Xenoverse 2’s 10th Anniversary Update: Final Festival Rewards Explained

A decade of Xenoverse 2 gets a new event

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 reaches its tenth anniversary with a new Festival of Universes beginning October 30, 2026. Bandai Namco’s announcement frames the event around returning to Conton City, taking part in festival activities, and earning commemorative rewards. It is a limited-time celebration, so players who want the event items should check the in-game notice and official schedule rather than assume every reward will remain available forever.

The anniversary is also a reminder of how long the game has been supported across generations of platforms. The current announcement covers PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Availability and update timing can still vary by platform, so use the relevant platform’s update screen if the new content does not appear right away.

This guide sticks to rewards and systems Bandai Namco has actually described. The publisher has not published a complete minute-by-minute event calendar in the announcement, so we will not invent rotation times, hidden drop rates, or guaranteed reward quantities beyond the stated details.

What to do during the Festival of Universes

The core event loop is to participate in the Festival and build camaraderie with three characters: Trunks, the Supreme Kai of Time, and Fu. Bandai Namco says raising camaraderie with them can unlock special illustrations. That gives regular players a clear checklist: log in, check the event board, see which character goals are active, and keep track of progress as you play.

The event also brings back items that can be difficult to find at other times. The announcement mentions special items returning, along with a new Gi and a commemorative medal. It does not list every item’s exact task or drop condition, so the safest approach is to read each event prompt in-game instead of relying on old event guides that may describe a different Festival.

Bandai Namco also says Star Coin rewards will be 25 times the usual amount during the event. That is a substantial bonus, but it is still tied to participating in the event’s systems. Check the game’s reward screen after completing an activity and make sure your progress has registered before moving on to another task.

• Build camaraderie with Trunks, Supreme Kai of Time, and Fu for special illustrations.
• Look for returning limited-availability items, a commemorative medal, and a new Gi.
• The publisher advertises 25× the usual Star Coin rewards during the festival.

Free update content versus paid DLC

One important detail in the announcement is the line between the free update and paid content. Bandai Namco says a free update became available on October 27, with Login Bonus Rewards and special costumes. Those additions are separate from the Festival itself, which starts October 30.

The Gallery of Time update requires purchase of FUTURE SAGA Chapter 4 DLC, according to the publisher. That means players should not expect every new menu or feature mentioned in the anniversary post to be available just because the base game updated. Check your platform’s store listing and the in-game DLC status before spending time troubleshooting a feature that is part of paid content.

If you own the DLC but do not see the Gallery of Time content, verify that the add-on is installed and linked to the same account that owns the game. Console libraries sometimes require a manual download, while PC launchers may show the add-on separately. These are general platform checks; the publisher’s product page remains the source for purchase and entitlement specifics.

A practical plan for returning players

If you have not played in a while, take a minute to update the game before joining the Festival. Then check Login Bonus Rewards, the event board, and any new notices in Conton City. Starting with those screens helps you avoid missing a simple limited-time reward while you relearn where the game keeps its current activities.

For the camaraderie goals, focus on one character at a time if the event interface presents them as separate tracks. Keep the relevant character in mind while completing activities and review the progress screen periodically. The official announcement confirms the characters and the illustration reward, but it does not publish the most efficient route, so avoid guides that promise an exact shortcut unless they show the current in-game conditions.

Players who mainly want the anniversary cosmetics can prioritize the festival tasks tied to the Gi and medal. Those who want a longer-term collection goal may prefer to work through returning items as well. Since the event is time-limited, use the game’s active event board to confirm what is still available on the day you play.

Why this anniversary is a good time to jump back in

A recurring event can be an easy entry point for people who left after finishing the story. The festival offers a reason to revisit Conton City, earn rewards, and see how the current game handles its anniversary content. It also gives long-time players a shared goal that is separate from simply repeating the same battles.

The most useful part of the update may be its clear split between free additions, event participation, and paid DLC. Players can decide what they want without assuming that every anniversary feature requires a purchase. Read the official announcement first, then use the platform store page to check DLC ownership and the game’s own notices for live task details.

Xenoverse 2’s tenth anniversary is a celebration rather than a full sequel replacement. If you already enjoy its custom character battles and ongoing activities, the Festival of Universes gives you several limited-time reasons to return. If you are new, the event is still a useful snapshot of the game’s long-running support, but take the time to learn its systems at your own pace instead of trying to clear every goal in one session.

Prioritize rewards without turning the event into a grind

A limited-time event can make players feel they need to do everything immediately. Start by deciding which reward matters to you: the new Gi, the commemorative medal, an illustration, or an item that has returned. Then check how the event board tracks that goal. A short plan keeps the anniversary enjoyable and makes it easier to stop when you have earned the items you actually want.

The camaraderie rewards are tied to Trunks, Supreme Kai of Time, and Fu. If you enjoy collecting illustrations, make those character tracks part of your session plan. If you are mainly interested in the login bonus or costumes, claim those first and then decide whether you have time for more. The publisher’s announcement does not state that every item requires the same activity, so use the live task text rather than extrapolating from one reward.

Players returning after a long break can use the event to ease back into the game. Spend a few minutes checking menus and controls, then complete one activity and confirm the reward appears. There is no need to rush through every system at once; the anniversary is a good moment to reconnect with the game, not a test of how quickly you can clear a checklist.

  EVENT CHECK

Update the game, claim login rewards, review the live Festival board, and confirm whether Gallery of Time is included in your DLC library.
