Animal Crossing: New Horizons
is unofficially available for PC players through the new Ryujinx emulator, the open open source Nintendo Switch emulator is written in C# for Windows, Linux and OSX. The development team at Ryujinx says they have been working hard for enabling PC owners to play the new game, they have managed to release a Preview Build that supports Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The build can run both version 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 of the game.
Ryujinx Emulator is currently available for free, but they might face legal prosecution from Nintendo, who would not be very happy about piracy surrounding one of their biggest release for 2020.
We are still working on resolving a few minor bugs and making sure everything is stable. Everything will be available on our website and GitHub once the changes are finished and properly tested.
From what’s being reported by users and the development team, the game is playable, with some minor bugs. A large bug might prevent some players to run the game, but there is a quick fix, using a save file will skip the bug.
The team at Ryujinx, is currently working on solving the crashing bug but for the moment has told users to install a save file to keep playing the game.
How to install a save file?
Certainly, I don’t encourage people to support piracy, developers should be given the credit they deserve, and buying the game is the right way to express the gratitude to the team who worked for releasing such a special game.
