Nintendo has updated Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna – The Golden Country to Version 2.0.0, just in time for Xenoblade Chronicles 2‘s release on Switch 2. The patch notes are now live.
The update adds the following:
- Increases the frame rate to 60fps
- Increases the resolution to 4K
- Unlisted fixes and improvements to ensure a smooth gameplay experience
A recent overview trailer for the new version of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 revealed a first look at Pyra & Mythra’s new outfits, as well as the reveal of M.O.M.O. as the new Blade exclusive to the Switch 2 Edition. Another major feature of this version of the game is Merc Assault, a new mode that allows you to choose up to six Blades and play as them in combat. M.O.M.O. is the new Rare Blade, and this pick is quite interesting considering M.O.M.O. is yet another character from the Xenosaga series. She joins both KOS-MOS and T-elos, who are both already Blades in Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
Beyond these new additions, the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition will support 4K resolution and 60FPS gameplay, with 1080p support in handheld mode. This falls in line with both Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. Cutscenes and gameplay have both received these enhancements.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition will release digitally on July 30 for Nintendo Switch 2. A physical copy of the game, which includes the upgrade pack and can be played on either Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2, will launch on October 1. The upgrade pack, available for those who already own the Nintendo Switch version, costs $9.99.
