Before arriving on the Nintendo Switch in September, Dragon Ball FighterZ was released on multiple other platforms at the start of the year. Bandai Namco has since worked on bolstering the fighting roster by adding in DLC characters such as Cooler and Android 17.
Shortly after the initial launch, Bamco revealed the game had hit two million shipments and digital sales worldwide. According to the title's official Japanese Twitter account, figures have now exceeded the 3.5 million mark.
It's not clarified how much the Switch release has contributed to overall sales, but we're guessing it's done relatively well being the only portable version of the game available. It must have sold to some extent, as Bandai Namco followed up the release of FighterZ on Switch with the announcement the card game Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission would be making its way to Nintendo's platform in 2019.

IT'S OVER 9000!
I have this on the Switch and it is simple amazing. Visually stunning, the audio is fantastic, and presentation is first class. Really takes you through the modes and training to teach you all you need to know for new comers like myself to the series. Can't recommend it highly enough. Also it is the strongest visuals yet seen on the Switch.
Same here. Neither familiar with the series nor a fighting veteran, but this was so enticing that I had to get it. The overall presentation combined with the tight controls and flawless frame rate is so satisfying!
Best fighting game on the Switch.
I've got a buddy of mine who does quite like it.
@EasyDaRon how can you say that when Smash Ultimate isn't even out?
Funny, I spent all year telling myself £40 was too much to spend on a Dragonball Z fighting game and yet the second it dropped on Switch I spent £50 on the eShop version like it was nothing!
@Heavyarms55 maybe people have already played Ultimate at events etc. and besides, it isn't like the Smash formula has changed much in the past 20 years. If you didn't like Smash the first four times, it's unlikely Ultimate is going to change anyones mind.
I nearly bought it. Might pick it up in a sale
I held out from buying it on other platforms as I wanted it switch.. best fighting game I've played which allows newcomers to get involved but with all the depth and nuances of other fighting games. Highly recommended imo.
Well deserved sales
Never ever doubt the Switch, though performance is a iffy in handheld mode during cutscenes, the actual fighting gameplay are fun and smooth.
I have both the PS4 and Switch versions. I’ve inspired onlookers to buy a Switch when I take this out to dinner. Random people have come up to me like “Dude... I saw you playing this last week and I ran out the next day to buy a Switch just to play that. Thanks man, it’s awesome!”
It's over 8000!
