Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero was released on October 11, 2024 with 182 characters in its starting roster. As it turns out, the game has been incredibly successful in the short window of its release.
According to Bandai Namco, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero was able to achieve over 3 million sales worldwide within just 24 hours. Needless to say, Dragon Ball: Sparking series looks like it will have quite the future.
For comparisons sake, it took about seven months for Street Fighter 6 to report 3 million sales after it was released. Meanwhile, Mortal Kombat 1 reportedly hit almost 3 million sales in a month and three weeks.
Of course, we’ve already been seeing signs of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s massive success. We recently took notice of the fact that Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero had surpassed every other fighting game (except MultiVersus) in terms of peak concurrent players on Steam.
Upon the game’s full release, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero was able to achieve 122,554 concurrent players as its peak according to SteamDB. This is nearly triple the numbers that Dragon Ball FighterZ was able to achieve throughout its lifetime.
With this success in mind, this means that Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero will likely receive tons of post-launch support from the developers. We also probably won’t have to wait another 17 years for a sequel or follow up within the series.
Just how much will Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero sale throughout its lifetime? We’ll just have to keep watching to find out.
