Next-Gen Evolution: Dragon Ball FighterZ Unleashes Rollback Netcode
Excitement is brewing among Dragon Ball FighterZ fans as Bandai Namco and Arc System Works have officially announced the forthcoming launch of the game on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, complete with a game-changing implementation: rollback netcode.
This highly anticipated upgrade is not just limited to the next-gen consoles. PC players will also receive this long-awaited improvement, enhancing the online multiplayer experience across platforms.
What’s even more thrilling for current owners of the game is the promise of a seamless transition. Players who currently possess the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One versions will be eligible for a free upgrade to the respective PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series version.
The producer of Dragon Ball FighterZ, Tomoko Hiroki, confirmed during an appearance at EVO 2022 that this upcoming update will mark the final chapter for the game. Hiroki mentioned, ‘With the latest update released a few weeks ago, we believe Dragon Ball FighterZ has been tuned to its finest, so there are no future plans for new characters or balance adjustments. But we have decided to implement rollback netcode to Dragon Ball FighterZ.’
The team behind the game has been diligently refining the rollback system’s implementation and ensuring compatibility with the latest consoles and PC. While the PlayStation 4 version will be part of the upgrade program, Xbox One users can benefit from Smart Delivery, simplifying the transition process.
Moreover, PC players can expect an update that grants them the choice between the existing delay-based netcode and the new rollback system. However, higher recommended specifications are anticipated for the rollback netcode system.
While the rollout of this enhancement will take some time, the Dragon Ball FighterZ team remains committed to delivering an enhanced and thrilling experience to its dedicated fanbase.
Stay tuned for further announcements and details on this highly anticipated update as the team continues to work on implementing the system. Until then, fans are encouraged to stay engaged and continue supporting Dragon Ball FighterZ, eagerly awaiting the arrival of this transformative update.
