In Europe, the game launched across all platforms 28 October 2016. In Japan, the game exclusively launched on the PlayStation 4 console 02 November 2016.
The Sparking! series of games on the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Wii featured new orchestrations of similar original franchise music, while the international editions of the games (under the “Budokai Tenkaichi” name) used a combination of recycled and original replacement music. A similar situation happened with the Blast series of games on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
