Bandai Namco announced that it has sold over 5 million copies of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero as of the end of 2024. The company added that the 3D fighter game set a new speed sales record on reaching the specific milestone throughout the entire Dragon Ball game series.
The company has previously revealed that it recorded 3 million copies of the game sold within just 24 hours since it officially came out worldwide on October 11, 2024. It therefore took around two and a half more months until the end of December 2024 to add 2 million more units of Sparking Zero to the 5 million tally.
Sparking Zero has generated a lot of interest even before its release, as the new game has not only a massive roster of over 180 characters but also features like custom battle cutscenes. The availability of additional languages for emerging markets like Latin America and Southeast Asia, as well as the still-unusually simultaneous PC release in Japan, also contributed to the sales performance. But even after its release, Bandai Namco still supports the game with DLC and update patches, the latter of which range from gameplay rebalancing to QoL improvements.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is available worldwide on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
