Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is a remaster of Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Nintendo Switch. It features updated graphics and new story elements. It is based upon the English release of the original game, and therefore includes the downloadable content associated with the Japanese release.
The game is playable in English, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese and Korean.[1]
