Verdict The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a masterclass on how upgrades should be done, with buttery smooth performance, a great new healer, and a fresh combat mode. However, today we're taking a look at XC2, and not to spoil you on my thoughts, but I think the Switch 2 version is a masterclass in how upgrades should be done. I primarily play games in handheld mode, but I sometimes feel like I'm missing out on seeing all the finer details. The next thing I want to touch on is a new mode: Merc Assault. The upgrade pack is a reasonable $9.99, and the full game is $69.99 ($10 more than the original Switch version).
