Animal Crossing New Horizons Happy Home Paradise – How to Preorder & Preload

Fortunately, if you’re looking to get into Happy Home Paradise ASAP once it releases this Friday on Nov. 5. To pre-order, you have a couple of options.

First, if you already purchased the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack (or plan on it), you’ll want to make sure you take advantage of the fact that you already have access to the DLC and just need to preload it now.

Go to the Animal Crossing New Horizons Happy Home Paradise page on the Nintendo eShop and if you have the expansion pack installed it will already be paid up for, and you can simply just choose to download it right away (don’t purchase it again) to get it preloaded onto your system for when it’s fully released on Nov. 5.

If you’re not planning on getting the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack any time soon, then of course you can just purchase it directly from the Nintendo eShop following pretty much the same exact process as above. The only difference this time is that you’ll need to preorder and pay for it first, it’s $24.99, and then after you’ve completed the preorder payment you can go ahead and preload it onto your Switch.
