Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's release date is just days away, but before players are able to jump into this highly-anticipated new title, they will first need to install a somewhat significant patch. Indeed, there is a Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot day one update, Patch 1.02, that clocks in at a sizable 11GB. While some fans may not be thrilled to have to download such a large Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot update on release day, what the patch brings to the game may make up for the inconvenience.
Specifically, the patch notes suggest that Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Update 1.02 will not only improve the game's loading times, it will also add content to the title in the form of "sub stories." While the 1.02 patch notes do not elaborate on exactly what these additional sub stories are, some fans will simply be happy to know that the developer is apparently already adding more content to the game, and that may lead to a noticeable increase in the overall length of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot.
Additionally, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Patch 1.02 makes it possible for players to fast travel directly to Korin Tower Summit and Capsule Corporation from the world map. It also adjusts the entry fee for Time Attacks (advanced) and makes other unlisted changes. While these adjustments may not be as exciting to players as the aforementioned addition of sub stories, general QoL improvements should at least help smooth out the experience.
To note, players will also be downloading another update, Patch 1.01, on Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's release date, though the notes only indicate that it focuses on "system features related to bonuses." Likely, this is not something that will be perceptible to most fans, but it is worth mentioning, as some players may simply be curious about exactly what they are installing.
For fans to that prefer to see the formatted Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Update 1.01 and Update 1.02 patch notes, those can be found below. While there is not a great deal of material to sift through in them, imagining the additional sub stories might be enough to keep fans occupied until they can dive into Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's Sagas on Friday.
