Xbox Game Pass subscribers have stumbled upon an unexpected glitch that allows them to snag and keep a free copy of Dragon Ball FighterZ during Xbox’s Free Play Days. But there’s a catch—gamers need to jump on this opportunity quickly as this glitch might only work while the promotion is still running.
Dragon Ball FighterZ, developed by Bandai Namco and Arc System Works, hit the scene in 2018 and quickly gained fans with its stunning anime-style graphics and thrilling gameplay. Its 3v3 tag team format features a roster packed with beloved characters, keeping players engaged long after its release. Even though the last major DLC character was Android 21 (Lab Coat), the game has been receiving smaller updates, like the enhancements in update 1.38, which introduced new mechanics and character adjustments.
Now, Xbox enthusiasts have a window to experience the action of Dragon Ball FighterZ for themselves. Thanks to a discovery made by HotUKDeals, Xbox Game Pass members can redeem a copy of Dragon Ball FighterZ as part of the Free Play Days lineup, effective until Sunday, March 2, at 11:59 p.m. PST. By downloading the Xbox One version and opting to “Upgrade to the Xbox Series X|S Version” in the game’s menu, players can retain a copy tied to their account, accessible even after Free Play Days wrap up.
For those looking to take advantage of this curious glitch, here’s a step-by-step guide: First, redeem the Xbox One version of Dragon Ball FighterZ. Then, in the game menu, choose to upgrade to the Xbox Series X|S Version. After exiting the game and restarting your console, check the “Owned Games” section in your library to confirm that Dragon Ball FighterZ for Xbox Series X|S is listed as owned. You can then proceed to install the upgraded version.
Keep in mind, however, that while the glitch provides the game for free, it’s contingent on an active Xbox Game Pass subscription. Plus, there’s always a risk that Microsoft or Bandai Namco might later remove access to the game if it’s deemed unauthorized.
This opportunity provides a fantastic chance for new players to dive into Dragon Ball FighterZ, especially with the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Tour Finals just around the corner on March 15-16. Fans can look forward to electrifying matches and fierce competition, undoubtedly spurred by the vibrant community surrounding this captivating fighting game.
