==Dragon Quest XI S: Definitive Edition==

This version of the game includes the following new features and improvements in addition to all content seen in the international {{PS4}}/PC release. This version is the marriage of the best features of the {{3DS}} and {{PS4}} versions, and will allow the player to alternate between 2D and 3D modes at any church or [[goddess]] statue.

It was originally exclusive to the Nintendo Switch but it was eventually ported to PlayStation 4, Xbox One (and Gamepass), PC (Steam), and Stadia. This new version replaced de facto the original version on PSN and Steam. The Stadia version became unplayable once the service went offline in 2023.
