Nintendo not only announced Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for Switch 2 this week, but launched the game digitally as well. But now that players have had some hands-on time with the game, we’re hearing about some visual issues.
Nintendo did say the game runs up to 60 frames per second, and that’s mostly the case. However, the action can run just slightly lower than that in busier areas such as New Los Angeles. The good news is that you’re pretty much getting 60 FPS when moving around Mira or during combat.
