Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a new Nintendo Switch game that came out a few days ago. And, surprisingly enough, this new major Nintendo Switch game can already run on the PC via the Ryujinx emulator.
YouTube’s ‘John GodGames Emus’ has shared three videos, showing the game running on the PC. In order to run the game, John GodGames Emus used a custom build of Ryujinx.
Now as you will immediately see, emulation is not perfect yet. However, let me remind you that Animal Crossing: New Horizons has just been released on Nintendo Switch. We’re talking about a day-1 release that already runs on the emulator. So yeah, this is an incredible achievement.
Here is hoping that the Ryujinx team will continue its work so that the game reaches a playable state soon. It will also be interesting to see whether the other open-source Nintendo Switch emulator, Yuzu, will be able to run Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Enjoy the videos and stay tuned for more!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
