If your Animal Crossing: New Horizons island has been devoid of balloons, you’re not alone, a swift new patch is here to aid you in update 1.1.3.
It might seem odd to see Animal Crossing: New Horizon update 1.1.3 so soon. After all, we literally just put up 1.1.2 patch notes yesterday. However, it turns out Animal Crossing: New Horizons had run into a heck of a problem and it one that had a big effect on the current Bunny Day event. If you’ve been having issues with balloons not showing up on your island anymore, Animal Crossing: New Horizons update 1.1.3 patch notes are here to help.
The Animal Crossing: New Horizons update 1.1.3 patch notes are short, but sweet. Nintendo dropped update 1.1.3 and its notes on April 3, 2020, just a day after update 1.1.2 came out. That said, 1.1.3 addresses a very specific problem that is quite important for a lot of people: Balloons. Players were finding that after popping so many balloons on their island (around 300 apparently), balloons were no longer showing up.
This is a pretty big matter during the ongoing Bunny Day event where balloons (and their attached presents) figure into getting your hands on specific event-related eggs and the prizes that come with them. Nintendo took notice, and update 1.1.3 is all about this balloon bug.

General
- Fixed a bug where balloons would not fly under certain conditions.
That’s it. That’s all there is to this particular patch. That said, if you’re playing co-op with friends who have updated, make sure you’re updated too. New updates in Animal Crossing: New Horizons don’t communicate with old updates, meaning Animal Crossing: New Horizons update 1.1.2 won’t be able to play together with the new update 1.1.3, as close as the updates are.
