You also have access to more content like the Happy Home Paradise DLC if you purchase the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack! You get to have fun being an interior designer for your villagers, plus you have a ton of new items and reactions!

What Can You Do Online?

One Account for each Switch User

Expansion Pack Pricing Plans

The Animal Crossing: Happy Home Paradise DLC alone costs $24.99 USD while the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack individual membership costs $49.99 USD for a 12 month subscription.

Which Plan is for Me?

An Individual Plan can only be used by a single user of a switch. This is the best option for a Switch owner who doesn't share their Switch!

If you share your Switch with others, or know people who want a membership, then the Family Plan is for you! You can share the membership with up to eight people.

Spliting the cost among equally among eight people would make it around $9.99 USD per user!

Should I Get the DLC or the Expansion Pack?

Keep in mind, players who get the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Happy Home Paradise DLC by itself will be able to play it whenever they want.

While those who pick the Online Expansion Pack can only play it for as long as their subscription lasts. You won't be able to play the DLC if you're not able to renew your subscription once it expires.

But worry not! The save data for the Happy Home Paradise DLC is stored within the console. So, it's definitely possible to continue playing where you stopped after getting a subscription to the expansion pack again or getting DLC itself!
