How to check if your Animal Crossing is updated
Oh, it's super easy to make sure you're not living in the past with your Animal Crossing game! Just boot up your Nintendo Switch, go to the Home screen, and hover over the Animal Crossing game icon. Then, press the '+' or '-' button on your controller to open up the options menu. Look for 'Software Update' and then select 'Via the Internet.' This will force your Switch to check for any updates and if there's one you missed, it'll start downloading it. Voila, you're all set to enjoy the latest fun on your island!

Actually, if you're playing regularly, you're probably already updated. The Switch is pretty good at keeping things current without needing to do much.
Just keep your Switch connected to the internet, and it should auto-update. Honestly, I never manually check for updates. If there's an update, it finds its way to me eventually!
