Those who own Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country DLC via the expansion pass will have to upgrade Xenoblade Chronicles 2 to access the enhancements. With this patch, the install or download size for the digital version on Switch 1 is 3.3GB and for Switch 2 is 6.2GB as per the eShop page and verified on my consoles. This standalone version is only available digitally in North America now.
Basically the way to access the enhancements based on what you own for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is below as I covered before:
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2 base game: $9.99 Upgrade Pack
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2 with Expansion Pass: $9.99 Upgrade Pack upgrades both the base game and Torna expansion.
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country standalone: Free patch adds the 4K 60fps docked upgrade and 1080p 60fps handheld upgrade.
Note: The physical edition of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition will not include the Expansion Pass similar to how The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Nintendo Switch 2 Edition does not include the Expansion Pass DLC.
