Preliminary information

Before going into the details of the procedure on how to put mods on Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 , I think it may interest you to know more about this possibility.

Well, the mods are nothing more than content made by fans, or by the community devoted to the game. In fact, users generally want to add elements to the Bandai Namco title that would be absent in the base game.

To give you concrete examples, usually the mods related to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 go to introduce characters that would not be seen in a title of this genre, but obviously, being content created by the community, in reality it goes far beyond.

Just to give you some concrete examples, there are mods that affect the graphic aspect of the production of Bandai Namco, as well as on many other elements, from the transformations of the characters to their abilities .

All very interesting, no doubt. In any case, before proceeding, however, I would like to remind you that the world of content created by the community is not exactly well regarded by everyone , since it involves introducing elements into the game that were not originally foreseen by the developers.

This means that it could potentially make users turn up their noses, especially if you try to use this content online. So think about this before installing certain mods.

In short, I invite you to use the instructions in this guide without trying to perform “tricks” or the like, which could ruin the gaming experience for other users who want to compete normally, but simply for pure fun and in offline mode .

Obviously I do not take any responsibility in case of problems with your account, if you use in an “inappropriate” way the information contained in this tutorial.

How to put mods on Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

After explaining the situation to you in general, I would say that it is time to take action and explain in detail how to install and use the content made by the community in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.

How to put mods on Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 PC

Mods are particularly popular among PC users , who generally get their hands on various video games. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is no exception and, in fact, the Web is teeming with content that can dramatically expand the longevity of the original game.

Among the most popular portals that usually publish mods made by users is Xenoverse Mods . From the latter it is in fact possible to quickly find myriads of content created by the community.

To download one of them, usually just connect to the mod page and press the download button , present on the right. By doing so, the files related to the mod are downloaded to the computer: the latter usually have the X2M extension but in some cases they can be contained within ZIP archives to be extracted .

In any case, to be able to install the various mods it is necessary to have various tools, namely XV2 Mods Installer and XV2 Patcher : two programs that serve precisely this purpose. To download the first one, just connect to the AnimeGameMods portal and click first on the link here and then on the Download button .

For what concerns, instead, XV2 Patcher, you have to access this other page of the AnimeGameMods website , by clicking on the link here located next to the xv2patcher entry . Also in this case, you must then press the Download button .

By doing so, you will have both XV2INS.zip and xv2patcher_ [version] .zip files available on your PC . At this point, extract both files into any folders; then take the XV2PATCHER and bin folders and move / copy them to the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 installation path (for example, steamapps/common/DB Xenoverse 2).

If you do not know in which path the game has been installed, just open the Steam client , go to the LIBRARY section , press the right mouse button over the item Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 on the left and select the options Manage> Browse the local files from the menu that opens. This will open the game installation path directly.

Once this is done, start the xv2ins.exe executable that you extracted from the XV2INS.zip archive and click the Browse button (the three dots icon), then select the DBXV2.exe file located in the path game installation (for example steamapps/common/DB Xenoverse 2/bin) and click OK .

The window relating to the program to install the mods of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 will appear on the screen. You just have to click on the + button , located at the top left and select the X2M files of the mods you want to install.

To complete the installation, you must press the Install all of them in a new slot button and then the OK button . Perfect, you have now successfully installed the mods on your computer. To proceed, simply start the game and search for the content of your choice.

For example, if it is a mod related to a character , it is usually enough to go, during a game, to the area of offline parallel missions , starting one. At the time of character selection , if everything has been done correctly, there will also be the content installed.

In short, actually installing mods on Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 for PC is not very difficult: you just need to have learned the “mechanism”. For the rest, I strongly advise you to deepen the subject with a practical example, following my tutorial on the mod to have the Ultra Instinct . In the latter, in fact, I showed how that specific content works in detail.

For the rest, the portal that I indicated above, that is Xenoverse Mods , tries to make life easier for users by providing an INSTALLATION section , present just below the screenshots relating to the mods, where you can find information on the installation of individual contents.

Furthermore, by pressing on the MODS item on the left and selecting the INSTALL GUIDE option, it is possible to access a document, in English, which further goes into the details of the mod installation methods published on the portal.

I just want to clarify that, since it is content created by users, some mods may require the installation of other content or slightly vary the installation procedure .

In any case, as we have already seen, there is certainly no lack of information on this and, now that you know the “basic” installation method, you shouldn’t have any particular problems in reaching your goal.

How to put mods on Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 PS4

How do you say? Do you usually play Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 on PlayStation 4 , or anyway on consoles, and would you like to know if you can also use mods from this platform? No problem, I’ll explain immediately what the situation is.

In this case, you should know that unfortunately the console world is, as is well known, more “closed” than the PC one and therefore it is not possible to access the world of mods. In fact, as seen in the chapter dedicated to the computer version , to apply the contents created by the community it is necessary to use external tools .

The latter are not available for PlayStation 4 and other consoles, since all the software installed in the latter comes from the official stores ( PlayStation Store in the case of PS4). This means that users cannot make mods available for the console version of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, unless the mods are directly supported by the developers.

However, this operation would require a considerable effort to the latter, who should “take charge” of bringing the mods available for PC to the console. At the moment Bandai Namco has not yet made this choice and, given that the game originally came out in 2016, it is difficult to think that this will happen in the future.

In short, in the case of the console world, to expand the gaming experience it is necessary to “settle” for the official expansions , available for a fee through digital stores, such as the aforementioned PlayStation Store .

For the rest, I invite you to stay away from those who promise to get you the mods on console through “tricks” of various kinds. In fact, it is simply not worth wasting time with these contents, as the very nature of the console world does not allow you to carry out this operation in a “sustainable” way.
