The latest update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons went live recently and addressed various issues large and small, perhaps most notably fixing a glitch that left your animal residents wantering around in the nuddy.
Certain players have noticed another minor tweak to the game following the release of version 2.0.4, though — it seems that it's now possible to find gyroid fragments washed up on your shoreline.
As noted by Animal Crossing World and various people on social media, gyroid fragments are being found on players' beaches after downloading this update:

Previously, gyroid fragments were only found buried on Kapp'n's Boat Tour islands, or by digging them up on your own island the day after it rained. With this new method of finding a fragment, you'll be able to complete your rockin' gyroid collection that little bit sooner.
Let us know below if you've found a 'roid round your waterline.

Well, they do look washed up so cool, I guess?
I've been getting these and I like it.
Nintendo really has given in to the crowd who can't wait for anything, haven't they.
I guess that's nice? But they were handing out tons of gyroids already!
So they ARE adding new features after the 2.0 update then
The only change I had noticed is that they fixed Reece/Cyrus’s wipe animation.
@Clyde_Radcliffe They never said they wouldn't. They said they wouldn't have any more major updates. This is a small thing.
That's a nice thing to do, considering it otherwise costs 1000 Nook Miles per day to get a single fragment.
Kapp'n's island tours are nice but you can exhaust their variety fairly quickly, before the main benefits become mostly the recipe card and gyroid fragment chances.
@RupeeClock,
Yes those island trips are a bit pricey considering Nook miles are quite a grind to get, even more so when you are a 1000 hours plus into the game, a nice little update.
Were these fragments washed up on my shore? If yes, the got wet... why did they not grow already?
This sounds like an update made specifically for me, due to me covering almost all of my island in custom patterns. But my island is literally Disneyland, so it's excusable.
I love Gyroids but after getting 50 of them and finally noticing they can be customized I kind of have enough at this point.
@Hck New Horizons is effectively the game in the series that caters towards people with very low attention spans.
Nice! I have to tell the kiddos to watch their beaches. And also to dig up holes on their islands! Maybe it's because of the frequent snow showers, but I dug up 3 gyroids yesterday. My first ever excavations that weren't on Kapp'n islands! I just never bothered to dig around my island much till now, since I completed all the fossils long ago.
@johnvboy You get 350 miles free at the ABD every day and 2 or 3 more tasks will easily get you to 1000. I've gotten every Gyroid plus damn near 60 extras (yes I TT a lot) and I still have more miles than when I started the update just from doing little goals here and there.
@SpaceboyScreams,
Well done, my point is it's far easier to gain Nookmiles at the beginning of the game, as you have no completed any of the tasks, but good work sticking with it.
I love animal crossing, it is such a great game.
not the only thing the update also added sand under the palm trees on the grass on Kapp'n's Boat Tour islands before the update there was no sand under them
You can also skip Kapp'n his singing after a short while now after the update. Very welcome change.
@Koldur you could always do that when 2.0 first came out
@JessieAC I tried it all the time, never worked, was also stated that you couldn't. It only started to work since the last update.
@Koldur yea that was a thing since 2.0 released all you had to do was keep pressing B and Kapp'n would stop singing this was already known
