Unplayable Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition 2026-11-10

The game never loaded it was just a infinite black screen

What happened

I attempted messing with the game files to find the issue, the game loads perfectly if update is not installed however due to the latest update not being install it runs the switch 1 version and does not use the upgrade pack DLC of the game, hence the switch 2 version is currently unplayable.

How far they got
