Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition stands out as one of the top RPGs on Nintendo Switch, even years after its launch. This version, originally released for Wii in 2010 and later for New Nintendo 3DS, represents the third iteration of Monolith Soft`s epic journey.
It features a deep and engaging real-time action-battle combat system with customizable difficulty settings. The Definitive Edition enhances the experience with the `Future Connected` epilogue, adding an extra 10-20 hours of story content to the already expansive 50+ hour main campaign.
Praised for its superb gameplay, beautifully crafted world, strong ensemble cast (including protagonist Shulk), and exceptional writing, the Xenoblade Chronicles trilogy is considered a benchmark in the modern RPG genre. The Definitive Edition received a commendable 9/10 score in its review.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Released in 2017, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was a pivotal RPG exclusive for the Nintendo Switch. While it may not reach the same critical heights as its predecessor, it remains a highly enjoyable role-playing game. Although not strictly necessary, playing the games in chronological order is highly recommended to fully appreciate the overarching narrative of the trilogy.
Despite some initial pacing and narrative challenges, the game boasts an excellent combat system and a vast, captivating world ripe for exploration. The initial hours of its 60+ hour campaign can be slow, but the latter half delivers a truly thrilling experience.
Current Price: $41.88 (Was $60)
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Expansion Pass
The Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Expansion Pass includes the significant standalone expansion, Torna – The Golden Country, which launched in 2018. Set approximately 500 years before the main game, Torna introduces a new cast and offers a compelling 20-hour campaign. While Torna can be purchased separately, the Expansion Pass provides greater value for owners of the base game.
Currently on sale for $20.88 (Was $30) – roughly half the cost of the standalone Torna – the Expansion Pass also grants access to additional quests, a Challenge Battle mode, exclusive Rare Blades for characters like Shulk and Fiora, and various other in-game items.

While Xenoblade Chronicles 3 does not have as substantial a discount as its predecessors, a modest saving can still be found on its digital bundle, which includes the base game and Expansion Pass.
Physical Editions of the Xenoblade Chronicles Series
Finding physical editions of the mainline Xenoblade Chronicles series often means paying full retail price, or even above it due to scarcity, especially for US editions of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Torna – The Golden Country. However, importing region-free UK editions can sometimes offer a better deal. Many of the physical editions available are from third-party resellers, though often fulfilled by major retailers like Amazon or Walmart.
