Description

Bandai Namco has officially unveiled new details regarding the performance of Tales of Xillia Remastered on the Nintendo Switch, providing important context for fans and prospective players ahead of the game's launch.

Originally developed for the PlayStation 3, Tales of Xillia made its mark as a critically acclaimed Japanese RPG, and its upcoming remaster is highly anticipated by series enthusiasts and newcomers alike. According to Bandai Namco, Tales of Xillia Remastered will run at 30 frames per second on the Nintendo Switch.

This frame rate applies consistently across standard gameplay and battle sequences, a notable change from the original PlayStation 3 version, where the majority of gameplay operated at 30 FPS, but the battle segments reached 60 FPS.

As a result, Switch players will experience a uniform but lower frame rate compared to the enhanced battle fluidity found in the initial release. In a statement shared this week, Bandai Namco representatives clarified that "Tales of Xillia Remastered targets a steady 30 FPS across all gameplay modes on Nintendo Switch, aligning with most of the original experience but without separate battle frame rates." This means that, regardless of in-game activity, the game will remain capped at 30 FPS, though actual performance may still vary depending on screen activity. On a more positive note, Bandai Namco has confirmed that Tales of Xillia Remastered boasts native resolution support on the Nintendo Switch.

Players can expect full 1080p resolution when the console is docked and 720p in handheld mode, with these resolutions being fixed rather than dynamically scaled.

This ensures a clear and consistent visual presentation, whether playing on the big screen or on the go. Tales of Xillia Remastered is set to release for Nintendo Switch on October 31, 2025.

This remastered edition offers both veterans and series newcomers the opportunity to experience this celebrated RPG with enhanced visuals tailored for Nintendo's popular hybrid platform.

The confirmation of frame rate and resolution clarifies what players can expect in terms of performance and graphical fidelity, setting clear expectations for those planning to revisit Rieze Maxia on the Switch. This announcement follows recent Nintendo Direct updates and additional news about Bandai Namco’s upcoming titles, including performance insights on Dragon Ball Sparking Zero for both the next-generation Nintendo hardware and the original Switch.

With continued support for RPG classics and new releases alike, Bandai Namco remains a key publisher to watch on Nintendo platforms. Stay tuned for more official updates on Tales of Xillia Remastered, including gameplay trailers and availability details on the Nintendo eShop as the release date approaches.
