• Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero: Is crossplay and cross-save available?

The launch of Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is poised to evoke nostalgia for fans who cherished the earlier entries in the Budokai Tenkaichi series. This latest installment acts as a spiritual continuation of those classic games, bringing back many beloved elements from the franchise.

One of the most frequently asked questions among enthusiasts is whether Sparking! Zero supports local multiplayer. In this article, we’ll provide clarity on that topic, so you can know what to expect.

Is local multiplayer available with split-screen?

Great news: Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero does support local multiplayer for two players in split-screen mode. This allows two friends to team up on the same console or PC for some friendly competition.

However, it’s worth mentioning that the initial version of the game has some restrictions. Here are the main details:

• Only 1 vs 1 matches are available in the regular combat mode.
• Local multiplayer cannot be utilized in global tournaments or modes like story mode or other extra battles.
• Players can only engage in battles on one stage: the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Sadly, no other locations are accessible for local multiplayer, meaning you won’t be able to fight in iconic settings from the series, such as Planet Namek or the Cell Games Arena, which are available in single-player or online modes.

At this time, we don’t have information on whether future updates will introduce more maps for local multiplayer. Nevertheless, for those wanting to relive those local combat experiences, you can still do so, albeit limited to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

How to engage in local multiplayer matches

If you’re unsure how to set up local play in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, follow these simple steps:

• Launch the game and go to the main menu, selecting “Combat and Training.”
• Choose the “Combat” option in this section.
• Select “Offline.”
• Finally, pick “Player 1 vs Player 2.”

Once you’re in, you and your friend can customize various battle settings, including rules and time limits. Each player can then choose their team of up to five characters and kick off the match.
