The universe created by the late mangaka Akira Toriyama, who passed away in 2024, continues to bear fruit in the video game industry with dozens of adaptations ranging from frenetic combat to role-playing adventures. Reaching the month of August 2026, a good portion of these works remain alive through continuous expansion packages, maintaining community engagement. Major titles, such as Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, continue to receive paid updates that add new fighters, extend the story mode and modernize the mechanics for brand enthusiasts.

On the other hand, the national market underwent a recent restructuring due to ECA Digital regulations, which directly impacted the availability of certain works. Specific projects, such as Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra and Dragon Ball: The Breakers, ended up being removed from virtual computer and console stores in Brazilian territory. Below, we list seven alternatives based on the Japanese work that remain active and represent excellent entertainment choices in the year 2026, running on modern hardware such as PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch 2 and computers.

What does the title Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO currently offers players

Developed by the Spike Chunsoft team under the auspices of Bandai Namco, the latest chapter in the Budokai Tenkaichi lineage focuses on three-dimensional clashes full of sequences of blows, devastating spells and shape changes. During the debut window, the product delivered a massive cast made up of 182 selectable figures, encompassing classic heroes such as Goku, Vegeta, Gohan and Piccolo, as well as various antagonists and fusions. This initial number grew considerably over the following months, thanks to the injection of additional packages sold separately.

On July 30, 2026, the producer released the Super Limit-Breaking NEO package, responsible for injecting 33 new fighters from the Z, Super and GT phases of the animation. The update also brought four new scenarios for confrontations and launched the Limit Breaker Journey mode. This modality allows you to navigate an interactive map, face specific challenges and improve the warriors’ attributes, transferring this progress in strength to the software’s other competitive modes.

Who wants to purchase Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO finds the following market options according to the chosen platform:

  • PlayStation 5: sold in digital stores for R$349.90.
  • Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S: available for R$399.90.
  • Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2: priced at R$ 339.90.
  • Computers: sold through the Steam platform for R$282.50.

Exploration and expanded narrative in the RPG Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot

Considered one of the most immersive projects ever made under the Toei Animation license, the work by the CyberConnect2 studio retells the trajectory of the protagonist and his allies against the greatest threats in the universe. The structure moves away from traditional fighting and embraces the action RPG genre, requiring the user to accumulate experience points, improve statistics and unlock skill trees. The open map encourages high-speed flying, resource gathering, interactions with classic characters, and solving secondary tasks that complement the main storyline.

Since hitting the shelves, the work has accumulated a vast history of expansions that brought extra narrative arcs, superior transformations and new maps. In the year 2026, the developer released the second half of the content focused on the most recent animated series, called DAIMA: Adventure Through the Demon Realm – Part 2. This add-on takes the group of heroes directly to the Demon Realm, adding dozens of hours of exploration to the base title.

Access to Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot costs R$114.90 on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Nintendo Switch platforms. For PC players, the digital edition costs R$98.90 on the Steam store.

Competitiveness and visual fidelity mark Dragon Ball FighterZ matches

Created by fighting game specialists at Arc System Works, responsible for the Guilty Gear franchise, this project won over the public by delivering two-dimensional graphics that appear to be hand-drawn, perfectly simulating the features of television. The disputes take place in teams of three against three, requiring quick reflexes and mastery of assists, which consolidated the title in the main electronic sports tournaments in the world. For newcomers, Bandai Namco has included a solo campaign with adjustable difficulty and an original story.

During the month of April 2026, the cast received a major reinforcement based on the Dragon Ball Daima animation, bringing a variant of Goku transformed into Super Saiyan 4. This specific version of the hero brings back the classic look with pink fur covering the chest, voluminous dark hair and the traditional monkey tail, offering a set of movements focused on aggression.

Those interested in Dragon Ball FighterZ pay R$299.90 for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions. For the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Nintendo Switch consoles, the listed price is R$339.90, while the computer edition costs R$232.50 on Steam.

Time travel and deep customization in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

Mixing RPG elements with massive online game mechanics, the creation of Dimps Corporation puts the player in the role of a temporal ranger tasked with preventing changes to the official history of the franchise. The great attraction of the software published by Bandai Namco is the robust avatar creation system, which allows you to define race, body type, costumes, special techniques and exclusive transformations. The central city serves as a meeting point, where groups of up to six people can come together to face gigantic bosses in cooperative missions.

The longevity of the project is impressive, with the arrival of Chapter 4 of the Future Saga on July 8, 2026, bringing more clothes, side missions and ultimate attacks to the game’s virtual store. All of this ongoing support sets the stage for the conclusion of the current arc, as the producer has confirmed the release of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 for 2027, with versions guaranteed for PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC. Until the sequel gets a definitive date, the second chapter remains one of the richest experiences in the catalog.

Purchasing Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 requires an investment of R$104.90 on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 systems. On the Xbox Series

Collecting and tactics define the pace of Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission

Adapting a Japanese arcade phenomenon for the domestic market, this title moves away from real-time action to focus on logical reasoning and deck building. Developed by a partnership between Dimps Corporation and Safari Games, the plot follows a boy addicted to the card game of the same name who sees his city being invaded by villains straight out of arcade machines. To save the real world, the protagonist needs to summon the Z Warriors through his cards, positioning the units on a virtual board to optimize damage and defense.

Sold digitally for computers only, Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission can be purchased on Steam for R$199.90. There is an adaptation for the Nintendo Switch, but it was removed from Nintendo’s online store, forcing collectors to look for physical copies on the used market.

Puzzle mechanics dominate the screen in Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle

Focused on the mobile device market, the work of the Akatsuki studio transforms the frantic battles of the anime into a strategic color matching system, similar to classic casual puzzles. The narrative retells the events of the Z series, starting with the invasion of the Saiyan Raditz, using static panels that resemble the reading of a comic book. When fighting, the user needs to connect energy spheres of the same tone to the touch screen; the larger the current formed, the stronger the special attack delivered by the selected character.

The Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle application operates in a free format for download on Android and iPhone (iOS) cell phones, supporting
