Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2 - Ultra Pack Set (DLC)

Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2 is a third-person arena fighter with an MMO-lite hub called Conton City, where you make a custom character, grind for skills, and replay altered Dragon Ball story beats as a time-patrol agent. The Ultra Pack Set is a two-pack DLC bundle that layers additional fighters, super skills, and parallel quest content on top of the base game. If you have not touched Xenoverse 2 yet, you need the base game first. This is pure expansion content, not a standalone product. For a shooter specialist reviewing a fighting game, here is my honest read: Xenoverse 2 is not a traditional fighter. It is closer to an action RPG with combo strings than it is to FighterZ or Budokai. The combat runs on stamina management, ki charging, vanishing counters, and super armor on ultimate moves. Time-to-kill in PvP is slippery and often decided by who loaded better skills rather than who has sharper reactions. The netcode is serviceable for casual play but it will frustrate anyone used to rollback. Input delay exists. You will feel it. What the Ultra Pack Set specifically adds is more characters to that skill-grinding ecosystem. New fighters bring new movesets and, more importantly, new skills that you can eventually transfer to your custom character through the in-game skill shop. That is the real hook here. You are not buying these packs for competitive PvP depth. You are buying them to chase a specific finishing move you watched in the anime and want to spam online. The parallel quests bundled in are competent filler, worth running for drops but not narratively interesting. The performance side on PC is fine. The game runs well, frame pacing is stable, and Conton City's loading is fast enough that grinding sessions do not feel punishing. The codebase from QLOC is solid. Online lobbies in the hub still have active population years after release, which is genuinely impressive for a game in this genre. You will find raid events, PvP queues, and co-op expert missions populated without long waits during peak hours. Where this DLC loses points is value clarity. The Ultra Pack Set bundles two packs and the character additions feel thin if you are not already deep in the game's roster rabbit hole. If you played through the first wave of DLC and burned out, these packs will not re-ignite anything. The story framing around the new missions is minimal. You are here for the characters and the skill unlocks, full stop. Anyone expecting meaningful new mechanics or a reason to re-engage with the game's structure will be disappointed. Bottom line for who should buy this: active Xenoverse 2 players who want more roster options and skill variety for their custom character build. Lapsed players considering a return, it is a thinner reason to come back than a major content update would be. New players, start with the base game and one of the larger early DLC packs before committing to this one. Fred, Scout Team
