The original Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp took the gaming world by storm when it was first released in 2017. Now, seven years later, a brand-new version titled Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete brings together everything players loved about the original — and more. This updated one-time purchase version eliminates the need for in-game microtransactions while offering a treasure trove of content collected over the past seven years of updates, events, and seasonal items.
A Fresh Yet Familiar Experience
At its core, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete retains the heartwarming gameplay that made the original such a fan favorite. You step into the role of a campsite manager, responsible for building and maintaining a fun and welcoming space for yourself and your animal friends. The goal is simple: create your dream campsite while enjoying the calm and charm of everyday life in nature.
While managing your camp, you can:
- Fish in tranquil waters
- Catch colorful bugs
- Chat with animal villagers
- Collect and craft furniture and decorations
It’s the perfect balance of creativity, relaxation, and social interaction — all wrapped up in the cozy aesthetic that Animal Crossing is famous for.
You can also personalize your experience by changing your outfit, exploring nearby areas, and taking spontaneous detours to enjoy your surroundings. It’s a relaxing slice-of-life adventure where every day can bring something new.
Decorate Your Campsite Your Way
One of the most enjoyable parts of Pocket Camp Complete is decorating your campsite. With over 10,000 items available, you can let your imagination run wild. From tents, hammocks, and swings to lazy rivers, food stalls, and even merry-go-rounds — the customization options are nearly endless.
You can mix and match themes, design cozy corners for your favorite villagers, or build an extravagant camp that feels like a festival ground. Whether you prefer rustic charm or whimsical wonder, your campsite can truly reflect your personality.
Meet the Animal Friends
No Animal Crossing game is complete without its adorable and quirky cast of animals. Each one has a unique personality and story to share. Some are shy, others are energetic, and all are eager to visit your campsite to see what you’ve built.
As a manager, you can also choose a special animal pal to act as your camp’s caretaker. This friend will help you with various tasks and join you on walks around the forest. Together, you’ll gather inspiration for new designs, build friendships, and experience the warmth of companionship that makes Animal Crossing so special.
Enjoy Seasonal Events All Year Long
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete keeps things fresh with a constant rotation of seasonal events. Every month, you can look forward to new challenges and limited-edition items through events like:
- Garden Events
- Fishing Tourneys
- Holiday Celebrations
Special holidays are also part of the fun — from Halloween and Toy Day to Bunny Day and the Summer Festival. These events bring themed decorations, festive music, and exclusive items that make your campsite even more lively and colorful.
Continue Your Journey with Save Data Transfer
For long-time fans, Nintendo has made it easy to carry over your progress. If you played the original Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, you can transfer your save data and continue your adventure without losing your hard-earned items or progress.
Note: Save data transfer will be available until June 2, 2025.
What’s New in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete
While the base gameplay remains true to the original, the Complete version introduces several exciting new features and improvements designed to make your experience even richer.
Camper Cards
A fun way to express yourself and connect with other players!
You can now create a Camper Card, a personalized introduction card that shows off your in-game identity. Choose your favorite color, pick a pose, and share it with others.
You can also scan Camper Cards from other players to start collecting them or trade them with friends. It’s a great way to discover new campers and build a social community within the game.
Gatherings at the Whistle Pass
This all-new location adds a lively social space to the Pocket Camp world. Whistle Pass is a scenic area where players can meet and interact with other campers whose Camper Cards they’ve collected.
You can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with live music performances — including nightly guitar shows by the beloved Animal Crossing musician K.K. Slider. It’s the perfect place to hang out, share inspiration, and enjoy the community spirit.
Complete Tickets
With the new Complete Ticket system, players can earn special tickets by participating in events. These tickets can be exchanged for:
Limited-edition items you might have missed in past events
Fortune cookies of your choice (which contain random themed items)
This system ensures that even if you missed some older events, you’ll still have a chance to collect the items you love.
Enjoy Custom Designs
For creative players, Pocket Camp Complete now supports Custom Designs imported from Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Nintendo Switch). You can scan QR codes or design IDs from New Horizons to wear those designs or decorate your camp with them.
However, note that while you can download and use designs, you cannot create new ones directly within Pocket Camp Complete. This feature bridges the two games beautifully, allowing fans to bring their favorite outfits and patterns from console to mobile.
A Complete Experience for Every Camper
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete isn’t just an update — it’s a celebration of everything players have loved about the series over the years. With its relaxing gameplay, creative freedom, lovable characters, and now a wealth of new features and content, it offers the definitive Pocket Camp experience in one convenient package.
