Server Issues May See DRAGON BALL FIGHTERZ Open Beta Extended

Bandai Namco is discovering that they can't get the test data they want from the Dragon Ball FighterZ open beta if no one can connect to servers and actually play a match. The servers were operating fine last Friday, during the Closed Beta for gamers that pre-ordered, but all hell broke loose on Saturday for the Open Beta as it seems Bandai didn't anticipate such a large number of participants.Many gamers have complained on social media that they've been unsuccessful in connecting to the servers for the bulk of Saturday.  

Stay tuned for further updates.  In the meantime, if you were one of the lucky few that managed to get a match in, what were your first impressions of the frenetic fighter? Let us know in the comment section below.

Until Bandai says otherwise, the Beta is still scheduled to end on Tuesday, January 16 at 12am PST/ 3 am EST.

FighterZ, the DRAGON BALL FighterZ Open Beta is experiencing network issues that cannot be addressed quickly. We'll keep the Open Beta online but you might experience problems during gameplay.
