Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition to Launch on Switch with Major Enhancements

The remastered version includes 20-30 hours of new story content, improved navigation, and portability, solidifying its legacy as a groundbreaking open-world RPG.

Originally released in 2015 on the Wii U, Xenoblade Chronicles X faced hardware limitations that constrained its story and online systems.
The Definitive Edition, releasing on March 20, 2025, adds 20-30 hours of new story content, addressing the original’s incomplete narrative.
Early reviews praise the remaster's quality-of-life improvements, including better tutorials and enhanced navigation features, earning it an 88 Metacritic score.
The game’s expansive open world on the planet Mira, which is four times larger than Zelda: Breath of the Wild, remains a core highlight.
The Switch version introduces portability, allowing players to explore Mira’s vast landscapes and pilot Skell mechs on the go.
