Microsoft's official website posted a May 29 blog entry to announce the launch of the new Microsoft Edge Game Assist feature, which helps players access the web (for example, to search for tips and tricks) without leaving the game they are playing. The blog entry briefly listed Nintendo's Xenoblade Chronicles X game as one of the games enhanced with the new Game Assist feature. The blog has since removed Xenoblade Chronicles X from the list.

Gaming website VideoGamer reported the game's brief listing on Monday, and stated at the time that Microsoft had not removed the Xenoblade Chronicles X game from its list of titles for at least two days, as noticed by fans. A PC port of the game has not been announced.

Nintendo's Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, a new Nintendo Switch version of the original 2015 Wii U action open-world role-playing game, recently launched on March 20.

Monolith Soft's Xenoblade Chronicles X "spiritual successor" shipped for the Wii U system in December 2015. The game debuted in April 2015 in Japan as Xenoblade X. Tetsuya Takahashi previously expressed a desire to port Xenoblade Chronicles X to Switch.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 launched for Switch in July 2022, alongside its first expansion pass. The second expansion pass wave debuted in October 2022. Wave 3 — which included a new Challenge Battle mode, a new hero character, new quests, and new outfits — debuted on February 2023. Wave 4 launched in April 2023.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 shipped for Switch in December 2017.

Nintendo released the original Xenoblade Chronicles for Nintendo Wii in Japan in 2010, Europe in 2011, and North America in 2012. Nintendo released Xenoblade Chronicles 3D for the New Nintendo 3DS in April 2015 in North America and Europe. Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, the Switch remake of the original game, launched in May 2020.
