In late July 2026 Logicalbeat confirmed a partnership with Monolith Soft to deliver 4K/60 fps for the Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. The edition launched on 30 July, offering native 4K/60 fps docked and 1080p/60 fps handheld performance, exclusive content, and a performance‑upgrade pack for owners of the 2017 release.

On 3 August 2026 Nintendo expanded the Switch 2 refresh with upgraded versions of two flagship RPGs. The Final Fantasy X/X‑2 HD Remaster was rebuilt for the console, delivering a steadier framerate, higher resolution and faster load times while preserving the original story and gameplay. Monolith Soft’s Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Switch 2 Edition added visual and performance options, including a 1440p quality mode, a 120 fps performance mode and a maximum‑quality setting, alongside minor content tweaks and stability improvements. Reviewers in Italy, Belgium, Portugal and Brazil noted the enhancements made the game feel fresh on the new hardware. An indie title, Constance, was also ported, showcasing the Switch 2’s ability to render high‑resolution art and high‑frame‑rate experiences, underscoring Nintendo’s broader push to refresh its library for the Switch 2 generation.
