Always ensure your original Dead or Alive 6 game is updated to the latest version (Ver.1.23) before attempting to upload your data for transfer to the new version.
Transferring DLC Costumes
Transferring your collection of costumes requires an active network connection. You do not need to manually install the previous DLC files; the system will recognize your ownership via your account history on the PlayStation Network, XBOX Network, or Steam.
Update Original Game
Ensure your base game version is updated to 1.23 to enable data upload functionality.
Upload DLC Data
Sign in to your account, launch the original game, and navigate to the main menu to trigger the upload process.
Initialize New Version
Launch the new game version using the same account. The system will automatically detect and link your previously purchased content.
If you no longer have access to the physical copy of the original game, you can use the free-to-play Dead or Alive 6: Core Fighters application to upload your DLC data effectively.
Migrating Saved Data
Saved data migration varies slightly depending on your platform. Below is a comparison of the methods required for different console and PC environments to ensure your progression is preserved.
PlayStation 5
- Uses cloud storage via PS Plus
- Supports USB transfer from PS4

XBOX Series X|S
- Automatic via XBOX Network
- Requires same account login
- Seamless cloud synchronization
Steam PC

Before starting the transfer, ensure no existing saved data exists for the new game. If it does, you must delete it first to allow the transfer process to detect and import your original files.
Platform-Specific Data Requirements
Different platforms have unique file management structures. Use this reference to ensure your files are placed in the correct locations or synced through the appropriate services.
| Platform | Transfer Method | Key Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| PlayStation 5 | Cloud/USB | Must be same account |
| XBOX Series | Network Sync | Active network connection |
| Steam | Cloud/Manual | Path: Documents\KoeiTecmo\DEADORALIVE6 |
You cannot transfer saved data from the new title back to the original game. Always keep a backup of your original save files before initiating any migration process.
