Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition has a hidden 60 FPS mode, not fully functional

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”. 

Other than that, Masagratordev shares a couple of technical details. Dynamic resolution ranges from 504p-720p when played portably. This moves up to 760p-1080p when docked. Overall the game should run at a higher resolution and a more stable frame rate compared to the Wii U original.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition just launched on Nintendo Switch and is available worldwide now. Read more about the game here.

Thanks to Masagratordev for the news above.
