Nintendo has shared a key detail about Animal Crossing: New Horizons and plans for Switch 2, confirming that your island can transfer straight to the new console.

The other option was using the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Island Transfer Tool.
Nintendo has again commented on AI with the latest remarks coming from Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser.

Nintendo Switch 2 will be bringing back friend codes, but they’ll just be one way in which you’ll be able to connect with others.
Those that own the current Nintendo Switch will find that the friends list system will act similarly on the new console. In fact, you’ll be able to transfer it over to Switch 2.
Nintendo has confirmed a couple of things that won’t be included with Switch 2 – specifically system-wide achievements and eShop music.
