The game does not connect directly with Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, though there will be collaboration items between the two games. New Horizons supports both local and online co-op gameplay, with up to four players locally and eight players online able to occupy an island at any given time. The game only supports one island per Switch system.

Players are additionally able to select their character's skin color, a feature introduced in the 2015 spin-off title Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. The game allows the player to customize the appearance of their character at will, and does not lock specific hairstyles or facial features to specific genders. Similar to the 2017 spin-off title Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, the game introduces a crafting system that allows the player to convert materials into tools and furniture, which can be used to decorate the game's interior and exterior spaces. Players can collect different items to use as decorations within the game.

The player assumes the role of a customizable character who moves to a deserted island after purchasing a vacation package from Tom Nook, a tanuki character who is a staple of the series.
