Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition has been available to play exclusively on the Nintendo Switch for a little over a month now. Due to the nature of the game, there hasn't been a significant need for an update. However, that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't need an update at all. Every new first-party game that Nintendo Switch will inevitably have some bugs in need of fixing.

This is no exception. Nintendo has released a brand new update for Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. Once you update, the game should be at version 1.0.2. A very large portion of this update is only to fix some bugs, though there are a few adjustments made as well. You can see the official patch notes in full down below.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where the sound effects were playing in mono in some movies.
