Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition's Hidden Mode Could Hint At Switch 2 Feature
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition has a hidden mode that could hint at how games will perform on Nintendo Switch 2.
According to modder MasaGratoR, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition has a hidden executable that enables 60fps mode. However, when the mode is turned on, it seems to cause some undetermined issues. As for how the game performs on Switch, its dynamic resolution range is 504p-720p in handheld mode and 760p-1080p while docked.
It's unknown why the game would have this hidden mode, but its speculated that it could unlock when being played on Nintendo Switch 2. There's a chance that the game could receive a patch that lets it take full advantage of the new hardware's capabilities. With the full extent of Switch 2's backwards-compatibility limitations still unknown, though, it's unclear whether this is actually the case.
