Summary

  • Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero launched to critical acclaim but lacks cross-play & split-screen on all maps.
  • Players can now enjoy split-screen on any multiplayer map through a new mod created by Sora101Ven.
  • The mod requires additional steps to install and is currently only available on PC, leaving console players out of luck.

It's been a blockbuster week for the newly released Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. The Bandai Namco published title launched to high critical acclaim and broke multiple records on Steam.

But, while players are loving the game, even if they do think it is "way too hard", it did launch without a couple of key features — crossplay and a split-screen mode on all maps.

Fingers crossed that it's not just the name of the first Daima or Super: Super Hero pack.

Adding crossplay has proven an issue for the developers, but thankfully, thanks to some enterprising players, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero can now be played split-screen on any multiplayer map.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero's New Split-Screen Option

Alongside cross-platform play, split-screen multiplayer across all maps has been one of the most requested features for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero.

Up to this point, Sparking Zero did have split-screen, but it only worked on the Hyperbolic Time Chamber map. Now, a new mod created by Sora101Ven has been shared, allowing players to live out their split-screen dreams anywhere they wish.

The mod was posted on Nexus Mods and allows players to play Sparking Zero's multiplayer the old-school way, with both players sharing a portion of the display. And, although split-screen is most effective in multiplayer, Sora101Ven has said that "you can also enjoy this mod for Story Mode."

Unfortunately, however, the 'Let's Fight Somewhere Else' mod is currently only available on PC and requires a couple of extra steps to install.

On the official mod page, Sora101Ven says, "This mod currently requires UE4SS and the UTOC Signature Bypass to load in," before sharing the links here and here.

Ahead of pre-orders, Sparking Zero was the top-selling game on Steam, so a large portion of players will be able to take advantage of the new addition, but sadly, both PlayStation and Xbox players aren't so lucky.
