Animal Crossing: New Horizons' latest update has brought back the ability to turn off the HUD of the camera app while playing the game after the feature's removal earlier this month.
In early July, Nintendo's diving update eliminated a glitch from Animal Crossing: New Horizons that allowed players to turn off the HUD by simultaneously pressing A and + while over the camera app. The glitch was useful in its ability to help some of New Horizons' prospective photographers take pristine and creative pictures, so its brief disappearance angered a group of Animal Crossing: New Horizons players.
With the latest update, Nintendo has officially added the feature back in to Animal Crossing: New Horizons. By clicking the right stick while using the camera app, players can instantly remove the HUD from the screen, allowing them to take photos free of distracting HUD information. The Animal Crossing World Twitter account offered a preview of the feature in action in a post to the platform.
Players have been able to make some interesting creations using the camera app in the past. While one player recreated the "prison Mike" scene from The Office, others have captured their Tiger King adaptations in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, among other things.
This update is coming just before a much broader update set to hit on July 30, which will bringing big changes in and of itself. With the upcoming update, players will be able to design their own fireworks and watch the firework shows in August, every Sunday. Further, players will be able to traverse "dream islands," which are actually islands uploaded from other players.
The biggest and most anticipated addition of all is the ability to make backup saves in New Horizons using cloud saves. Given the outcry from fans upon the announcement that the game would not have cloud saves at launch, this comes as a welcome addition. The game's lack of backup saves had been viewed as archaic, so Nintendo's upcoming update may be one of Animal Crossing: New Horizons' most integral ones.
In any case, Nintendo has routinely been sprucing up Animal Crossing: New Horizons with new additions and patches and will likely continue to do so. As such, fans have yet to see what the game's future still entails.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is currently available on the Nintendo Switch.
