I was wondering if anyone here could help me identify a typeface I quite like.

I see it in many Japanese games, often used for English subtitles. Two titles that come to mind are Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, and more recently Street Fighter 6. Any idea what's the name of the font?

Might be worth trying with a screenshot of the intro of Xenoblade - it's a pure white background for a lot of it.

3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
