How to play in local co-op with friends
Let's start with the easiest way to play multiplayer in Animal Crossing: New Horizons: Local Couch Co-op. Up to four players can get together on the same Switch, run around town, collect items, fish, and just have fun. Managing it is as easy as pulling up your NookPhone and selecting the Call Islander app. Any other account on your Switch that has a home in your city will then appear as an option to integrate into your current session.
There is no split screen here, so you need to stay on the same screen at all times. The leader is the one who made the call, but you can change the leader by having their controller shake by the other person and pressing A. The leader is also the one who can make purchases or interact with things, okay. that once you make him a best friend he get more privileges. If they have items on them when they go offline, they will appear in the recycle bin inside Resident Services. Now let's take a look at how to play multiplayer with people who aren't sitting right next to you.
How to play online or local wireless multiplayer co-op
If you want to bring friends to your island from another switch, local wireless or online, you need to head to Dodo Airlines. The location is different for each island, but it will always be along the coast. This is where you were first brought to the island, and it is the center of connection with other islands whether you are leaving or bringing someone home. Talk to Wilbur at the office to get started.
Up to eight players can meet on the same island, and you just need to invite them. You can do this with a Dodo code, which you can share through any other means of communication, then have them enter their corresponding Dodo Airlines location, or specifically invite them if you've added them as a friend on Nintendo Switch Online. Reverse all of that if you want to visit their islands as well.
And that's how to play co-op multiplayer with friends in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
