Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition’s Switch 2 upgrade is wonderful, and could hint at Monolith Soft’s future on the console

The protagonist runs across an open meadow in Xenoblade Chronicles X. Large fauna and towering mountains can be seen in the distance.

I’m still reeling from the surprise release of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. Not only because it’s quite possibly the worst title for a re-release I’ve ever seen, but also due to it literally coming out of nowhere with Nintendo posting the trailer and shadow dropping it on the eShop simultaneously.

Having played Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for review last year, racking up more than 100 hours of gameplay and ticking off almost every activity the game had to offer, the Switch 2 upgrade admittedly doesn’t offer much for me. Like Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild, it is a basic upgrade that allows the game to hit a 4K resolution (depending on your console’s settings and TV’s capabilities) at up to 60fps.
