On 11/12/2020, Sony’s 5th console, the PlayStation 5, was released, entering the ninth generation of consoles, where physical game media is becoming obsolete, online features dominate, and we leap into 4K and 8K gaming.
This console is backward compatible with all Dragon Ball titles released for its predecessor, the PS4, but regardless of this, it has received its own versions of some of those games and exclusive titles, such as Sparking! Zero, which was not released on PS4.
Discover here all the games released for PS5, their DLCs, Season Passes, all the PS5 editions launched, as well as their accessories to enjoy all Dragon Ball games.
Here is the complete list of all Dragon Ball titles released for PS5.
This list does not include PS4 games, but remember that all of them are backward compatible, and some are even “upgradable to PS5”.
This means that, for example, DBZ Kakarot was originally released for PS4, with graphics and FPS adapted to that console. Although it was compatible with PS5, years later the official PS5 version was released, featuring enhanced graphics, higher resolution, and improved FPS.
However, this does not require you to buy the new version: if you already own the PS4 version and install it on your PS5, you can access the enhanced version without purchasing the game again, keeping your save files and DLCs.

Since its launch in 2020, the PlayStation 5 has received various versions that maintain the same technical foundation while improving in design, power efficiency, and size.
Today, there are the two original versions —with disc drive and digital—, the two Slim versions, which are more compact and efficient, and the PS5 Pro, which takes performance a step further with enhanced graphics and processing power.
All versions are fully compatible with each other in terms of games and downloadable content, so any title, including Dragon Ball games, can be enjoyed the same way on any model.
Here’s the list of all models
You may already have at home a console from when you were younger, or you may have inherited it from a friend or family member, or perhaps you bought it second-hand, but… you’re still missing some accessory or peripheral to be able to play with it, like an adapter or a controller…
So here’s a list of the things you might need to play your console.

Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butōden is the last DB game released for the Nintendo DS platform. It’s a fighting game that was only released in Japan and allows players to battle against others.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is the console intended to replace the Switch 1, and it was released in summer 2025.
With a 7.9-inch display at 1080p and 120Hz, it greatly improves in size and quality compared to its predecessor. Its processor, sound, storage, and connectivity are improved in every aspect. Additionally, this console includes voice chat functionality and an extra USB-C port on top for accessories like the official camera.
The console is backward compatible with almost all Switch 1 games, allowing us to play all its Dragon Ball games.
Another novelty is the Joy-Con 2, which are new, larger controllers that connect magnetically and feature a "C" button for quick access to GameChat.
Also, the Joy-Cons, Pro Controller, and Hori Split Pad Pro from the Switch are compatible with the 2, but only wirelessly, as their physical connection slots differ.
Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission is a card game for the 3DS that recreates the arcade game Dragon Ball Heroes. In story mode, players can explore all the sagas of DBZ and GT.
The PS Vita (PCH-1000) is the first version of this console and was designed to replace the different PSP models with graphical improvements, a better screen, and new features compared to the PSP. This console was backward compatible with PSP and PS1 games, allows internet connection, and supports game installation from the cloud.
Dragon Ball: The Breakers is a survival multiplayer game, whose genre is called "Asymmetrical Survival Multiplayer (1 Raider vs. 7 Survivors)", in this case it will always be 1 vs 7.
The Raider or Hunter aims to eliminate all Survivors or Prey, while the latter must hide around the map, use items and vehicles to survive the hunter or raider.
In this case, being a Dragon Ball game, the hunters are represented by Dragon Ball villains like Cell, Frieza, or Majin Buu, who evolve and change form (e.g., Cell 1st form becomes Cell 2nd form and then reaches his final or perfect form) as the match progresses.
The survivors or prey must play as a team to survive. They can choose from some DB characters and original ones from the game. Their goal is to activate "the time machine" and escape, as many as can make it.
The game, besides PS4, is also available on: PC, PS5, Xbox One/Series, and Nintendo Switch.
DBZ: Collectible Card Game is a card game released exclusively in North America. The game features a story mode that spans from the Saiyan Saga to the Cell Games Tournament. It allows players to play and trade cards with others.
Dragon Ball Z: Super Gokūden 2 - Kakusei-Hen is the seventh Dragon Ball Z game released for the Super Nintendo and Super Famicom, although it never had official versions in Europe or America, so it only came out for the SFC. It is also the second RPG adventure game released for this console in 1996.
This is the direct sequel to DBZ: Super Gokūden 1, whose story mode covers all of Dragon Ball with kid Goku, and this one starts right at the beginning of DBZ, with Raditz’s arrival and ends with Frieza’s defeat.
Its gameplay is the same as the previous one: it is narrative-focused with action or event moments, where players must make decisions or press buttons to fight, since battles are semi-automatic, requiring timed inputs. It feels like watching Dragon Ball Z interactively, similar to a graphic adventure.
Players will control Goku, kid Gohan, Piccolo, and other characters depending on the story arc being played.
