Future Saga Chapter 4 for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is already out: it released on 8 July 2026, with Steam listing it from 7 July, and Bandai Namco has confirmed it is the final DLC for the game. It adds two playable characters, the last Future Saga Extra Missions arc, a high difficulty mode called Ultra Time Patrol Battles and six costumes and accessories, and it arrived alongside a free update that raised the level cap to 199. Here is the full timeline, what the pack contains and how to start it.
We checked this against the Steam store page for Chapter 4, Gematsu's and Nintendo Everything's announcement coverage, RPG Site's launch report, MP1st's patch coverage, the fan wiki's DLC and Free Update pages and Bandai Namco's 10th anniversary announcement in November 2026.
When Future Saga Chapter 4 Released
The pack went from reveal to release in under three months:
- 19 April 2026: Bandai Namco revealed Chapter 4 with a teaser during Dragon Ball Power Hour and said it would be the final DLC for Xenoverse 2, almost ten years after launch, per Nintendo Everything.
- 3 July 2026: Gematsu reported the release date as 8 July, with the two new characters teased for reveal on 6 and 7 July.
- 7 July 2026: Steam lists the pack's release date as 7 July, and MP1st covered the matching patch going out that day.
- 8 July 2026: RPG Site reported the DLC "out today", and the fan wiki records the release on that date.
We could not find an official explanation for the one day gap between Steam and the other listings; it may simply be a time zone difference. Either way, the answer to "when does it come out" is that it has been available since July 2026 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC through Steam, according to RPG Site.
What Chapter 4 Adds
The Steam store page lists the full contents:
- Two playable characters: Goku (Ultra Supervillain Quelled) and Supreme Kai of Time (Ultra Supervillain).
- One Extra Mission in which the new characters take active roles.
- Two Parallel Quests.
- One high difficulty quest, Ultra Time Patrol Battles, featuring many classic characters.
- Four new moves, including one Awoken Skill. The fan wiki names them as Dragon Spiral, Indomitable, Venus Fist and The Power to Overcome.
- Six costumes and accessories, four Super Souls, eight loading screen illustrations and one stage.
- Gallery of Time, a gallery feature holding more than 1,000 loading screen illustrations and Time Patrol movies.
Some outlets used different names for the new forms in early coverage; MP1st's patch report, for instance, called them Goku (Ultra Superhero) and Chronoa (Ultra Supervillain). The store page names above are the official ones. MP1st also notes that the eight new illustrations are earned by beating Ultra Time Patrol Battles, and that the new Super Souls come mainly from the two Parallel Quests. Steam adds the usual caveat that some contents are obtained by clearing conditions in the game, so not everything appears the moment you install it.
Chapter 4 Costumes and Accessories
Costumes are one of the most searched parts of this DLC, so it is worth being precise about what is confirmed. The Steam page lists six costumes and accessories but does not name them. MP1st describes them as a mix of full outfits and individual accessories inspired by the final transformations from the Future Saga's climax.
Two related changes arrived at the same time and are easy to confuse with the DLC's own costumes:
- Story costumes for custom partners. MP1st reports that the July 2026 update lets you apply original story mode costumes to custom partners.
- Festival outfits. The 6th Festival of Universes, which started on 13 July 2026 just after Chapter 4, put Fu's Clothes (Custom) and Zamasu's Clothes (Custom) on its Glory Point ladder. Those came from the festival, not the DLC.
The 10th anniversary update of 27 October 2026 then added more special costumes for everyone. For a full picture of where clothing comes from, see our Xenoverse 2 outfits guide.
The Free Update That Came With It
As with earlier chapters, the paid pack shipped next to a free patch for every player. MP1st lists it as update 1.52 (1.005 on current generation consoles), and the fan wiki records it as Free Update 22 on 8 July 2026. Its biggest change was raising the level cap from 180 to 199. The wiki lists that cap change under the free update rather than the DLC, and our level cap guide walks through how to unlock it.
Chapter 4 also matters for the later anniversary content. Bandai Namco's October announcement says the 27 October update includes an update to the Gallery of Time that requires the Future Saga Chapter 4 DLC; it names no DLC requirement for the new login rewards or special costumes in the same update.
