Animal Crossing: New Horizons is an open-ended life simulator with no true ending — the closest milestone is reaching a 3-star island rating and the K.K. Slider concert that rolls the credits, which HowLongToBeat pegs at roughly 60.5 hours on average, with completionists (museum, catalog, everything) averaging about 363 hours. In practice most players continue playing indefinitely, day by day. The Switch 2 Edition is the same underlying game as the 2020 release plus the free Ver. 3.0 content, so these community-average playtimes for the base game apply.
