Summary
Xenoblade Chronicles Xhas been found on a new list of PC games for Microsoft Edge Game Assist. The game has remained a Nintendo-exclusive title for years, so the inclusion ofXenoblade Chronicles Xhas perplexed some players.
Monolith Soft’sXenoblade Chronicles Xfirst launched in December 2015, exclusively on Wii U. Although the game became quite popular among RPG fans, the low-selling Wii U slowed it down compared to other releases at the time. However, in March 2025,Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Editionwas released on Nintendo Switch, bringing the sci-fi adventure to a bigger audience ahead of its tenth anniversary. Now,Xenoblade Chronicles Xhas surprisingly appeared on a new listing for a different platform.
As spotted byNintendoLife,Xenoblade Chronicles Xhas been listed on aMicrosoft PC webpageas a PC game compatible with its new Microsoft Edge Game Assist. This feature was launched on May 29 and lets players look up guides and tips while playing certain PC games. “Many popular PC games are already enhanced for Game Assist, with more on the way,” reads Microsoft’s description. Aside fromXenoblade Chronicles X, the listing features some major recent titles, likeMetaphor: ReFantazio,Split Fiction, andClair Obscur: Expedition 33. However, the appearance ofXenoblade Chronicles Xhas taken players aback.Monolith Soft is fully owned by Nintendo, but neither company has announced a potential PC release. At the time of writing this article, the game remains at the end of the list. It is worth noting that the title doesn’t mention it’s the Definitive Edition.
Xenoblade Chronicles X Found in Microsoft Edge Game Assist’s PC Listing
Some players have reacted to Microsoft’s listing and believe it hints at a future PC launch forXenoblade Chronicles X, though that is very unlikely. Others have deemed it an internal mistake. Interestingly enough,Xenoblade Chronicles Xdoes not appear on theSpanish versionof Microsoft’s Game Assist website. Other games missing from the international list are7 Days to DieandWWE 2K25, so this might be a slip from Microsoft’s side. On the other hand, there are rumors thatXenoblade Chronicles Xcould land on Nintendo Switch 2, since the Definitive Edition added a 60 FPS mode that doesn’t perform well on the original Switch.
The Switch edition ofXenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Editionpresented several changes to the story, enhanced graphics and combat mechanics, and even new characters. Fans appreciated these changes, as they gave the game a more modern feel adapted to current video game trends. Whether the game gets aNintendo Switch 2 Edition upgraderemains to be seen.
