We’re less than two months away from the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch-exclusive RPG that was officially revealed earlier this year. In a surprise move, Nintendo moved the release date of its September 2022 window to July 29. If you know you are going to get Xenoblade Chronicles 3, pre-orders are available now. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is also getting a special edition, exclusive to the My Nintendo Store and going live on June 8.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 pre-order bonus
Nintendo has yet to announce any pre-order bonuses for Xenoblade Chronicles 3. However, that may change in the future, as it’s quite common for retailers to offer one-time pre-order bonuses for Nintendo Switch exclusives.
Pre-order the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition

The Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition is exclusive to the My Nintendo Store. Pre-orders will go live tomorrow, June 8, although an exact time has not been announced. Each Nintendo Account holder can purchase two copies of the Special Edition. Quantities will be limited and we expect it to sell out fairly quickly. The special edition comes with a steelbook case, a hardcover art book and a special box with a unique cover.
