While PS5 players can now play Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot on console as the original PS5 version, the same cannot be said for the Xbox Series X|S. In a press release, Bandai Namco announced that DBZ: Kakarot for Xbox Series X|S has been delayed with no proper release date in sight.
According to Bandai Namco, the Xbox Series X|S version of the game suffers from an “unresolved technical issue”. Players who have the Xbox One version of DBZ: Kakarot on their Xbox Series consoles are said to be experiencing an issue where the Xbox Series version of the game automatically downloads and “the game cannot progress.”
Due to the bug, the DLC “-BARDOCK- Alone Against Fate” and “Season Pass 2”, which were supposed to be released on January 13th, have also been delayed.
The bug only occurs for gamers playing the Xbox One version of DBZ: Kakarot on the Xbox Series X|S console, and does not affect those playing on Xbox One. Bandai Namco also confirmed that save data made on Xbox One will not be affected or deleted. As for when this will be resolved, Bandai Namco states that they are currently investigating the cause of the problem and possible countermeasures. However, until further confirmation, they are asking customers to refrain from playing Kakarot on Xbox Series X|S until the issue is resolved. A message will be issued as soon as more details regarding this problem are available.
Hope it gets resolved soon. For those on other platforms, a patch containing the Bardock DLC and other changes was released last week.
