Does DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2 run on Linux?
Verdict: Partly
Partly. DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2 runs on Linux through Steam's Proton tool and players on ProtonDB rate it Gold, the second-highest rating, but its online play is guarded by Easy Anti-Cheat, which does not work on Linux. Expect single-player only.
DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2 is an action, adventure and casual game from QLOC, published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, first released on 27 October 2016.
You can play it alone, together online, or with someone on the same screen. Steam lists it as fully playable with a controller. Critics scored it 78 out of 100 on Metacritic.

What you can do
No version of Linux and no setting can fix this, because the block is on the game's side. Trying to get around anti-cheat can also put your account at risk. If this is a game you play often, keep Windows on that PC, or install Linux beside Windows and restart into Windows to play.
