Welcome Back to Mira: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Arrives on Nintendo Switch 2!
The year is 2054. Mankind has been forced to leave Earth behind after it was caught in the crossfire of a galactic war. You are one of the survivors aboard the New Los Angeles (NLA) colony ship, which has crashed on the mysterious and hostile planet Mira.
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition — Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is out today digitally, bringing the massive open-world RPG to Nintendo's next-generation hardware with staggering performance upgrades.
Exploring Mira in True 4K
The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is a massive visual leap forward. For the first time, you can experience the five diverse continents of Mira with the fidelity they deserve:
• 4K Resolution: When playing in TV mode, the world is rendered in crisp 4K, making the massive scale of the local wildlife and environments truly breathe.
• Silky Smooth 60 FPS: The game now runs at up to 60 frames per second in both TV and Handheld modes (which renders at 1080p), providing a much-needed fluidity to the action-packed battle system.