The Four Future Saga Chapters at a Glance
Chapter 4 closes an arc that ran for more than two years, and knowing what came before helps when you jump into the final Extra Missions. The fan wiki's DLC page lists each chapter's release and characters:
- Chapter 1 (24 May 2024): the largest pack, with five playable characters: Android 18 (DB Super), Videl (DB Super), Broly (Restrained), Vegeta (Super Saiyan God) Ultra Supervillain and Goku Black (Super Saiyan Rose) Ultra Supervillain, plus three Extra Missions. The wiki notes it was the first pack in the game's history with five characters.
- Chapter 2 (21 November 2024): God of Destruction Belmod, Jiren (Full Power) Ultra Supervillain and Goku (Mini), with one Extra Mission.
- Chapter 3 (30 October 2025): Broly (DB Super) and Golden Frieza (Ultra Supervillain), one Extra Mission, the Cheelai and Broly side scenario and the Conton City Ruins stage.
- Chapter 4 (July 2026): Goku (Ultra Supervillain Quelled) and Supreme Kai of Time (Ultra Supervillain), the final Extra Missions arc and Ultra Time Patrol Battles.
Each chapter shipped next to a free update, and three of those updates raised the level cap: the 24 May 2024 patch took it to 140, the November 2024 patch to 160 and the October 2025 patch to 180, before the July 2026 patch finished the climb at 199.
Ultra Time Patrol Battles deserves a special mention because it is the pack's endgame. Steam describes it as a high difficulty quest featuring many classic characters, and MP1st reports that it sends waves of classic fighters at you and unlocks the pack's eight loading screen illustrations. The Gallery of Time is the companion feature: a viewer for more than 1,000 loading screen illustrations and Time Patrol movies collected over the game's life, and the part of the October anniversary update that needs Chapter 4.
How to Start Chapter 4
- Buy the pack. Chapter 4 is sold on its own, and Bandai Namco also sells the Future Saga Pack Set, which bundles all four chapters. Steam warns that the content is included in some bundles, so check you do not buy it twice.
- Update the game. You need the July 2026 patch or later. On Steam, the pack requires only the base game.
- Play the Extra Missions arc. The new story continues the Future Saga. RPG Site's summary of the arc: in Chapter 1 Fu launches a scheme to alter the future, in Chapter 2 his experiments escalate, in Chapter 3 he allies with Golden Frieza and gains Ultra Supervillain power, and in Chapter 4 you must stop plans that could make Earth's defenders disappear.
- Unlock the extras. Clear the two Parallel Quests for Super Souls and moves, and beat Ultra Time Patrol Battles for the illustrations.
Playing the chapters in order makes the story far easier to follow. Our existing DLC story order guide lists every pack from 2016 onward. If you skipped Chapter 3, its Cheelai and Broly side scenario is covered in our Cheelai and Broly patrol guide.
Is There a Chapter 5 or More DLC Coming?
No further chapter is planned. Bandai Namco described Chapter 4 as the final DLC when it was revealed, Gematsu's release coverage calls it the game's final downloadable content, and RPG Site's launch report says it concludes the four chapter Future Saga and nearly a decade of post launch content.
Support since then has taken a different shape. The free 10th anniversary update (1.54, or 1.006) arrived on 27 October 2026, and the seventh and final Festival of Universes started on 30 October with rewards that carry into Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3, which Bandai Namco says is slated for 2027. Our Festival of Universes 2026 guide covers that event.
Want Every Chapter Finished on Your Save?
If you own the DLC but would rather not replay every Extra Missions arc on several characters, the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 store page lists a modded save for PS4 and PS5. Its God Mode CaC save page states that the entire History Mode is unlocked on all 8 CaCs, including every DLC, with all 8 CaCs at Level 199. The page is clear that only the save is sold and the game must already be purchased, so the save is not a substitute for buying the Future Saga packs. It is not available for PC or Xbox, and delivery works through the PS4 or PS5 account handover details you submit at checkout.
