Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition has a hidden 60 FPS mode, not fully functional
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Cristopher Peralta in News, Switch | 0 comments
Modder Masagratordev on X has noticed that in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, the game’s executable has a hidden mode allowing it to reach 60 frames per second. However, it seems that it doesn’t seem to work in full. Players are not able to access it currently – whether Monolith Soft abandoned it during development or plans to revisit it later remains to be seen.
Masagratordev dug through the code, which is where the discovery was made. Apparently having it enabled “causes weird issues”.
