Arc System Works and Namco Bandai have released a new balance patch to Dragon Ball FighterZ. PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam ecosystems have been given the update. Nintendo Switch’s turn will be soon with an unannounced date, according to Twitter. The changes themselves can be seen in the massive 21-page documentation.
It seems as though the roster has had moves and normals altered in the name of balance. For example, Adult Gohan has at least 70% of a page dedicated to his new changes as well as Ultra Instinct Goku and Master Roshi.
A new balance adjustment patch for DRAGON BALL FighterZ (Version 1.38) is now available. Full patch notes can be viewed here: https://t.co/Y6qzxfyUfe

As for the community’s reception to the changes, there have been different views on either end. Most of the Twitter comments have pushed the reactions to negative, while there is a bit of praise on the other end. The game has had some rough patch releases this year including the rollback features in March. Perhaps the grass was greener on the other side of version 1.35’s Namek. This could be too early to tell.
The full patch notes can be seen on the Namco Bandai website.
Dragon Ball FighterZ is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
