A newly discovered glitch lets Xbox Game Pass subscribers redeem a free copy of Dragon Ball FighterZ to keep on Xbox. However, the glitch might only work during Xbox's Free Play Days promotion, so gamers must act quickly to get their copy of Dragon Ball FighterZ.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is a 3v3 tag team fighting game developed by Bandai Namco and Guilty Gear series developer Arc System Works. Released in 2018, Dragon Ball FighterZ received widespread praise from critics and fans due to the game's immersive anime-style graphics, fun gameplay systems, and roster of fan-favorite characters. Although Android 21 (Lab Coat) was Dragon Ball FighterZ's final DLC character, the game continues to receive smaller content updates with fixes and balance adjustments. For example, Dragon Ball FighterZ update 1.38 introduced new mechanics, along with several buffs to characters. Now, there's an opportunity for new fans on Xbox to experience what Dragon Ball FighterZ brings in its current version.

A new glitch discovered by HotUKDeals lets Xbox Game Pass members get and keep a free copy of Dragon Ball FighterZ, which is a part of Xbox's Free Play Days selection until Sunday, March 2 at 11:59 p.m. PST. Players can redeem the Xbox One version of Dragon Ball FighterZ, and selecting the "Upgrade to the Xbox Series X|S Version" option in the game's main menu gives the user a copy of the game to keep for Xbox Series X|S. As HotUKDeals pointed out, the Xbox Series X|S version is tied to the player's Xbox account after the upgrade process is complete, and it should be playable after Dragon Ball FighterZ leaves Free Play Days at the very end of the weekend.

Xbox Free Play Days Glitch Lets Players Keep Dragon Ball FighterZ on Their Accounts

  • Xbox Free Play Days will end on Sunday, March 2 at 11:59 p.m. PST for Xbox Game Pass members.
  • How to use the glitch:
    1. Redeem the Xbox One version of Dragon Ball FighterZ
    2. In the game's main menu, select the "Upgrade to the Xbox Series X|S Version" option.
    3. Exit the game and restart the Xbox Series X|S console.
    4. Head to the "Owned Games" section of the games library to check if Dragon Ball FighterZ for Xbox Series X|S is tied to the account.
    5. Install the Xbox Series X|S version.

Xbox gamers can check if the glitch worked by exiting the game, restarting the Xbox Series X|S console, and heading to the "Owned Games" section of the game library. If the glitch worked after the upgrade, Dragon Ball FighterZ for Xbox Series X|S will appear as a game the player owns. It's worth noting that an Xbox Game Pass subscription is required to attempt the glitch, and even if the glitch works, it's possible that Microsoft and/or Bandai Namco could revoke a user's access to the Xbox Series X|S game.

At the very least, the first weekend of March still presents a great opportunity for players to try out Dragon Ball FighterZ. Bandai Namco will also host its Dragon Ball FighterZ World Tour Finals events from March 15 to March 16, so fans of the game will have plenty of competitive and exciting match-ups to witness soon. In fact, the competitive scene for Dragon Ball FighterZ inspired the franchise's latest game, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero.
