Ahead of its launch this Friday, Nintendo is already distributing the first update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. If you’ve pre-loaded the game, you should be able to access version 1.1.0. We now have details as to what it actually includes.

First, be sure to download the update if you want to access the upcoming Bunny Day event. This will take place between April 1 and April 12. You’ll not only need to connect to the internet to access the Bunny Day celebration, but you’ll also need to be sure that you’ve linked to a Nintendo Account once the start of April comes around. Keep in mind that Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be updated to version 1.1.0a, which actually activates the event.
