Extras

 * The collections include feature galleries with illustrations, music, videos, and merchandise.
 * The Day of Σ OVA that was originally part of the Mega Man Maverick Hunter X release is available.
 * A brand new mode titled X Challenge, which is a challenge-based mini-game that allows the player to fight two bosses (Mavericks or Fortress Bosses) from the SNES or PS1 X Games (X1-X6) at the same time.

Version Differences

 * High-resolution option to apply a filter for the SNES and PS1 games (X-X6) and HD visual for the PS2 games (X7 and X8).
 * Much like with Mega Man Legacy Collection and Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 each game will get its own background frame.
 * The English names of the Mavericks from Mega Man X5 will have their names changed to be direct translations of their original Japanese names. In the original English release, their names were inspired by the band Guns N' Roses. This change was considered for the Mega Man X Collection, but was dropped.
 * A new gameplay option known as "Rookie Hunter Mode" is added to help inexperienced players. This mode works similar to the Super Armor option from Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 of cutting damage in half. In addition, the new mode can also prevent instant death from pits and spikes when using any of the Playstation X titles (X4-X8).
 * The Repliforce salute shown in X4s opening cutscene was removed.
 * FMV cutscenes in X4 are dimmed when flashes occur on screen.
 * Any mention of the name "Octopardo" in X5 has been changed to "Launch Octopus".
 * The opening and ending vocal themes of X6 have been removed in the American version, with new instrumental tracks replacing them.
 * Load times for both X7 and X8 have been improved.
 * Aluce's cigar is removed from the Japanese version of X7.

Trivia

 * This release marks the first time the X series was released on an Xbox system and also the first time that the PS2 releases of Mega Man X7 and X8 were released on a Nintendo system as the PS1 releases of X4-X6 were part of the previous Mega Man X Collection which was released on the Nintendo Gamecube in North America only.
 * Both games will be rated T for Teen by the ESRB, making them the first two Mega Man games to have a rating over E10+ for Everyone 10+.
 * Most of the characters from the X series now have their original artwork updated to a more modern look.
 * Mega Man X Legacy Collection is the third Mega Man game to be first released in the United States, the others being Mega Man Zero Collection and Mega Man 11.
