Lastly, there’s a relevant tease about something that has been bothering players on PS4 for quite a while. At the moment you can purchase DLC costumes separately only on Xbox One and PC. In Japan you can do so also on PS4, but if you’re in the west, you’re pretty much forced to buy the whole thing.

Of course, this isn’t desirable for those focusing only on one or two fighters. Luckily, this is going to change soon, with more details coming in early September.

Currently Xbox One and Steam fighters can purchase DLC individually. We are working on a new system that will allow PlayStation 4 fighters to do the same. We will share more details about this new system early next month! #DOA6 #DEADORALIVE6 #DOAFamily pic.twitter.com/LoHVu8WOHm
