Animal Crossing: New Horizons has maintained its reputation as one of the Nintendo Switch’s defining life simulation experiences, boasting worldwide popularity since its release in March 2020.
Developed by Nintendo, the game allows players to craft their own idyllic island life, gathering materials, collecting bugs, and building a thriving community.
With the recent launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, renewed attention has been cast on how players can make the most of their island adventure—including optimizing their inventory space for better resource management. Inventory management is crucial in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
As players collect a variety of items—from crafting materials to insects and fruit—many quickly find their pockets filling up faster than they can spend or store items.
To tackle this, Nintendo implemented a progression system that lets players expand their inventory slots using in-game currency known as Nook Miles. To get started, players must first accrue Nook Miles by completing various activities around their island.
After upgrading from a tent to a house, the Nook Miles+ program becomes available.
At this point, players can visit the Nook Stop terminal located inside Resident Services.
Through this multimedia kiosk, they can spend 5,000 Nook Miles to unlock the "Pocket Organization Guide.” According to the in-game description, this purchase provides "information on pocket organization so you can carry more items." Effectively, the guide immediately increases inventory space from 20 to 30 slots, allowing for smoother item collection and less frequent trips to storage. As the game progresses and Resident Services is further upgraded from a tent to a fully-fledged building, players unlock additional options.
At this advanced stage, the “Ultimate Pocket Stuffing” guide becomes available for redemption at a cost of 8,000 Nook Miles.
This upgrade grants a second boost to inventory size, expanding pocket capacity from 30 to a total of 40 slots—the current maximum available in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
This enhancement is indispensable for players dedicated to larger projects or those who wish to maximize efficiency in their day-to-day island activities. Animal Crossing: New Horizons continues to be a cornerstone title on the Nintendo Switch, available exclusively through physical and digital formats on the Nintendo eShop.
The addition of the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition reaffirms Nintendo’s commitment to evolving and supporting its popular titles.
For both new and returning island residents, maximizing inventory space ensures a more seamless and enjoyable experience, making every island task a little easier and every day on the island a little brighter.
