Bandai Namco launched the close beta for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 on Saturday, Oct. 8 for those who pre-ordered the game on PS4. Players just had a first look of the game's new features. As previously announced by the developers, characters can be carried over from XV1 to XV2 although there are limitations with the features that players can import from the prior version of the game.

Upload Data From XV1

Now that some players have already experienced the gameplay in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, there's much to prepare for. Players in XV2 can save data from their character in XV1 and upload saved data in the newest installment of the game.

However, there are limitations with the data that players can transfer. For one, a player cannot transfer the name, appearance, voice, and some skills of a character. Some of the costumes in XV1 also look different in XV2.

Another thing that players should remember is that they can only choose one Time Patroller transferred from XV1 at the beginning of the game. The features that get transferred to XV2 include upper, lower, hands, and feet equipment. Ultimate and super attacks as well as evasive skills can also be uploaded to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.

When transferring games from XV1, there are limitations as to where a user can upload saved data. A player can only upload XV1 data from Xbox 360 to Xbox One, Xbox One to Xbox One, PS4 to PS4, and PS3 to PS4. As of yet, these transfers are the only ones supported. A step-by-step guide on how to transfer data has already been made by the XV2 community to help out other players.

The well-awaited game franchise is already available to players, although the PS4 open beta would be available on Friday, Oct. 14. Here's a sneak peak on the introduction and the character race opening in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.
