Should You Install Version 1.0.31 in 2026?

Short answer: No.

Important: This update assumes you already have the Goku’s Next Journey DLC installed. If you don’t, the patch will still download but may not activate all its fixes.

• Crash Fix: Resolved a crash that occurred when transforming into Super Saiyan 3 during the "Frieza's Wrath" sub-story.
• Visual Glitch: Fixed a bug where Goku's hair texture would clip through the "King Kai's Gi" costume during cutscenes.
• Side Quest Correction: Adjusted the trigger condition for "The Wanderin' Martial Artist" – no longer requires a specific community board level to initiate.
• Loading Times: Optimized streaming assets on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X to reduce hitching when flying between map sectors.

• Processor: x86-64 AMD Jaguar 8-core
• Memory: 8 GB GDDR5 RAM
• Graphics: AMD Radeon Graphics Core Next engine
• Storage: 20 GB available space
