Hidden 60 FPS Mode in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Fuels Switch 2 Speculation

The unfinished mode, discovered by a modder, raises questions about potential enhancements for Nintendo's upcoming console.

A hidden 60 FPS mode was uncovered in the code of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition by modder MasaGratoR, though it is unfinished and causes issues when enabled.
The discovery has led to speculation that the mode could be linked to future compatibility with the Nintendo Switch 2, which is expected to be detailed in an April 2 Nintendo Direct.
The game uses dynamic resolution scaling to optimize performance on the current Switch, with handheld resolutions ranging from 540p to 720p and docked resolutions from 760p to 1080p.
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition features improved UI, streamlined mechanics, and new content, bringing the Wii U classic to a new audience.
Industry observers have drawn parallels to past console transitions, suggesting the Switch 2 could enhance existing games with better graphics and performance.
