Back on July 1, 2025, Bandai Namco announced Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Ranked Matches bugs were causing three issues and Spike Chunsoft would start maintenance to repair them. Now the company announced on social media that the mode will return on July 10, 2025. All three problems will be completely fixed after maintenance that day, though there will be a three hour period during which all online interactions will be unavailable before that.Â
The three issues that appeared at the outset of July 2025 affected Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Ranked Matches in such a way that people were being unfairly ranked or awarded. For example, even if someone lost, they wouldn’t see their win streak bonus end. Your streak from Season 0 would still affect the current season and folks’ positions. Also, if you ended up demoted after Season 0, you ended up in D5 regardless of your performance during that season. All three of these issues will be resolved after the update.
This also means Bandai Namco and Spike Chunsoft are starting the Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Season 1 from scratch again. If you took part when the issues affecting ranking and performance happened, you’ll find any progress made during Season 1 wipde out and back at the start.
Before this issue came up, another major addition appeared in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. Bandai Namco added Shallot DLC to the game. The Dragon Ball Legends character appeared alone, outside of any of the larger packs.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is available worldwide on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam, and Ranked Matches will return on July 10, 2025.
