As reported by Push Square, only the PS4 version ofDragon Ball Z: Kakarotis available as a part of the PlayStation Plus Extra catalog of games. While it doesn’t change things for PS4 owners, this means that fans on PS5 will have to download the previous generation version ofDragon Ball Z: Kakarotinstead of the upgraded current-gen release. ThePS5 edition ofDragon Ball Z: Kakarotcame out in January 2023, with a free upgrade to existing owners of the game, but it looks like the PS Plus version doesn’t come with the same offer.
The current generation release ofDragon Ball Z: Kakarothas a few major upgrades over the original version, including improved graphics and support for 60 FPS gameplay, So, some PS5 users may be disappointed to learn that they cannot upgrade to this version for free. The remaining cross-generation games available toPS Plus Extramembers this month offer the upgraded version for free, making this situation all the more puzzling.
A similar scenario has occurred before with a different game, asonly the PS4 version ofWWE 2K22was offered to PS Plus Extra and Premium members in January 2023. While the exact reason for this practice is not clear, it seems like publishers want users on PS5 to purchase the current-generation edition instead.
Fans interested in playingDragon Ball Z: Kakarotshould note that Bandai Namco Entertainment has released several pieces of DLC for the game, with more coming in 2023. It was confirmed in 2022 thatDragon Ball Z: Kakarotwould get a second season pass, starting withBardock: Alone Against FateDLC which came out in January 2023 alongside the next-gen release.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarotis available now for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
