A Guide to Unlocking Every Character in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

Xenoverse 2 is reputed for having fairly easy battles for players to play, but sometimes, your opponents might turn out to be tougher than you had expected.

If the punches you are landing barely scratch the mighty Frieza or terrifying Mira, it’s high time to start using other playable characters from your roster. However, to use the playable characters, you need to unlock them first.

Most of the free playable characters in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 can be unlocked by completing the story mode of the game, wishing to Shenron, and finishing the Parallel Quests with an Ultimate Finish. Meanwhile, other characters can be unlocked by purchasing DLCs. 

Here’s how you can unlock every character that exists in Xenoverse 2. 

1. Characters unlocked through Story Mode

After finishing every mission in a particular saga of story mode, you will unlock certain characters. Check out what missions you must complete to chronologically unlock all the story mode characters.
