Dragon Ball Sparking Zero’s “insane” player count eclipses Street Fighter, Tekken, more

As a hardcore Dragon Ball fan and avid gamer, I can confidently say that the arrival of Dragon Ball Sparking Zero has been nothing short of a revolution in the gaming world. With its captivating graphics, immersive gameplay, and an extensive roster of characters, it’s no wonder that this early access game has overshadowed the likes of Tekken, Street Fighter, and Mortal Kombat in terms of player count.


Even though it’s still in an early stage as a new release, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero has managed to surpass the maximum number of players that established fighting game series typically attract.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero revives the cherished Budokai Tenkaichi series after a ten-year absence, and based on early observations, Bandai Namco made a wise decision in bringing it back. With an extensive collection of playable characters to unlock and multiple branching storylines, our ongoing review is brimming with praiseworthy points.

As someone who’s been eagerly anticipating this game, I can say that all the pre-release details hinted at something extraordinary. But now, with the game finally live in early access, we have tangible evidence to back up those initial impressions.

Multitudes of Dragon Ball Sparking Zero enthusiasts have been attracted to the game, only to find themselves defeated by Great Ape Vegeta. In this early access phase, the player numbers have surged past fighting game heavyweights such as Tekken, Street Fighter, and Mortal Kombat legends.

How many people are playing Dragon Ball Sparking Zero?

As a passionate Dragon Ball fan, I’m thrilled to share that at this very moment, the Dragon Ball Sparking Zero game has managed to gather an impressive 91,005 concurrent players on Steam. Wow!

Even though Dragon Ball Sparking Zero was just released in a three-day early access phase for those who bought the Deluxe or Ultimate versions of the game, it’s quickly climbing its way up to become the second most-played fighting game ever on this platform.

Among all fighting games, MultiVersus remains unsurpassed in popularity, as it uniquely unites universes such as Batman, Game of Thrones, and Adventure Time for a combat experience like no other.

To provide a brief overview, let’s take a glance at some of the top-tier fighting games available on Steam and their performance:

  • Street Fighter 6: 70,573 all-time concurrent peak
  • Tekken 8: 49,977 all-time concurrent peak
  • Mortal Kombat 1: 38,129 all-time concurrent peak

On October 11, Sparking Zero is officially launched, and with buzz growing through word-of-mouth, it won’t be long until we find out if it can reach unprecedented heights among PC fighting games.

It’s obviously worth bearing in mind the only concrete figures we have to go off are for those playing on Steam. Historically, fighting games are often at home on consoles with arcade gamepads at the ready.

It’s reasonable to anticipate a larger number of gamers on both Xbox and PlayStation platforms, but we’ll have to wait for Bandai Namco to disclose their sales data to find out the exact player count.

Currently, Sparking Zero is showing great success with its publisher, and we anticipate that its sales figures will increase further as more people access the complete edition. Rest assured, we’ll keep you posted on this platform once new highs in player numbers are reached.
