Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete, the paid version of the mobile game, is available now
The free-to-play version ended last week
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete, the new paid version of Nintendo’s mobile Animal Crossing game, is available now.
Pocket Camp Complete replaces the previous free-to-play version of Pocket Camp, which was shut down on November 29, seven years after it initially launched.
The new version is available now on iOS and Android at an introductory price of $9.99 / £8.99. After January 31, 2025 this will increase to $19.99 / £17.99.
Because it’s now a one-time purchase game, Pocket Camp Complete removes all the other monetisation that was present in Pocket Camp.
This means the Leaf Tickets premium currency and the monthly paid Pocket Camp Club subscription have been removed.
Instead, players can earn Leaf Tokens through in-game play, and can now enable some features that were part of the Pocket Camp Club, such as walking around with a chosen animal.
The ability to play with friends online has also been removed, though now players have Camper Cards which can be traded with other players via QR codes.
Nintendo has added the ability to import Custom Designs from Animal Crossing: New Horizons on Switch. Players can create designs in the Switch game, then enter their Custom Design ID in the mobile game to carry the design over.
New events and items will be added to Pocket Camp Complete until at least September 2025, and events that have previously been held in the free-to-play version will be repeated again in Pocket Camp Complete over a four-year cycle, enabling players to obtain items and animals they may have missed in the past.
A new Complete Item Catalogue feature will also be added, showing every item in the game. Players will be able to earn Complete Tickets, which can be used to obtain these items, even time-sensitive ones that are no longer available or would otherwise require the player to wait for an event.
