# XCX Recomp: statically recompiling Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition

> XCX Recomp statically recompiles Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch into a Windows x86-64 executable with a Vulkan renderer. It is a fork of TotK Recomp. The project page says a new game, cutscenes, and gameplay run at 60 FPS by default, with a settings range of 30 to 360. XCX-Setup.exe builds the game from the owner's base-game files, the 2.0.0 update, and a key file. Add-on content is optional. Play starts xcx.exe. F1 opens settings and F10 opens the performance overlay.
