Xenoblade Chronicles X may have a hidden Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade

A 60fps mode hidden in the files might point to more performance on Nintendo's upcoming hybrid console

A subsequent patch for the title may see the 60fps mode properly implemented for Nintendo’s upcoming console, offering a smoother experience than is currently possible on the original Switch, which was first released over eight years ago. In other instances, games for Xbox One have been enhanced via a free update, while Sony has largely put its upgrades behind a paywalled Definitive Edition or Director's Cut version. We're expecting to hear more about Nintendo's upcoming console on April 2, after an initial teaser in mid-January 2025, with a potential release date that's just under two months away.
