Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 deactivates Switch’s screenshot function during cutscenes
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 17 Comments
It seems like Bandai Namco added a curious limitation to the Switch version of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. The game deactivates the system’s share button during cutscenes, meaning you’re unable to take screenshots of those moments. This was presumably done to prevent spoilers from being spread on social media, but it seems like a strange decision given that the game has been out on other systems for a while now and isn’t exactly narrative-driven to begin with.
It remains to be seen if Bandai Namco will do the same with other Switch games in the future, and if other developers will follow their example.
