{{BI|Qix}} is a port of the [[Qix (Arcade)|''Qix'' arcade game]] released digitally in 2022 for the [[Nintendo Switch]] and [[PlayStation 4]]. The original game is mostly intact, with two additional game modes available for play. There are no differences between the Switch and PlayStation 4 release.

This release also has a plethora of user configurable settings, such as control mapping, screen display, and toggling mechanics like lives or the threshold. Furthermore, scores are able to be shared online on a global leaderboard.

===Original Mode===
[[File:QAA Switch NTSC Original Mode.jpg|thumb|right|220px|The original mode]]
Gameplay is identical to the original arcade version. The player Marker must fill in sections of the play field to meet a threshold—usually 75%—while avoiding enemies like the Qix, Sparx, or Fuse. Players are able to toggle win conditions like threshold percentage or how many lives they receive.

===Hi Score Mode===

The player is not permitted to pause or save, and must collect as many points as they can in a standard-rules run. After a game is over, the player may opt to post their score online, and see their ranking during the next game.

===Caravan Mode===
