Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition

NSW

XCX Recomp: a static recompilation of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, the 2025 Nintendo Switch release, into a native Windows x86-64 application with a Vulkan renderer. It builds on TotK Recomp, Valiantsin Dzerakh’s Tears of the Kingdom recompilation, which is also in the catalog. Its installer, XCX-Setup, builds the game on your PC from your files, and the result contains the game, so it is for your own use only. The README describes it as early development: starting a new game, cutscenes, and gameplay work on Windows with sound, text, and menus, at 60 fps by default (30 to 360 in the settings; above 60 is experimental). It supports update 2.0.0 and the add-on content, and has an in-game settings menu (F1), a performance overlay (F10), and keyboard, mouse, and gamepad support. The first release came out on October 31, and 0.1.4, on November 1, added a Linux build as an AppImage. 0.1.13 fixed the crash at boot on Linux, which the person who reported it confirmed on a Steam Deck, and fit the interface to ultrawide screens, with the Load Game screen and the models in some menus still stretched. The latest is 0.1.14 (November 2), which gets movies playing on Linux. Mods made for emulators are still planned. According to the README, most of the code and documentation is written by AI coding agents (Claude Code) under its author’s direction, who plays every build and decides what gets merged.

You needYour own copy of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch, dumped from your console: the base game and the 2.0.0 update as NSP files (the add-on content is optional), plus your console’s keys (prod.keys). Windows 10 or later, an x86-64 CPU with AVX2, a GPU with Vulkan 1.3 and VK_EXT_external_memory_host, and about 36 GiB free during setup (20 GiB after). There is also a Linux build.
