Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Brings UI Overhaul and Gameplay Tweaks to Switch

The remaster of the 2015 Wii U title launches March 20, enhancing accessibility while retaining its vast open-world exploration and sci-fi narrative.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition updates the original with improved UI, clearer combat mechanics, and additional quality-of-life features like Quick Cooldown and a Follow Ball for easier navigation.
The game retains its unique sci-fi setting, allowing players to explore the alien world of Mira and its diverse ecosystems while unraveling the story of humanity's survival after Earth's destruction.
Visual updates include sharper character models and enhanced environmental details, though some technical issues like texture pop-in and minor performance stutters persist from the original version.
The combat system, blending auto-attacks with strategic use of Arts, has been refined with better interface clarity and new mechanics to enhance engagement during battles.
The remaster integrates new content into the main game, but early previews suggest the improvements focus on accessibility and polish rather than radical changes.
