If you’ve been holding off on picking up Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete now is the time to act. The mobile game, which released back in November as the Complete version, is currently available at an introductory price of $9.99, but this deal won’t last forever.

The official Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete X reminded players of the price change, as the introductory price of $9.99 is set to increase to $19.99 after January 31, 2025. With just one day left to grab the game at the discounted rate, fans are being urged to act quickly before the price change kicks in.

Pocket Camp Complete Is Well Worth $9.99

AC Is Diverse And Fun

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp offers a charming slice of the Animal Crossing universe, packed with all the cozy activities that have made the series a fan favorite. The game gives you access to a world of fishing, bug catching, and furniture crafting while interacting with your favorite Animal Crossing characters. The content is diverse and fun, and with frequent updates adding new events and items, there’s always something to look forward to.

At this price, Pocket Camp offers excellent value for those seeking a casual and enjoyable experience. The game doesn’t demand long hours to enjoy, making it a great fit for mobile play. Players can jump in whenever they have a spare moment and still feel like they’re making progress in their virtual campground. Whether you’re a fan of decorating or just like collecting adorable animals, it’s hard to argue against the $9.99 price tag.

Our Take: $19.99 Is A Big Ask

More Content Is Needed In Pocket Camp At Its Higher Price

While $9.99 for Pocket Camp is a fair price for what the game delivers, the price increase to $19.99 is a much harder pill to swallow. That’s a significant jump, especially for a mobile game, although it's worth noting there's no longer any microtransactions in the game. At $19.99, Pocket Camp feels more in line with larger, more content-heavy games, and it's hard to ignore the fact that the price could make some potential players hesitate.

While the game is still packed with the same charming content and characters that make Animal Crossing a beloved franchise, the price increase could make people think twice. At $9.99, Pocket Camp was a no-brainer for fans of the series, but for $19.99, players may start to question whether the price is truly worth it for a mobile game. Especially with the fact that many other mobile games offer robust content at lower or no upfront costs, this price increase may be seen as a bit of a tough sell for casual players. As the clock ticks down to January 31, 2025, the question remains: is Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete worth the high ask? If you’re on the fence, it’s best to act now—before the price hike kicks in.
