The physical version is discounted, too, but buying digitally is the fastest way to jump in.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is far from the only Switch game that’s discounted right now. GameStop, Amazon, and Walmart are offering several first-party games at up to $30 off, including Princess Peach: Showtime, Super Mario RPG, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and more. Better yet, some of those games have received Switch 2 upgrades that don’t cost extra.
