An Animal Crossing: New Horizons player online has shared their grandma's impressive achievement of reaching an absurd Nook Miles milestone in the game. Collecting Nook Miles in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the perfect way to give a strong purpose to the late-game for many players.
Nook Miles in Animal Crossing: New Horizons are a form of currency earned by completing different activities on the island, that can then be redeemed for many different items and rewards that help players build up their island. In the past, one player even managed to reach the maximum number of Nook Miles in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which is more than anyone could ever spend in the game. They can take plenty of time to accumulate, and this gamer grandma has done an incredible job racking them up in their playthrough.
Redditor markusdied shared their grandma's impressive achievement of hitting 1,000,000 Nook Miles total. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is considered one of those games that people can put hundreds of hours into without a second thought, and it's clear here that this gamer has invested plenty of time into their game. According to the Redditor, their grandma is even complaining about the amount they've accumulated, as there's simply nothing to do with it all.
The user tried to downplay the achievement as "probably not that crazy," but other players in the thread disagreed. Plenty agreed that going beyond 100,000 could prove to be a struggle in the game, so there's no doubt that reaching 1,000,000 is an achievement to be celebrated. It's really great to see older individuals getting invested in gaming. It goes to show that it's not just for kids, and can be the perfect hobby for just about anyone nowadays. Gaming is no longer one genre – it's many things to many different people. One gamer grandma hit a ridiculously high level in Wordscapes. It might be a mobile game, but it's still a video game, and that makes her as much a gamer as anyone else.
It will be interesting to see where the Animal Crossing franchise goes from here. With the enormous success of New Horizons, a sequel to the long-running series seems to be a certainty, although nothing has been discussed publicly by Nintendo. The current game hasn't received any content since late-2021, so fans will be hoping that development in the meantime has moved toward focusing on a potential sequel.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is currently available on Nintendo Switch.
