List of DLC for Xenoblade Chronicles X

Xenoblade Chronicles X is the first game in the Xeno series to offer additional downloadable content. Paid downloadable content was made available for the Japanese version of the game, featuring new playable characters, Missions, and Skells, among others. This content was included with international releases of the game for free. Additionally, free data packs were made available, reducing load times for physical versions of the game.

Paid downloadable content
For the Japanese version of the game only, seven paid downloadable content packs were released on the Nintendo eShop. These packs are separated into two categories: character addition packs and support mission packs. Character addition packs (¥509) include one new character, three Affinity Missions, two new Arts for Cross, and a schematic for either a new type of Skell or a unique weapon; purchasing any character addition pack also unlocks the ability to use fashion gear, which can only normally be unlocked by completing. Support mission packs (¥306) contain additional singleplayer missions that can be accepted at the Network Console, intended to allow the player to quickly level up characters, earn Credits and Miranium, and raise affinity with party members. A bundle containing all seven packs for a discount (¥2037) was also made available.

All content released as paid DLC for the Japanese version of the game was included for free in international releases of the game - the contents of the character addition quests are made available through story progression, while the contents of the support mission packs are unlocked upon completion of Chapter 12 in place of fashion gear (which is available from the start in international versions).

High-Speed Data Loading Packs

These data packs allow for parts of the game to be installed onto the Wii U console (or an external USB hard drive) to shorten load times. While the data packs can be downloaded regardless of what version of the game is owned, they only decrease load times for the physical version of the game, as the digital version already installs the entire game to the hard drive.
