if you've been waiting for a feature-complete version of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp for mobile, then you're in luck, because Nintendo has finally answered your prayers with a paid version of the popular mobile game.
Available now for a discounted price of $9.99 / £8.99, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete removes all monetisation that was present in the previous version of the game, allowing you to unlock everything via in-game progression. After 31st January 2025, the price of the game will double to $19.99 / £17.99, so don't faff around if you're itching to download it.
Nintendo announced it would be ending service for Pocket Camp back in October, following through with its promise last week on 28th November 2024. Returning players who opt to purchase the new Complete edition have the option to bring their existing character and progress across, but the option to start from scratch is also available, should you desire.
The premium 'Leaf Tickets' currency have been removed from the game alongside the monthly paid subscription service 'Pocket Camp Club'. Leaf Tokens can now be earned in-game, and some features previously exclusive to Pocket Camp Club can now be activated as standard.
Events and new items will continue to be available in Pocket Camp Complete until at least September 2025.
Will you be opting for the paid version of Pocket Camp now that service has ended for the existing app? Let us know with a comment in the usual place.

Very excited to see how this goes! Jumped in last night and played for a few hours, it’s a ton of fun!
Thanks for telling us, getting it right now!
So, is this similar to the Switch game, then? My daughter loves Animal Crossing and having a version i could pull up on the phone might have its uses.
If Google finally lets me make purchases (for whatever reason doesn't let me add funds) this will be my first. Then, Super Mario Run will probably be my last.
I bought it for the sake of preservation, though I haven't touched the game since it first released.
So far this is fun! It truly is a “complete” version of pocket camp. It’s nice to be able to play pocket camp without all the in-app purchases and whatnot.
@Divide_and_Wander Not quite. It would be familiar in that there are villagers that come and go but the structure is different.
Even though I am not going to purchase it, I am glad they decided to keep it available and not just drop it. I hope lots of mobile games will follow this example. It is a win for everyone.
Wait, the title screen wallpaper is horizontal.
Looked like official console version.
Please port Animal Crossing Pocket Camp to Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 with all contents.
Glad we got it earlier than what they were saying. So glad to back to the campsite!
I miss my dragon wife, Ollie
I miss her a lot.
I admit I hadn't booted the original app in some time (especially since New Horizons released), but I'm all for app preservation, so I supported this. Now that my wife has more or less taken over my New Horizons island, I'll return to the RV life 😉
Great!! Although..., I would have liked games like Dragalia Lost and Dr. Mario for example to have had that treatment..., I miss them...
I am going to miss earning platinum coins thanks to the original Pocket Camp.
I only got Pocket Camp to unlock the special items in New Horizons, then I stopped because I'm not a fan of the whole subscription to play service, not even for MMOs... but I may try this out properly now. Still undecided. If there is some reason why I should get it, what would it be?
@HammerGalladeBro it was doing the same to me. For some reason it was my bank account that was stopping the payments from going through. Even though I never told them to withhold payments. In the end I added PayPal and that allowed me to make payments. Try that.
purchased!
As someone who won't play freemium games with battle passes or whatever nonsense, I am happy to finally play it
@Divide_and_Wander It's pretty different. The mail appeal of Pocket Camp is decorating your campsite and watching the animals interact, which is much better than New Horizons where the animals barely interact with what you place on your island. But there's no terraforming in Pocket Camp and the gameplay is much simpler, and it just cycles through the same 3 events every month (garden, fishing tourney, and gyroidite scavenger hunt) so it gets very repetitive.
In any case, I highly recommend it at the discounted price of $10. Even the regular price is very reasonable for the amount of content that's built up over the years.
Can anyone confirm whether or not you still earn the platinum coins with this? That’s the only reason I was still playing Pocket Camp.
Are we able to continue earning Platinum coins through this Animal Crossing app?
I dropped it pretty quick after it came out originally and I don't really remember how it plays. I'll check out a gameplay video and decide if I want to buy this full one.
I might get this while it's discounted though I don't expect to play it much....
@TheBigK @FlyingDunsparce There is a lot more to the game now than when it was first released. I think anyone who enjoys Animal Crossing will easily get their $10 worth.
Although I was excited when I saw that the save data is only on the phone and if you delete the app or lose the phone etc you lose all the data you had even the purchases you made when ot was free to play.
There is an option to move data to another phone but they store it just for 7 days.
Too bad for a paid game.
I will get it before my flight back home.
@Porky I was able to confirm via a Nintendo FAQ that platinum coins are no longer available with this new version.
@john_lennon999 7 days should be plenty of time for most people, but it would have been nice to have it stored for as long as it was able to be played.
@LinktotheFuture yes if you want to transfer your data. But if you want to be safe in case your phone is lost or broken etc you will have to do it every 7 days to have a backup!
@john_lennon999 That is weird, I wonder why they did it that way?
@Dom_31 You and me both.
I hope they do a remaster of it for the Switch or the next console, but a mobile complete version would work too.
Anyone know if this needs a one off online activation or download if you start a fresh with no transferred save?
@LavaTwilight Thanks for the tip, I'll try it before the year ends.
@mrjelly
It will download ~2,5 GB of data after some introduction.
