Welcome to Gaming After Hours: A freelancing website where future journalist express themselves and get noticed.
Excited for Xenoblade Chronicles X? Want to have the possible experience but are worried about the load times? That’s understandable given how massive the game is. Luckily both Europe and North America will be to address these concerns by downloading the data packs from the Wii U eShop right now.
There are a total of four data packs, many over several gigabytes and will help alleviate the load times if installed onto the Wii U’s internal memory or a USB storage device. None of these data packs are required to play the game, nor do add any additional gameplay advantage to those who don’t install them other than the improved load times. Deleting them will also not change the overall tone of the game either.
Please do not confuse these data packs as the actual game or as a playable demo as they are designed to work with players who purchased the physical copy of the game. Those who purchased the digital version from the Wii U eShop will not see any improvement in the load times.
