The Dragon Ball franchise is possibly one of the most iconic names when it comes to the world of manga, anime, and video games. Since its inception in the 1980s, we have seen many manga, anime, and video game adaptations. Continuing this legacy is Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is a newly announced game that is set to release on October 11, 2024. Now, if you’re a fan of Dragon Ball and planning to play it on PC, Xbox, or PlayStation, one of the key considerations is storage space, especially if your system’s storage devices are already filled with other games. So, here’s everything you need to know about the game size of Dragon Ball Sparking Zero on PC, Xbox, and PS.
The game will be available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, but interestingly, it won’t be released for the Nintendo Switch this time. Anyway, you might wonder why we’re discussing the game’s size on different platforms. After all, the game size should generally be consistent across systems, right? Well, while that’s often the case for most titles, things look to be a bit different when it comes to Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO. Keep reading till the end to find out.
DRAGON BALL: Sparking ZERO game size on PC, Xbox & PS5
Here is the key thing to remember: Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO will probably have different storage requirements across different platforms. We have discussed all of it below. Check it out!
PC Size
For PC players, the Steam store page has already provided some crucial information. According to the page, the game will require up to 29 GB of storage space. This figure likely represents the initial install size, which will surely increase after installation, along with updates, patches, or downloadable content over time. But for now, 29 GB is the minimum expected size for the PC version. So, for those playing on Windows, this is the amount of space you’ll need to free up in your storage.
Console Size
When it comes to consoles, however, things are not as straightforward. While both the Xbox Store and PlayStation Store don’t currently list the game’s size, there are some insights we’ve gathered from the community. On Reddit, images of a retail box for the PlayStation version of the game have been circulating. According to the box, the game is estimated to take up between 65 GB and 100 GB of space on PlayStation consoles. While there’s no direct information about the size for Xbox, it’s safe to assume that the game’s size on Xbox Series X/S will be quite similar to the PlayStation version, likely falling within the same 65-100 GB range.
To summarize, here’s a quick look at the estimated storage size for Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO on different platforms:
- PC: Approximately 29 GB+
- PlayStation: 65-100 GB (as indicated by leaked retail box info)
- Xbox: Estimated to be 65-100 GB, though no official confirmation is available yet.
Why the size difference?
One possible explanation for this discrepancy in storage size between PC and consoles could be the way by which consoles handle downloads and installations. Unlike PCs, consoles typically require players to have double the install size available because the process involves downloading the game, then unpacking and installing it, before deleting the downloaded data. This method means the game could appear larger on consoles, as they need more temporary storage space during the installation process.
And that is all the information we have for now. We hope you now have an idea about the storage space required to play the game when it gets released later this year.
