  • Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition gets an update, fixing over 20 bugs, including crashing and display issues.
  • The Definitive Edition release on the Switch opens up the game to a larger audience, making it available alongside other Xenoblade Chronicles games.
  • Fans speculate about potential performance boosts and a 60 fps mode for Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch 2.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that the latest update for my beloved game, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, is now live! The patch notes unveil the changes we can expect. This fresh update primarily concentrates on squashing bugs and enhancing overall gameplay quality, ensuring a more robust and delightful gaming journey for us players.

Even though many Nintendo enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the Switch 2, Nintendo continues to churn out games for its 2017 console. On March 20, the Definitive Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles X was released on the Switch, a game originally from the Wii U. However, this wasn’t just a simple port; developer Monolith Soft made significant improvements to the gameplay experience. Enhancements included upgraded graphics and revamped character models. In addition to visual upgrades, the Definitive Edition featured additional story content, four new playable characters, a higher level cap, and numerous other changes. While players have generally appreciated the game on Switch, some bugs have been reported.

Wow, I’m thrilled that an update for Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition dropped on April 23! This Version 1.0.2 update seems focused on fixing bugs and enhancing the overall experience, addressing over 20 issues players have come across in the vast open-world of Mira. It’s resolved crashing problems, corrected display issues with destination markers, and fixed voice and text errors. Although it doesn’t introduce new content, it does provide additional tips on some menu screens and allows you to see buff and debuff icons during Online Missions. Plus, the developer renamed two quests, making them easier to tell apart – now “Backup Request” is simply more distinguishable!

It’s certainly gratifying to see that Xenoblade Chronicles X is getting another opportunity on the Nintendo Switch. Although it garnered favorable feedback from players on the Wii U, that console was often perceived as a commercial flop. With sales of just 13.56 million units, the Wii U had a much smaller user base compared to the Switch. Given that the Switch has surpassed 150 million units sold, the game now has a chance to reach a broader audience. Additionally, the launch of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition means that all main Xenoblade Chronicles games are now accessible on the Switch.

Looking ahead, it’s exciting to speculate about the future of Monolith Soft and the Xenoblade Chronicles series on the rumored Switch 2. Although not officially confirmed, some enthusiasts believe that Xenoblade Chronicles X might benefit from improved performance on the upgraded hardware. Some players suggest that the game may secretly include a high-performance mode running at 60 frames per second within its files. Whether or not it receives significant enhancements for Switch 2, gamers can probably anticipate playing
