The high-energy fighting game has become the best-selling Dragon Ball title ever released in the United States, marking a significant milestone for both the franchise and its developer, Bandai Namco Entertainment.
According to video game industry analyst Mat Piscatella, who shared insights on Bluesky, Sparking Zero now ranks third among all Bandai Namco titles in terms of lifetime sales. Only Elden Ring and Dark Souls III have outperformed it.
A Meteoric Rise in 2024’s Game Charts
Beyond the Dragon Ball franchise, Sparking Zero has made waves in the broader gaming market. Piscatella’s data reveals that the game has already secured a spot in the top 20 best-selling games of 2024 in the U.S., surpassing heavy hitters like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Tekken 8. This rapid rise highlights the game’s widespread appeal and strong fanbase.
Released on October 11, the game sold three million copies in the first 24 hours. In the latest financial reports, the publisher revealed that 90% of the game’s total sales were from players in Europe and North America. This represents a significant success for a franchise that is predominantly popular in the Japanese market.
