Can you share an island in Animal Crossing online?
Yep, you can share an island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but there's a catch! Every player who wants to live on the same island needs to play on the same Nintendo Switch console. So, if your friend or family member has their own Switch, they can't join your island there. They'd need to visit your island as a guest through the online multiplayer feature instead. However, you can totally hang out, catch bugs, and do all the fun island stuff together online!

Absolutely! My siblings and I share an island on our family Switch. We each have our own character, and it's super fun to see how our individual contributions change the island over time. Just remember, island sharing only works on the same console. Online, friends can visit, but they can't live there.
Sharing an island? Nah, not really. Everyone needs their own copy of the game and can visit others' islands online, but you can't share an island across multiple Switch consoles. Each console = one island.
