Rebuild humanity on the mysterious planet Mira in this action RPG. The year is 2054. Earth has been destroyed by an intergalactic war between two alien races, and humanity is on the brink of annihilation. A small number of survivors, aboard the USS White Whale, crash land on the vast and untamed planet Mira—and now it falls to you, as a member of BLADE, to help bring humanity back from the edge of extinction…with the aid of powerful giant robots called Skells! The visually enhanced edition of this open-world RPG contains newly added story elements and more. The Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition game is coming to the Nintendo Switch system on March 20, 2025! Take on tough foes in a robust combat system, and pilot powerful giant robots called Skells. Choose from a huge variety of special attacks, skills, and classes in a combat system that’s as deep as you want it to be. Once you’ve proven yourself to BLADE, you’ll earn the right to pilot and personalize your very own Skell—a powerful machine that can fly, transform into a vehicle for fast overland travel, and wield immense strength in combat with customizable weapons and armor. Gather resources and take on missions to build the community of New Los Angeles. As you go about the reconstruction effort, getting to know the people of New Los Angeles (NLA), you’ll build affinity with your party members and unlock quests for gear and other rewards. Join your choice of military organization within BLADE to take on even more missions—or even team up with up to 32 players from near and far online* in Squad Tasks, Online Missions, and extra-challenging Global Nemesis Battles! * Any Nintendo Switch Online membership (sold separately) and Nintendo Account required for online features. Membership auto-renews after initial term at the then-current price unless canceled. Not available in all countries. Internet access required for online features. Terms apply.
- Explore the vast and mysterious planet Mira, now with enhanced visuals and additional content: Includes all content from the Wii U version of the game, plus additional story elements and more
- Pilot and personalize powerful giant robots called Skells: Grow the community of New Los Angeles and build affinity with your party by completing missions
Q: Can you customize your Skell with different weapons and armor?
A: Yes, once you prove yourself to BLADE you will be able to personalize your Skell with customizable weapons and armor.
Q: How does the combat system work in this game?
A: The combat system in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition lets you take on tough foes using special attacks, skills, and classes, allowing for a deep and customizable experience.
Q: What are the Skells and how do they enhance gameplay?
A: Skells are powerful giant robots that enhance gameplay by allowing players to fly, quickly travel across land in vehicle form, and wield immense strength in combat using customizable weapons and armor.
Q: Do you need an online membership to play the game online?
A: Yes, a Nintendo Switch Online membership is required to team up with other players online.
Q: What kind of missions can you take on in the game?
A: You can join a military organization within BLADE to take on more missions, or team up with other players online in Squad Tasks, Online Missions, and Global Nemesis Battles.
Q: Does this come with the pre-order bonus Exploration Support Package?
A: It seems like you wouldn't get the Exploration Support Package with a Best Buy order, but having played the WiiU release, you're not going to use the gear long enough to care, and the starter bonus will eventually become insignificant once you get 2 to 3 chapters further into game progress. Personally, I would rather have the mini poster and stand than the digital items because it would stand as a nicer memento than the digital gear, which I might accidentally sell in the course of the gameplay.
Q: Does this come with steel case/ preorder bonus
A: No steel case. There is a Mini Metal Poster that was offered as a pre-order bonus for online pre-orders starting 01/23/2025 "while supplies last". I pre-ordered back in January and it was added to my order a few days later. I couldn't tell you whether it's still available or if they've run out.

Populate your island with Mii characters—and find out what happens when they all live there together!

Go deep into getting every detail just right, or create Miis quickly and easily by answering some simple questions, and then help them explore their likes and dislikes, find relationships, and get up to all sorts of fun. Your Miis are bound to surprise you as they take on a life of their own! Become the caretaker of an island full of silliness, drama, love, and other surprises. Populate your island with Miis and then pick them up and place them near each other to chat and hang out. Watch your Miis forge unlikely friendships, get into fights, fall in (and out of) love unexpectedly, and so much more as they live their lives! Get to know what your Mii characters like as you take care of them. Give them clothes, food, items, and—most importantly—life advice as they deal with all kinds of problems and situations. You’ll also naturally help shape the community as Miis may pick up and start using the words and phrases you teach them. Build, decorate, and give gifts to make your Miis happy. Shape your landscape! Design your island and place homes, stores, restaurants, and more to supply events and entertainment for your community. Decorate your Mii characters' homes by gifting them furniture, wallpaper, floors, custom-designed interior and exterior decorations, and more—and create pets, food, clothing, and items like books and video games to suit each Mii!
