In Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, the year is 2054 and Earth has been destroyed. A colony ship of human survivors—including your customizable main character – has narrowly escaped the devastation and crashes on the mysterious planet Mira. Trek across a massive, dangerous world and fight for humanity’s future in this science-fiction RPG. Immerse yourself in an action-packed battle system with a variety of special attacks and skills to employ, enemies of all shapes and sizes to take down and more. You can even pilot a Skell that can fly, transform into a vehicle and wield immense strength in combat—if you can prove yourself to the BLADE organization, first.

Players can also join a squad of up to three other players online and work together to complete tasks such as collecting a certain number of items or felling specific enemies. Up to four squad members can also team up online for special assignments and face off against powerful foes for in-game rewards. Additionally, they can recruit the avatars of other players to their team in the main story.
