- Fixed an issue where, when receiving WP as an amiibo reward while playing New Game Plus with accessory slots increased to three slots, accessory slots would reduce to two slots.
- Note: If you re-unlocked the extra accessory slot after this bug occurred, then the items expended to unlock the extra slot will be returned.
- Fixed an issue where the background music and sound effects balance differed from the Nintendo Switch version.
- Fixed an issue when a Driver joins the party where the Driver will sometimes join with an exorbitant amount of WP.
- Fixed an issue in which Rex sometimes becomes uncontrollable when switching from Pyra to Mythra during combat.
- Fixed an issue in which Pouch Item effects did not activate during combat after swapping MOMO to a form other than the one she was in at combat start.
As a reminder, the physical version of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – Switch 2 Edition will arrive in stores this October.
