Spike Chunsoft’s game, Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, is set to release on October 11th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. However, even in its pre-release stage, it has become a significant success. As of now, on Steam alone, there have been over 122,000 players playing simultaneously, which is more than major fighting games like Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8.
The action-packed game, “Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO,” is now available on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PCs globally. At the moment of writing, it has attracted more than 122,000 players simultaneously on Steam, establishing a new benchmark for both Dragon Ball games and fighting games on this platform. Critics have praised its gameplay, graphics, extensive character roster, and faithful representation of the Dragon Ball universe.
The highly anticipated RPG from the masterminds behind Persona was bound to be successful, but surprisingly, ReFantazio has outperformed even Atlus and Sega’s expectations. Upon its launch a week ago, the fantasy RPG quickly attracted over 61,000 simultaneous players on Steam, and that number keeps climbing over the weekend.
It’s undeniable that digital media offers numerous benefits, but it’s also evident over time that it carries considerable disadvantages that can’t be overlooked. One of the most notable drawbacks is the blurring of ownership rights. For instance, when you buy a game at full price digitally, you don’t truly own it as publishers retain ultimate control and the power to cancel your license for the purchase. Recently, this issue has become more transparent to users on major platforms.
Despite facing skepticism and criticism from some quarters due to its price, the upcoming PS5 Pro is generating substantial interest among PlayStation fans. Preliminary sales figures suggest this enthusiasm may translate into solid demand upon its release next month.
The game “Dynasty Warriors: Origins” deviates from the open-ended style of “Dynasty Warriors 9,” instead focusing more on tactical action and returning to its roots, but it won’t skimp on grandeur. In terms of battle scale, Koei Tecmo and Omega Force’s action series is renowned for featuring numerous enemies simultaneously, and according to series producer Tomkohiko Sho, the impressive scale that “Origins” delivers in this area is only achievable due to current-generation hardware.
