Nordics” on PC. This update includes several enhancements such as adding Steam Timeline markers for new background music, optimizing performance on certain system configurations, implementing UI and font rendering improvements for the Steam Deck, and more.
In today’s release, we’ve enhanced the PCSS shadow rendering, rectified issues with input loss on Windows 11, made certain translations accurate, and more. This marks the first update for the game since November 2024.
If you haven’t had a chance to check out all our Ys X: Nordics content yet, I recommend giving Adam’s review, my thoughts on the Steam Deck, my console comparison, and my interview with Durante a read.
The popular game series “Ys” has now been released in the Western region for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam). Meanwhile, “Ys X: Proud Nordics” is set to debut on July 31 exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 in Japan, and on August 21 for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam in Asia, distributed by Clouded Leopard Entertainment.

Hi everyone,
Today, we’re unveiling an upgrade for Ys X: Nordics that incorporates a selection of fresh, modest enhancements, overall refinements, and predominantly minor bug resolutions.
New Features
- Add Steam Timeline markers when a new BGM track is played
- Offer the choice to have Steam verify the game’s integrity upon crashes while running with Steam enabled
Improvements
- Improve UI texture and font rendering sampling on low-res screens (e.g. Steam Deck)
- Improve PCSS shadow sampling quality in some situations
- Improve out-of-the-box performance on some specific configurations (specifically, “auto” extra_host_write_buffering now enabled by default on Intel dGPUs, and disabled by default on AMD iGPUs)
- Improve SDL input compatibility (change SDL hints to only use XInput and HID API)
Bug Fixes
- Fix recapture drill menu list button repeat handling
- Fix Windows 11 24H2 dropping raw input randomly when alt-tabbing
- Ignore extra user folders in the save location
- Some text fixes in the French localization
- Add missing Japanese translation for a setting
Just like before, feel free to switch back to the earlier edition whenever you wish. You can easily accomplish this by utilizing the “Beta” option on Steam.
Best Regards,
Peter “Durante” Thoman
