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”.

Now that Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition has officially launched (at least in some regions), some players might be curious on how long it takes to beat the game.
As you might expect, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is in line with other entries in the series as an incredibly long RPG adventure. Compared to the numbered trilogy, X focuses a bit less on story and more so on exploration with plenty of side quests to offer, too. For that reason, our time estimates differ depending on if you’re fast-tracking to the final boss or if you’re taking your time with all of the side content. Compared to the original version, the game does feature new content and story points, but unlike Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, this new content isn’t available until the end of the game. In other words, it isn’t a separate campaign you can access from the title screen right after you boot up the game for the first time.
