Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 will cost $50 on Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 36 Comments
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 will have a slight discount when it launches on Switch in a couple of months. Based on listings from retailers such as Amazon, pricing will be set at $50. Most retail games on Switch tend to cost $60, but it makes sense to lower Xenoverse 2 given that it’s been out on other platforms for some time. A steeper discount would have likely been preferred by many, though Amazon Prime members can at least nab it for $40.
Bandai Namco confirmed the western release date for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 on Switch yesterday. In both North America and Europe, the game lands on September 22.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 DLC will be sold separately on Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 21 Comments
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is releasing on Switch about a year after the previous versions. Because of that, fans were hoping Bandai Namco would include at least some of the game’s DLC as a nice gesture. Sadly, that won’t be happening.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 will have 87 playable characters, all of whom will be unlocked from the start for those who pick up the game before October 3 in Japan. Goku Black – a pre-order bonus on other platforms – will be included with the Switch version. Other characters such as Zamasu, Fusiin Zamasu, Frost, Bojack, Cabba, and Vegito Blue won’t be included in the main game. Instead, players will need to purchase them separately from the eShop.
