Dragon Ball FighterZ, the fighting game developed by Arc System Works, finally launches in two days in all regions, but today Xbox One players have the final chance to try out the game before release.

A few hours ago, Bandai Namco confirmed that a final Xbox One X exclusive open beta is being held today. Like the open beta from earlier this week, this new one is going to be available for only 24 hours.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is one of the best Dragon Ball games ever released, and one of the best fighting games released in recent times.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is a game that does so much right. It’s a hardcore fighting game experience, as well as a more casual button masher. It’s a competitive fighter, as well as a Dragon Ball side story. Other Dragon Ball games have done Dragon Ball style mechanics better, Xenoverse’s 3D flight feels very authentic, but Dragon Ball FighterZ feels like the best of both worlds, and is one of the very best Dragon Ball games of all time. How the fighting meta will develop is another question entirely, and whether or not tournaments like EVO will allow DBFZ to join its ranks is still up for debate, but this is easily the most exciting new fighter I’ve played in a very long time.

Dragon Ball FighterZ launches on January 26th on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
