DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT goes full Super Saiyan — an HD version with improved visuals drops July 17, free for all existing owners.
Dragon Ball Z Kakarot HD Update
The update brings a cleaner, sharper look to the game. Expect enhanced environmental graphics, better rendering effects, and more detail across every region. Water reflections are clearer, underwater scenes look crisper, and plant life feels fuller. The world straight up looks just better.
This HD version lands only on Steam, aimed squarely at PC players who’ve stuck with the game since day one.
DBZ Kakarot Steam
A trailer dropped with the announcement, giving a side-by-side look at the changes. It’s short but makes the difference obvious. Fans are already sounding off in forums and comment sections. Some call it a nice surprise, others say it’s the push they needed to boot the game up again.
Kakarot has stayed popular since launch and still holds a “Very Positive” rating on Steam with over 93 percent of 41,000 plus user reviews. And with more than 8 million copies sold, there’s a huge base of players ready to check this out.
Bandai Namco Update
This is part of ongoing support for Kakarot, which launched in 2020. It’s not just about visuals either. The update lands the same day as the new Daima DLC, Daima Journeys Through the Demon Realm Part 1, based on the latest anime. It adds a new storyline with a younger Goku and marks the start of a three-part expansion running into 2026.

Bandai Namco is keeping the game fresh with both new content and a better visual package. Not bad for a title that’s been out for over five years.
And it’s a smart move too. With the Dragon Ball brand heating up again thanks to Daima and other anime projects in the pipeline, this is a way to keep longtime fans locked in while giving new players a reason to jump in. A free HD upgrade not only polish the visuals but also keeps the game in the conversation.
With the visual upgrade and fresh content arriving together, it feels like the game’s getting a second life. That kind of timing doesn’t happen by accident. For fans of Goku’s journey, July’s shaping up to be a solid reason to come back.
