Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is launching next month on Switch, and it seems like Nintendo has updated the file size ahead of its release. Initially, online listings suggested that the game would require around 15 GB of space. However, the most recent estimate on the Switch eShop shows that the game will only need 13.4 GB of storage.

This suggests that Monolith Soft and Nintendo have found a way to optimize the game’s file size without cutting down on its content. When compared to the Wii U version, which took up more than 20 GB, this is a noticeable reduction. It seems that the game has efficiently compressed for the Switch, offering a better storage footprint without sacrificing quality.
If you decide to pick up the digital version of this definitive edition, you’ll get a game voucher available in select regions. On top of that, there are some pre-order bonuses, such as extra credits, weapons, and other items. The good news is that you’ll also be able to unlock all of these through regular gameplay. As a bonus, purchasing the digital version also gives you a free 14-day trial of Switch Online. This adds even more value to your purchase.
The latest update on Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition reveals its file size, just after the game was rated by the ESRB. It’s still set to launch on March 20th, 2025. So, make sure to mark your calendars to become one of the first players to dive into this unique adventure.
