Summer 2021 Update Patch Notes For Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Version 1.11)
3 years ago
The latest Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) update for July has just been released with the Summer 2021 Update tonight and we have complete patch notes!
With today’s latest update, the game version number has been upgraded to Version 1.11.0 with the elusive Version 2.0 still nowhere in sight. The Summer 2021 update primarily brings the return of August Fireworks Show events throughout the next month taking place on every Sunday.
This year’s 2021 version of the Fireworks Show event in August will feature some fresh new item prizes at Redd’s Raffle including Cotton Candy and Bubble Tea, but it remains to be seen the full set yet.
Additionally, an updated selection of new seasonal Nook Shopping items have been added in the update as well set to be available over the next month and a half!
Those new Nook Shopping seasonal items include the Cucumber Horse, Eggplant Cow, and more.
Nintendo’s typical mention of bug fixes and adjustments to improve the gameplay experience are mentioned in the patch notes as well, though it remains unclear exactly what else was fixed this time around.

Observed Changes In Version 1.11 Missing From Patch Notes
In our experience, many past new updates for Animal Crossing: New Horizons have tended to contain some smaller changes that weren’t included in the official patch notes.
These undocumented changes in the past have included new items in the Nook Stop Terminal, quality of life improvements, and other small adjustments. If anything of the sort is included in the Summer 2021 Update, we’ll mention it in this section when we know.
Here’s what’s been uncovered so far:
- Oddly, brand new Halloween themed items in the Spooky Set have been introduced in this update, despite no mention from Nintendo! Learn more about the new Halloween 2021 items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons with our article here.
- Unlike most other non-bug fix updates for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it appears that there is no free update gift item to be found in player mailboxes with this update. That follows a similar absence in the July Update.
- It appears to be possible to time travel in advance to the Fireworks Show events with any real-time date lock by Nintendo, unlike some past events like Turkey Day or Festivale.
Please share in the comments below if you spot any interesting small changes or additions that haven’t been mentioned already, so we can update this article as the best resource!
