Last month, we informed you about Animal Crossing: New Horizons running on the PC via the Ryujinx Nintendo Switch emulator. However, we know that some of you prefer the other Nintendo Switch emulator, Yuzu. So, we are happy to report today that this latest Animal Crossing game is also playable on it.
Here is how you can patch Yuzu in order to run Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the PC.
- Update to the latest yuzu Early Access build.
- Install any update to Animal Crossing. At this time, the base game does not boot. However, any subsequent update (e.g. Animal Crossing v1.1.0 through v1.1.4) will work. If you need help installing the update, see these instructions.
- Add this patch (attached to this post) to Animal Crossing’s “mod” folder in yuzu. This is currently necessary to get past an initial crash on boot. Add this mod by right-clicking Animal Crossing in your game list, clicking “Open Mod Data Location”, next simply extract the patch into this directory, formatting is as shown in the example below:
- That’s all! Animal Crossing should boot and be playable! If you experience any crashes, we highly recommend that you turn OFF real-time audio. This can be changed by going to Emulation ? Configure ? Audio, and unchecking “Enable real-time audio”. We also highly recommend that you use the OpenGL renderer at this time.
Now as always. there might be some bugs and glitches that the team has not resolved. From what we know so far, the game is most likely fully playable – from start to finish – on Ryujinx. Thus, and if you encounter any bugs preventing you progress, we suggest switching emulators.
Have fun everyone!

Now waiting for the fix of SJW BS.
That’d be a patch for ur defective brain.
whats SJW about it?
Nothing, he’s just one of those delirious people.
If it were made by Ubisoft or something I’d expect it but not so much Japanese devs
Several things. It lets men wear female clothing and makeup. Dykes are present in the game. You cannot select a gender.
Is it really worth it without the online component? Kind of makes me think of Mario Maker without being able to download levels.
This game is boring no matter what you play it on.
