Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Ps5: There seems to be an increasing amount of new-gen updates for PS4/Xbox One games, albeit the degree to which individual games make use of the system’s capabilities and the price at which they may be purchased can vary greatly. I’ll let you guess which of these titles was made available to existing players at no cost and which was made available to new players only by purchasing a new copy; other games, like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, represent a significant revamp with substantial facelifts and functional upgrades on top.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Ps5
To fill this void, there is Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. The new-gen update for CyberConnect2‘s generally well-received RPG based on the beloved Dragon Ball Z story, which was released today on PS5 and is currently delayed for Xbox Series X|S but coming soon, adds a boost in visual quality on top of improved performance and costs nothing extra for existing owners.

When Kakarot initially came out in 2020, I only played it a little bit, but I’ve been intending to go back to it ever since. For someone who spent their childhood mornings watching Dragon Ball Z on Cheez TV (after having to sit through Aerobics Oz Style because they were too excited to turn on the TV), this is the first Dragon Ball video game in which they have shown true interest.
It’s also really fantastic, making effective use of the source material and evoking the series’ tone while providing a genuinely enjoyable pseudo-open world JRPG with an exciting action battle system that reminds me of the Budokai Tenkaichi titles I used to play on the PS2.
Thanks to an early access code provided by our friends at Bandai Namco, I finally had a reason to dive back into the game on PS5, and I’m happy to report that it’s not only just as much fun as I remembered it being, but also looks and plays far better. First of all, the framerate has been increased to 60 frames per second from 30 on the previous generation of consoles while using the new Performance visual mode.
Rapid-fire arena fighter-style combat in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot looks stunning in motion and, it goes without saying, benefits greatly from the improved fluidity and reactivity. Interestingly, the “Quality” setting remains at 30 frames per second, but when I tried switching back and forth between the two (unfortunately, you can’t do so mid-game), I couldn’t tell the difference between them, save for a slight loss of clarity in the Performance mode.

CyberConnect2 has redesigned a lot of the graphic assets and effects in this version of the game to take advantage of the more capable hardware, so the improvements aren’t limited to fidelity or performance. The improvement in lighting is immediately noticeable, making the game’s landscapes look much more lively thanks to the sun’s richer and warmer light, improved shadows, and expanded effect draw distances.
Improvements have been made to all aspects of the game’s visual presentation, including foliage, tree count, environment geometry and texture detail, and even character models. The overall appearance has been drastically altered, while some of the world’s base ground textures still look a little flat in places where there isn’t a lot of grass coverage. I lost my PS4 save the file, so I can’t compare the two versions directly, but this developer screen says it all:
When it comes to my time with Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot on the PS5, I feel like the only thing that’s been missing is the ability to make use of DualSense. It would have been wonderful to feel Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, and the rest of the cast powering up their attacks using haptic feedback, or to sense the pulse of a well-placed Kamehameha or Big Bang Attack in the adaptable triggers.

Not having DualSense support isn’t the end of the world, but it does feel like a missed opportunity at a time when most PS5 updates include DualSense support in some form. To be fair, the upgrade is still worthwhile for trophy seekers because it adds save transfers and a second trophy list that will auto-populate with whatever you’ve already unlocked.

Though I haven’t had a chance to dive headfirst into the game’s newest expansion, -Bardock- Alone Against Fate, which was released alongside the new-gen upgrade as a separate purchase, I’m looking forward to doing so as soon as I can. In the end, though, I’ve had a great time replaying Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and the game’s new-gen improvement is perfect in every way, being both big and not requiring a second purchase.
