Nintendo’s official customer service X (formerly Twitter) account has confirmed that the company is aware of issues with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and is in the process of preparing a patch. The main issue identified in the tweet involves a bug where accessory equipment slots are reduced from 3 slots to 2 slots in New Game Plus mode. Additionally, Nintendo confirmed that background music is lower than intended. Both of these issues will be addressed in a patch at a later date. No current date was provided.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition added MOMO as a new Rare Blade, and this pick is quite interesting considering MOMO 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 this, the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition supports 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, and Monolith even addressed fan complaints about field skills.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is available now on 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. Check out our impressions of the game so far below:
