When Animal Crossing: New Horizons launched on March 20th, 2020, it was a huge success. It sold just under 12 million copies in the first 12 days alone, and by the time it had been out for a full year, it had sold over 32 million copies. You have to wonder whether its popularity was partially due to the international lockdowns happening because of the Covid 19 pandemic, but either way, it's a phenomenal feat. The game is still performing well, with the 2.0 update breathing renewed life into the game.
