The Real Reason Fans Want To Keep This Animal Crossing Glitch

You're going to want to sit down for this one. Fans are crossing their fingers in the hopes that a new "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" glitch sticks around, since it allows them to plop down in places they never have before. Hands down, this is much better than an official sit-down update that led to players getting a cold shoulder from their residents. Previously, players found themselves a bit offended when they'd sit down next to an NPC, only for that character to get up and leave. This new glitch opens up plenty of fun new sitting (and swimming) possibilities.

Pools, ponds, the river, rocking horses, fire pits, and rocket ships are just a few of the many new places where you can now pop a squat in "ANCH." One character even got stuck in a cotton candy machine. According to IGN, "Part of this glitch's popularity is connected to how simple it is to do. It only requires an unfinished puzzle item to clip into whatever you want to glitch."

Twitter user @Wilbos_World shared a video tutorial that breaks down how to perform the glitch in about a minute, with a visual walk-through included. Basically, you have to perfectly arrange the unfinished puzzle piece and the object you hope to sit on near a cliff's edge. Once you're in business, @Wilbos_World's instructions are also helpful for learning how to swim, believe it or not, using your inventory and Nook Phone buttons.
