Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 getting current-gen update and more in 2024

The Dragon Ball series is undeniably one of the biggest franchises in anime, with its popularity translating to sales success on the video game front. One of the series’ most popular games in recent years has been Xenoverse 2. Despite being almost 7 years old at this point, the 3D fighter is set to get a bunch of new free content alongside a PS5 / Xbox Series patch,

Making the surprise announcement on Twitter, the official Dragon Ball Games page said “A Big Free update is coming on October 12, 2023! New events, new battle modes, and other features will be added to make DRAGON BALL Xenoverse 2 even more fun! The schedule for future updates is here! Stay tuned for a constantly evolving #DBXV2!”

Alongside the announcement, a roadmap was released, showing that these many updates will extend into 2024 with an additional scenario, additional playable characters and ‘other content’. Perhaps the most exciting revelation however is the fact that Xenoverse 2 will also be getting an update for current-gen systems at some point in 2024 – though no release window was provided otherwise.

Back in may of this year, Dragon Ball publisher Bandai Namco announced that Xenoverse 2 had sold over 10 million copies – making it one of the best-selling anime games of all time (only behind Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4’s 12 million copies).

That said, considering the fact that Xenoverse 2 is set to get a whole bunch of new content, it would not be surprising to see the fighter eventually surpass Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. Hopefully the PS5 and Series X|S versions offer comprehensive upgrades.
