Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Digital File Sizes
Previous file size leaks forSparking Zerosuggested that the game would be roughly 80 GB on Xbox, or even at least over 100 GB, based on some early promotional boxes that were present in stores around September 2024. For comparison’s sake,Dragon Ball Z Kakarot’s file size was a little over 40 GB of storage, which made sense considering it was an open-world adventure game. Another game with similar mechanics toSparking Zero,Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, is roughly 20 GB.
