The time has finally come for the Animal Crossing community to catch up with Audrey, the now 89-year-old grandma who rose to fame after clocking in a whopping 3,500+ hour playtime on Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Since then, she's been treated to her very own copy of New Horizons on Switch - and might have even been the inspiration behind one of the game's new villagers.
Now, she's back with a much-requested island tour video. Fans have been hoping to see how Audrey (or Audie, as she's called in-game) has been getting on with the new title, how her new island has been coming along, and perhaps most importantly, which villagers have moved in alongside her.
She reveals that New Horizons has mostly taken over in terms of her Animal Crossing playtime and that she spends around three hours every day playing the new game. New Leaf still holds a special place in her heart, though, and she likes the two games 'about the same'.
Make sure to give Audrey's tour video a watch and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

This is great
I hope she becomes a twitch player and makes a tidy sum!
I wanna know how many hours have she accumulated so far. 😗
Right now, i have accumulated more than 350 hours in 51 days in a row since i bought the game on 27 June 2020.
I played ACNH with duration around 5 - 6 hours in a day, more than 10 hours during weekend.
Grandma Audrey, i challenge you with my gameplay hours! 😁
I will surpass her gameplay hours someday.
And then i will be famous. Mwahahaha...! 😆😆😆
Note: Can someone tell me what is her FC ?
Just fills your heart up, don't it? 🥰
This is really awesome! I hope she can play to at least when she is 100+ years old.
She's got some great villagers!
I want her dream code!
So I guess in theory, the more years that go by, the more "older/retired people" there will be that are playing videogames. So we should expect more of this content going forward!
One day I'll have time to get through my backlog. One day!
Retirement goals.
@Clyde_Radcliffe It's at the end of the video @ 34:34.
DA-3280-5622-8262, in case anyone else is too lazy to check also.
She is so adorable! God I love her so much. Hope she lives long.
I was worried she passed away at first glance.
89 year old grandma has a better Island than me LUL
@Anti-Matter I did the math, she played for 414 hours. They say she played for about 3 hours everyday since April 1, so I added all the days after that, than multiplied that by 3!
@LatsaSpege
Looks like i can surpasss her gameplay hours after 3 weeks later. 😁
I seriously hope I'm still gaming at that age. Props to this lady. She's dedicated!
So awesome. With older people I notice they lose that need to “perform” for others or cameras. They just be themselves. It’s cool.
I hope I’m still able to workout at her age, let alone game.
This was on my YT home page yesterday! Three hours a day... that’s a lot!
@Anti-Matter I don’t know if she shares her FC, but her DA is DA-3280-5622-8262. You play a lot longer than me!!! I probably play SMM2 that long everyday though. I’ve accumulated 195 hours since May 30, so not quite, but almost!
Think I’ll give this a miss. The video during which she was given her Switch was very long and rather boring.
The Nintendo community is so decent and sweet, this is the one multiplayer community I would enjoy.
I wonder if she plays both games now or if she has completely migrated to New Horizons and fully disconnected from New Leaf?? 🤔
"Are you excited to share your island?"
"I guess..."
Haha, old people are so great. They clearly don't give a damn and don't even bother to hide it at their age.
@jump I really hope that happens, but it'll never work out, salty gamers and idiots would start complaining about how to "correctly" play the game and some might verbally harass her, just like they did with Skyrim Grandma Shirley Curry
@RadGravity You really don't know what wholesomeness feels like, do you?
@Jacob1092 Love your pfp
Honestly: I sometimes wonder if I am the oldest person on this site. At 53 years old, I feel like an ancient gamer. But I love gaming and I (mostly) like the community at this site.
This lady gives me hope that I will still be playing 30 years from now.
@batata It is life
@batata not sure how you’re drawing that conclusion, but okay.
Well she has no life so no wonder she can play a game for 3500 hundred hours plus, I saw her articles from 2 years ago, i thought she finally died this time, but nope same old mess
I got my mom (69) addicted to New Horizons when I let her try it on my Switch in April. She’s retired and Dad and I are at work 9 hours a day, so it gives her something to do. It’s also been therapeutic for her since she’s dealing with isolation, cancer (just diagnosed this month), loss of a cat we had for 20 years, and loss of a sisters-in-law.
No burnout? She's good. And I would like to believe she inspired the new character, but I doubt it.
@dugan probably dude. Probably. Haven't met anyone else over the age of 40 on here.
@geni53yr7 ah, your this person. Good luck in life, I guess, and maybe stop being such a *****
