Even a game as mechanically robust and polished asAnimal Crossing: New Horizonscan never be bug-free, as shown by a strange occurrence that two players recently experienced while playing multiplayer. A recent uptick in players means a higher chance these issues will be discovered, but so far none seem to be very serious.
The recent 2.0 Update forAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsis bringing many players back into the game, freshening the experience with a massive amount of new content as well as returning features from previous games. It released earlier than its projected date of November 5, surprising many players, though the latest bug in the game is just as shocking.

An odd occurrence showcased by anAnimal Crossingsubreddit member, Enbion, appears to demonstrate an issue with how the game’s collision system works. Enbion was showing off one of thecollectible Gyroids added in the update, and the other player stepped closer before suddenly being lifted into the air. Adjusting the camera angle revealed that the player had managed to get stuck on the transparent ceiling of the room.
WhileAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsbugs are generally more uncommonthan not, difficult to explain issues such as the one demonstrated by Enbion can arise. The most likely explanation may be that walking into another player near the plant item causes a strange collision interaction, though this cannot be confirmed without further testing. Regardless of its cause, the sudden motion combined with the subtle sound is unexpected; the result appears as if the player is standing on an invisible floor.
In any case, the issue seems to be isolated, so the average player should not have to worry about suddenly flying into the air. The 2.0 Update’s large amount of additions and upcoming paid DLC should keepAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsplayers busy for a while yet. Attentive players will even noticehidden details in some of the newAnimal Crossingitems, and the DLC will make even more significant additions to the gameplay.
With the wealth ofcontent added toAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, players can expect to find strange quirks with the game’s items, as no bug testing can be 100% foolproof. Though the same cannot be said for the messy launch of Nintendo’s new Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, which has many players up in arms over its lack of polish, hopefully futureAnimal Crossingcontent will avoid a similar fate.
