How to start and play Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed DLC

First, buy the Expansion Pass for Xenoblade Chronicles 3. It’s $29.99 on the eShop. Unlike Torna – The Golden Country, it isn’t sold in any standalone form. When you do make this purchase, you’ll also get the previous three waves of content that add new heroes, costumes, and challenges to the main game.

Next, after updating your game to 2.0.0 and downloading the DLC, head into the main game. On the starting menu, there’s a new banner that tells you to press the cross button to access the Future Redeemed expansion. There’ll be a brief warning that explains how greatly it ties into past games, in the event you haven’t beaten them. However, you don’t need to beat the game and can hop right into that storyline.

Once you’re on the Future Redeemed title screen, you can start a new game. It will then let choose the Easy, Normal, or Hard difficult level and begin. (The difficulty can be changed in the options at any time.)

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and the Future Redeemed DLC are available for the Nintendo Switch.
