Dead or Alive 6 Last Round Save & DLC Transfer Guide

Moving from Dead or Alive 6 to Last Round raises practical questions about save data, purchased costumes, and progression. Koei Tecmo supports one-way transfer from the original game, but not everything carries over. This guide explains exactly what transfers, platform-specific steps, and critical mistakes to avoid before you create Last Round save data.

Before You Start

Critical: Once you create Last Round save data, you cannot transfer from vanilla DOA6 without deleting Last Round progress first. Plan your transfer before playing Last Round casually. Read our upgrade and transfer overview for purchase context—Last Round is a separate purchase, not a free upgrade.

Save Data Transfer Steps

  1. Ensure your DOA6 save exists on the same platform account.
  2. PlayStation 4: Update DOA6 to version 1.23 before launching Last Round.
  3. Xbox: Download all owned DOA6 DLC to your console before transfer.
  4. Steam: Open Last Round logged into the same Steam account as DOA6.
  5. Launch Last Round—transfer prompts appear automatically when eligible data is detected.

What Transfers

  • Story progress and most campaign completion
  • Most unlocked costumes, glasses, and hairstyles
  • DOA Quest progress and many in-game unlockables
  • Most purchased DLC costumes (non-collaboration)
  • Tutorial, Command Training, and Combo Challenge completion (can re-trigger trophies with one completion after import)

What Does NOT Transfer

  • Mai Shiranui and Kula Diamond DLC ownership (must repurchase)
  • Collaboration costumes for Mai and Kula
  • Premium Tickets and hair color change DLC
  • Match replays, fight records, fight trends, pattern parts
  • Player rankings, Fighter Levels, Fighter Points, Player Points
  • Option and costume settings presets

DLC Costume Redownload

Transferred costumes may require redownloading from your platform store library. If costumes do not appear after transfer, verify purchase history and download again. Guest character keys from DOA6 do not grant Mai or Kula in Last Round—see DLC character keys page.

Standard Edition Bonus Content

Last Round standard edition includes Nyotengu, Phase 4, Momiji, Rachel, and Tamaki without separate keys. You do not need DOA6 DLC ownership for these five fighters in the full Last Round purchase. Details on our roster page.

PC Delisting Note

The original DOA6 Steam version was delisted before Last Round's launch, stranding some PC players without upgrade paths or DLC purchases. Last Round is a separate Steam purchase with no crossplay to original owners. See crossplay and platforms for multiplayer implications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I transfer DOA6 save data to Last Round?

Launch Last Round on the same account as your DOA6 save before creating any Last Round progress. The game detects transferable data automatically. Delete existing Last Round save data if you need to transfer again.

Does DOA6 DLC transfer to Last Round?

Most purchased costumes transfer when you open Last Round on the same account. PS4 players must update DOA6 to patch 1.23 first. Xbox players must download vanilla DLC before transfer.

Do Mai and Kula costumes transfer?

No. Collaboration costumes for Mai Shiranui and Kula Diamond do not transfer. Mai and Kula themselves require separate paid DLC in Last Round.

Can I transfer Last Round data back to DOA6?

No. Transfer is one-way from original DOA6 to Last Round only.
