As a fighting game, Dragon Ball Xenoverse contains stylized violence appropriate for its Teen rating. While there are no direct monetization pressures or stranger chat, the competitive nature of fighting games may lead to some social comparison. The collection of Steam cards introduces a minor element of variable rewards and escalating commitment, but this is external to the core gameplay.
