Players on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S have got their hands on the latest Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero update. This patch has not only polished Piccolo and Broly but also smoothed out some stability kinks. It’s part of Spike Chunsoft’s ongoing mission to fine-tune the game and recapture the excitement that electrified fans at launch.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero lets you dive into epic team battles featuring legendary characters like Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan. As the long-awaited successor to Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 from 2007, Sparking Zero landed with quite the bang back in October 2024. Steam alone saw over 100,000 simultaneous fighters clashing on launch day. This runaway hit swiftly sold more than five million copies within just a few months, setting a record as the fastest-selling Dragon Ball game on consoles. Thanks to ongoing updates, including performance enhancements, the game continues to deliver an engaging experience for fans.
On March 4, 2025, the developers released yet another update—version 2009.008.003.006.005—across major platforms. This patch primarily addresses the Extreme Warrior Time Mode, tweaking its balance and fixing a bug where players could sneakily lower Super Broly’s stats through a series of steps. With Piccolo and Orange Piccolo, their spirit and stamina now only get a boost at the first transformation, adding an interesting layer of strategy. Beyond character tweaks, the update promises improved gameplay stability and user experience.
Fans eagerly await more from Spike Chunsoft, as this update coincides with anticipation for upcoming DLCs. Since the first DLC drop in January 2025, there’s buzz around the new expansions pegged for release by the end of March. These expansions draw from the 2024 series Dragon Ball Daima, featuring new characters and fresh content derived from the show.
Excitement for Dragon Ball Daima addition to Sparking Zero is palpable. In February 2025, a mod that introduced Super Saiyan 4 from Dragon Ball Daima into Sparking Zero caught the community’s eye, stirring up anticipation even further for what’s to come.
