Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Launches Today With Enhanced Performance And Visuals

In Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, the year is 2054 and Earth has been destroyed. A colony ship of human survivors – including your customisable main character – has narrowly escaped the devastation and crashes on the mysterious planet Mira. Trek across a massive, dangerous world and fight for humanity’s future in this sci-fi RPG. Immerse yourself in an action-packed battle system with a variety of special attacks and skills to employ, enemies of all shapes and sizes to take down and more. You can even pilot a Skell that can fly, transform into a vehicle and wield immense strength in combat – if you can prove yourself to the BLADE organisation, first.

Players can also join a squad of up to 31 other players online and work together to complete tasks such as collecting a certain number of items or felling specific enemies. Up to four squad members can team up online and face off against powerful foes. Additionally, they can recruit the avatars of other players to their team in the main story.

For players who already have Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch, an upgrade pack is also available today. A physical version of the game will be available on April 16th, 2026
