, you have to stay on the same screen, so what you can do in this situation is much more limited. But with online and local play new players make it so that you can't pick up outdoor items and a few other small limitations.

So what to do with those friends you worked so hard with to find yourself? Not a lot of specific activities, but the answer is really “whatever you want to do”. I love going fishing with my friends, watching them ride big or seeing their reaction when I pull my fifth macheral in a row. Exploring together can also be fun, or help each other collect resources like nuggets of wood and iron.

You can also share items, tools, and resources. One thing I have already set up is a group chat where we share the turnip prices for the day. When someone has a big one we all jump in and sell whatever we bought last Sunday. It's a great way to come together and celebrate our victory in the dreaded Stalk Market. It's also good to go to a Friends Island to sell your native fruits, or allow them to do the same. They sell for three times as much when sold elsewhere, so this is another great way to make a lot of Bells.



Some events will allow interaction with other players, no doubt, but we'll have to wait for those to happen before we know for sure. Until then, the answer for what to do with friends in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is pretty much wide open. This may seem limited to some who expected a defined multiplayer mode, pitting players against each other or directing them to work together on the same task. But that's not how this series works.
