This game received a downloadable expansion in 2018 titled ''{{iw|xenoserieswiki|Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country}}'', which is a prequel story that explains how many character are in their positions by the events of the main game. Other small downloadable content was released after the main game, notably Shulk and [[Fiora]] as blades. This particular pack confirms that previous games exist in alternate universes and an event that could destroy them all is coming.

In between mainline entries, a full high-definition remake of the game with added story content, titled ''{{iw|xenoserieswiki|Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition}}'', was released for the Nintendo Switch on May 29, 2020. This version included a slightly different artstyle to fit better with its sequel, re-recorded music, and a new time attack mode. However, the lack of feature introduced in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 3D'' like the juke box drew some criticism and prevented the game from truly being the definitive edition of the game. This release also include a new campaign titled ''{{iw|xenoserieswiki|Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected}}'', which is available from the start. This campaign reintroduces content cut from the original release, and adds more teases to the shared universe concept introduced in both ''Xenoblade Chronicles X'' and ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2''.

During the Nintendo Direct of February 9, 2022, Monolith Soft made the official announcement of ''{{iw|xenoserieswiki|Xenoblade Chronicles 3}}'' for Nintendo Switch and originally set to be released for September 2022. However, the game was finished ahead of schedule and released on July 29, 2022. This game is the final installment in the Klaus saga, and fully realizes the shared universe concept with the worlds of the previous numbered entries combining into one, with the goal to undo this damage or at least bring peace. Gameplay is largely similar to previous entries, with the main gimmick being a greatly expanded battle party, now containing six active members instead of the typical three at a time. This allows for more strategies and customization, which leads to more unique battle scenarios. The game once again received overall positive reception and was praised as the culmination of what made previous games great in the first place. There was criticism levied towards a divisive ending and performance issues caused by aging Nintendo Switch hardware, but most reviews admitted that these complaints were either minor issues or up to personal tastes.
