Xenoblade Chronicles X Switch Early Purchase DLC Adds Equipment

Nintendo Europe announced that anyone who buys Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for the Switch by April 6, 2025 will also get Exploration Support Pack DLC that includes equipment. So far, only that region’s site features the intel about the bonus, but Nintendo America also confirmed it will be available. A new trailer for the game is available in every region too.

How someone gets the Xenoblade Chronicles X Exploration Support Pack DLC varies depending on how they get the Switch game. If someone buys a physical copy, then there will be a code included inside launch copies. As such, there would be more time to possibly get it that way. If you go for a digital copy, the Nintendo Europe site noted someone has to get it from the eShop before April 6, 2025 to get the bonus. 

Here’s how the add-on’s items will look. The extra equipment includes an Advanced Iron Knife, an Advanced Storm Assault Rifle, the Survival armor series set that gives you Survival Bodywear, Survival Footwear, Survival Gloves, and Survival Goggles, a set of six weapon augments, a set of five armor augments, and 100,000 credits you can use at in-game stores.

Here’s the latest Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition trailer. It explains how the player and their new allies ended up on a foreign planet, what life is like on the new world, and what we’ll need to do in order to survive. There’s also another look at the additional scenes added to this entry at the end of the video.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition will come to the Nintendo Switch on March 20, 2025. The standard version of the game also appeared on the Wii U.
