Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Update Delivers Newly Added AR Features and a Free Month’s Subscription

For the past three years, the free-to-start Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp game for smart devices has offered instant relaxation and recreation at your very own campsite, all from the palm of your hand. From building furniture and amenities for your campsite to enjoying the “great outdoors” with fishing and bug collecting, we want to thank you for all the personal touches you’ve brought to this cozy camping spot.

As our veteran campers know, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp features familiar faces and fan-favorite characters from the Animal Crossing series. Now the game is bringing some of these characters to life in different ways today with the AR Camera mode and the AR Cabin mode. With AR Camera, you’ll be able to choose a real-world spot and place your favorite Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp pals and furniture within the scene to snap a shot. (First rule of camping: Take only pictures, leave only footprints!)

With AR Cabin, you’ll be able to enter the same space as your animal pals and spend time with them face-to-face! Design a Cabin with furniture and amenities of your choice, then invite up to eight different characters you love to join you. You can overlay the Cabin door anywhere in real life, “enter” the Cabin you created and explore inside your AR Cabin. Now the world of Animal Crossing is crossing (hee hee) into yours!

And that’s not all! Starting today, additional areas in your campsite in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp will become available for you to place furniture and items, so there’s even more room to personalize your campsite and enjoy the great outdoors. To anyone curious about joining our humble camping community for the first time, we want you to feel welcome. The weather’s great this time of year, so pull up a seat next to the in-game fire and enjoy a free month of the Furniture & Fashion Plan*, which is normally priced at $7.99 USD.** If you’re a seasoned Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp pro who’s already been roasting marshmallows (and your fellow campers with lighthearted jokes) and haven’t tried the Furniture & Fashion Plan yet, this special offer extends to you as well.


The Furniture & Fashion Plan is great for collecting lots of clothing and furniture items. One of the perks of this plan is getting to choose and eat five fortune cookies each month out of the cookies on sale so far.* Fortune cookies contain exclusive furniture and clothing. The plan also offers expanded storage for your items, among other benefits, so it’s a great way to dive in and experiment with some of the fun the game has to offer.
