Animal Crossing: New Horizons — Hourly Music & Soundtrack
Nintendo Switch · 2020 · 72 hourly tracks · 76 other tracks
The island soundtrack most people met Animal Crossing through. New Horizons leans acoustic and airy in the morning, turns bright and percussive over the afternoon, and settles into soft synth pads after dark.
The hourly themes are the heart of the New Horizons soundtrack (OST): every hour of the day has its own track, and the music changes on the hour just as it does in game. Below is the complete 24-track hourly list with durations — press play on any row to hear it right here, or open the radio with New Horizons selected to have it follow your own clock automatically.

How the weather changes the music
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons the hourly theme is re-arranged when it rains or snows — same melody, different instrumentation and mood. You can switch the weather in the radio's settings to hear any hour in any condition, without waiting for the real forecast.
