Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Collector's Edition Had More Content in North America

Retailer listings for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 in July 2016 revealed the contents of the game’s Collector’s Edition, highlighting a notable difference between the packages offered in North America and Europe. While both regions were set to receive a premium version of the game, players in North America were offered a more comprehensive bundle that included two additional items, making it a more attractive option for dedicated collectors.

North American Collector’s Edition Contents

The North American version of the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Collector’s Edition, listed for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, was a substantial package. The centerpiece of the bundle was a 13-inch Son Goku Master Stars Piece figure, a large and detailed collectible representing the series’ iconic protagonist. This type of figure is known for its quality and size, making it a significant inclusion for fans.

Alongside the statue, the bundle contained a physical disc copy of the game housed in an exclusive SteelBook case. The addition of a SteelBook is often a major draw for physical media collectors, providing premium and durable packaging with unique artwork. The edition also included a physical copy of the official music soundtrack, allowing fans to listen to the game’s score outside of gameplay. Finally, the set came with a “Time Patroller’s Guide,” described as an art book or lore guide, all contained within a large collector’s box designed to store all the components.

Here is a full breakdown of the North American contents:

• A physical copy of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
• 13-inch Son Goku Master Stars figure
• Exclusive SteelBook case
• Official music soundtrack
• Time Patroller’s Guide
• Collector’s box

European Edition and Regional Differences

The European Collector’s Edition shared some core items with its North American counterpart but was ultimately a smaller package. It included the same physical copy of the game, the impressive 13-inch Son Goku figure, the Time Patroller’s Guide, and the collector’s box. However, it notably omitted the SteelBook case and the official music soundtrack.

This discrepancy meant that European fans who wanted the complete collector’s experience, including the premium case and the soundtrack, would not find them in their local special edition. The two missing items were significant enough to create a value difference between the regional releases. For collectors, items like a SteelBook and a physical soundtrack are often key reasons to invest in a premium edition, making the North American version the more complete offering at the time of its announcement.

Release Schedule

Bandai Namco also confirmed a staggered release schedule for the game. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 was slated to launch first in North America on October 25, 2016, for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The European release for consoles was scheduled to follow three days later, on October 28, 2016. The PC version of the game was set for a global release on October 28 as well, aligning with the European console launch.
