Recently, a new glitch has surfaced for Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X players, allowing them to download a popular AAA anime game at no cost. However, this glitch appears to be accessible only to those with an Xbox Game Pass subscription. It remains uncertain whether Bandai Namco and Xbox will acknowledge this loophole for users who benefit from it. Historical trends indicate that free downloads from such glitches are often retracted. Nonetheless, in certain instances, players have been allowed to keep the games they’ve acquired through similar errors.

To take advantage of this free game offer, users must first download the Xbox One version of the game via the Free Play Days promotion rather than the Xbox Series X version. After installation, players should launch the game on their console and opt to upgrade to the Xbox Series X|S version. Next, exit the game and restart the console to refresh the library. After completing these steps, Xbox Series S and Series X users should see a complimentary copy of Dragon Ball FighterZ available in their game libraries.

As noted by Wario64 on X, this glitch is currently active and functional. While it has not yet been resolved, it is likely that Xbox will address it soon. Whether or not the game will be removed from the accounts of those who exploited the glitch is still to be determined.

For players who do not currently have an Xbox Game Pass subscription but wish to seize this opportunity, it’s worth noting that a one-month subscription is available for just $1—significantly lower than the standard price of $14.99 due to a promotional offer. This is an affordable option, especially considering that the game retails for $59.99.

As for the cause of this glitch, the specific reason remains unclear; however, it’s not the first instance of such an error occurring during a Free Play Days event. This suggests it may be a recurring issue for Xbox users.
