"Beautiful Katamari" is the first game in the series to include downloadable content. Seven additional levels are available individually from the Xbox Live Marketplace. Each additional level occupies only about 384 kB on the Xbox 360 console's hard drive, leading game reviewer Aaron Linde to complain that the game was shipped feature-complete but crippled unless players paid additional money. One of the "Beautiful Katamari" achievements explicitly requires that the player "download stages" to be able to build a 1,500,000 km katamari.
