The yuzu Switch emulator for PC is now able to run Nintendo’s insanely popular Animal Crossing installment, New Horizons.

　　Last week, the yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator received an update that cuts the emulator’s memory usage in half, and today we’re happy to report that the emulator is able to boot and run New Horizons at reasonable performance. Granted, as with many emulators, you will need a higher-end setup to emulate the game on PC and due to the title not working well with Yuzu’s Vulkan renderer, AMD GPU performance isn’t what it should be.

　　We’ve included instructions on how to boot up New Horizons using yuzu down below. We've also included a video (courtesy of John GodGames Emus) of New Horizons running in yuzu. Please note that you will need the latest yuzu Early Access build and Animal Crossing New Horizons patch 1.1.0 and up to be able to boot.

yuzu Instructions for Animal Crossing: New Horizons

　　“We hope you enjoy playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons in yuzu, and please let us know how it works for you”, the yuzu team writes. “Expect there to be minor bugs – but hopefully these do not hinder gameplay too much. We’re working actively on fixing these issues, so expect improvements in the coming days in yuzu Early Access and mainline builds soon thereafter!”
