What is the Star Limit in ACNH?

▶

The star limit in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) is 20, meaning players can make a maximum of 20 wishes on shooting stars in one night, and receive up to 20 Star Fragments on their island’s beach the next day. This limit applies to both solo players and those visiting other players’ islands, with the opportunity to earn additional Star Fragments based on the wishes made by other players on their island.

Understanding Star Fragments and Shooting Stars

Earning Star Fragments

To earn Star Fragments, players must make wishes on shooting stars, which can be seen in the night sky after 7pm on their island. Each wish made on a shooting star rewards the player with one Star Fragment, up to the daily limit of 20.
