Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 US Road Tour
Hands-on stops from Houston to Carson. Schedule can change. The 2027 game is still unreleased.
The Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 US Road Tour is Bandai Namco America’s traveling hands-on. It is not a Steam download and not the 2027 retail build. Official copy says fans can play the sequel, earn giveaway items while supplies last, and be among the first to try Age 1000. Dates below come from Bandai Namco America’s Road Tour announcement and are subject to change. Confirm on the official tour page linked from official links before you buy a plane ticket.

July through early August stops will already be historical by the time you read this in September 2026. They stay on the table so footage from those weekends can be dated. Later mall and festival stops are the ones still useful for travel planning.
Other public hands-on (not the US tour)
Fun Expo 2026 in Seoul (late July), Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, and Tokyo Game Show 2026 also hosted or scheduled booths. Those are separate from the American Road Tour. A Korean or German queue does not use the table above. Interview takeaways from Gamescom are on the news timeline.
What to practice before you line up
You will not get a quiet training mode in a mall rotunda. Memorize:
- Guard / Perfect Guard / dodge on controls.
- Three knockdowns and revive on How to Play.
- Ki Break, Break Rush, Critical Strike on Combat.
- Whether the booth preset is Awoken or Soul Switch — Soul Switch.
If the station is a preset Saiyan, you are on the race list S-tier body whether you like it or not. Do not spend the first two minutes in a slider menu if staff are rushing the queue.
What a booth cannot tell you
- Final 2027 netcode
- PC settings
- The real 130-character menu
- Whether your mall giveaway code is a pre-order bonus (usually it is a physical or print item, not a Steam key — Bandai Namco has not published a key drop)
- Balance. A five-minute Broly fight is not a tier list. Take notes, then wait for the trailers page to add a new official video if they film your build.
Cross-play at events
Event PCs and PS5 kiosks may or may not be on the same build. Do not assume the August cross-play promise is wired in a convention hall. Play whoever is on your station. After the event, wishlist the platform you actually own via platforms.
After you play
Write down:
- Race preset
- Whether Switch or Awoken was equipped
- Whether Assist fired during hitstun (independent vs sync)
- How fast Ki Break happened when you mashed dodge
Then compare those notes to character creation instead of to a streamer’s leak graphic. If Bandai Namco adds winter dates or a Europe tour, they will land on this page and on news. Until 2027, the Road Tour is the only legal way most Americans will empty a Ki bar in Age 1000.
Travel smart: official page first, wiki table second, Twitter screenshot never.
