A strange loophole lets Xbox Game Pass users get Dragon Ball FighterZ for free
Dragon Ball FighterZ was critically and commercially successful, introducing countless players to fighting games and the community surrounding the genre. Currently, gamers are acquiring the Arc System Works title for free through what appears to be an unintentional loophole. The loophole that they're using to acquire the game is quite simple. For active Xbox Game Pass users, the Xbox One version of Dragon Ball FighterZ is free to download through Xbox's free play days promotion. After launching the game app, players meet with a menu featuring the option to upgrade to the game's Xbox Series X|S version. Selecting to upgrade adds both versions of DBFZ to the player's owned games library. Twitter user @Wario64, whose account focuses on advertising deals for cheap games, discovered the workaround. His post met with skepticism towards its validity in the comments, and some gamers claimed the loophole didn't work for them. The workaround is still possible presently, and neither Microsoft nor DBFZ developer Arc System Works has yet to acknowledge the exploit. Although it's feasible that both entities are unaware of what's going on, that scenario seems unlikely. It's currently unclear if there are plans to fix the loophole or if players who acquired the game in this manner will ultimately lose access. Definitive answers will have to wait until Dragon Ball FighterZ Free Play Days access ends March 2 at 11:59 pm PST.
