Dragon Ball Xenoverse coming in 2015 Facebook

In order to play "Dragon Ball Xenoverse" on PC without hassle, players should secure the minimum or the recommended system requirements on a PC running Windows Vista or higher. The latest Service Pack should do great. The PC must also be powered up by 2.3 GHz dual-core or AMD and have at least 1 GB of RAM. For unspoiled "Dragon Ball" action and details, the PC should have the Nvidia 8800 GT or equivalent, Version 9.0c of DirectX and a reliable broadband Internet connection.

Bandai Namco also has word on the recommended PC system requirements in running the game. A Windows 7 OS or higher will be fine. A PC that houses a quad-core processor or AMD equivalent that clocks in at 2.6 GHZ is always better. It must have 4 GB of internal storage, four times bigger than the minimum requirement. In the graphics department, there should be an Nvidia Geforce GTX 550 or equivalent, DirectX 9.0c version and a secure Internet connection.

While players work to make their PCs the perfect venue for "Dragon Ball" action, the company has made pre-orders for the game available. Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta will be a playable character and two special Frieza Soldier's Battle Suits in gold and crystal will also be available for gamers who will purchase the "Day 1 Edition" of the game.

In "Dragon Ball Xenoverse," players can fight in and even watch the World Martial Arts Tournament online. Its official Facebook fan page adds that "the game will have a leaderboard, so the top fighters can be recognized for all of Xenoverse eternity." Along with the news were high quality screenshots of Super Saiyan 4 (SS4) Goku, Vegito, Mr. Satan vs Android 18, Goten vs Trunks, Tien and the developer's conventional Super Saiyan character.

"Dragon Ball Xenoverse" will arrive in Europe on Feb. 13, four days earlier than it will in America. On Feb. 17, U.S. gamers will get to play the new "Dragon Ball" title on all gaming consoles namely PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC/Steam.
