Amazon’s sale on a selection of digital Nintendo Switch games has been great for those hoping to stock up on new options for their digital library. Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is one of the many deals from this sale that stood out to us, but not just for the fact its Switch version is on sale for $39.99. If you’ve been hoping to add it to your Switch 2 library, this Amazon deal can actually save you cash there, too.
Buying the digital Switch 2 edition of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition from the Nintendo eShop will cost you $64.99. However, if you buy the digital edition for the original Switch through this Amazon deal and then purchase the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Upgrade Pack from the eShop for $4.99, that’ll set you back about $45 instead. That’s roughly $20 in savings, so why not take this opportunity to upgrade for less if you’ve wanted Xenoblade Chronicles X for Nintendo’s latest console?

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is a game that’s worthy of a spot in your gaming library. Our review from George Yang had high praise for it, saying “Xenoblade Chronicles X was already one of the Wii U’s best games, and this Definitive Edition has escaped the destruction of its old home like the White Whale and settled down nicely on Switch.”
Yang continued on to say that, “The quality-of-life improvements here are enough to justify another trip to Mira alone for veteran players, and it’s the perfect opportunity for newcomers to explore its beautiful landscapes for themselves.” If its one that’s been sitting on your must-play list, this is a great time to pick it up, especially because the Switch 2 upgrade lets you play at up to 4k resolution and with smoother frame rates.
Alongside Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, Amazon has plenty more digital Switch game deals to explore right now. Our rundown of Amazon’s digital Nintendo Switch game sale highlights some of our top picks, including Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Princess Peach: Showtime, and more.
