Players control one character at a time while the others are used as support, with players able to switch betwe them during battle. Combat functions similarly to the previous Jump fighting game, such as J-Stars Victory VS, Dragon Ball Xoverse sub-series, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm sub-series and One Piece: Burning Blood, with players moving around a 3D space and utilizing various combos and special moves to attack their opponts. The match ds wh one team depletes the other's health bar.

Wh the real world collides with many of the Shōn Jump universes, humanity is invaded by the Voms, an army of mind-controlled villains led by Kane and Gala. In order to fight back, many heroes are recruited to join the Jump Force under the leadership of Director Glover and his AI partner Navigator. But a suspicious figure is using both the Jump Force and the Voms as an attempt to gain a mysterious artifact and merge all worlds into one.

Frieza attacks New York City with an army of Voms, being confronted by Son Goku; however, a stray laser blast from Frieza fatally wounds a civilian in the war zone. Trunks revives the civilian with a cybernetic device called an umbras cube, giving them the pottial to be a hero like them. Frieza withdraws, allowing Goku and Trunks to take the civilian back to their HQ, where they are greeted by Director Glover. Glover explains that the manga worlds from Jump have somehow begun merging with the real world and using their own umbras cubes to turn evil-hearted humans into Voms, forcing him to create the Jump Force to quell the threat; the organization consists of heroes from the Jump worlds, along with other people saved through the cubes.

The group is divided into Alpha, Beta and Gamma teams; Son Goku leads Alpha (along with Piccolo, Zoro and Gaara) to fight off the invading Voms, Luffy leads Beta (along with Boa Hancock, Sanji, Boruto and later Vegeta) to reclaim the territory from the Voms, while Naruto leads Gamma (along with Kakashi, Sasuke, Trunks and Sabo) for stealthy reconnaissance. The new hero, who serves as the game's player character, is asked to join one of the divisions to help repel the invasion.

The Jump Force discover other heroes being mind-controlled by umbras cubes charged with evil ergy. They free the heroes and recruit them, taking the cubes for inspection. Duplicates of the Jump villains made of the dark umbras cubes also appear, along with the real ones, adding to the confusion.

After an amnesiac girl named Angela is rescued, several members of the Jump Force suddly become possessed by evil auras during missions, leading them to suspect a traitor is among them. While Sanji is initially blamed, the culprit is revealed to be Angela, who is a disguise for the evil Gala. She steals the collected umbras cubes and gives them to her master Kane, a man seeking to wipe out humanity in revge for the deaths of his family. The player pursues and defeats Kane, but Glover reveals himself as Prometheus, the true mastermind behind the merging of the worlds and Gala's true master, having used Kane to sow chaos across the worlds. Having outlived his usefulness, Gala seemingly kills Kane and proceeds to stall the heroes to allow Prometheus to continue his plans. The heroes defeat Gala, only for Prometheus to absorb her afterward.

The heroes confront Prometheus, who reveals himself to be a keyman charged with showing the real world the stories of Jump, but grew tired of humanity's vices and attempts to merge the real and the Jump worlds together in order to guide humanity in the right direction. He steals the player's cube for its good ergy, planning to use it to balance the evil ergy he collected from the villains to become a god. The villains form a temporary truce with the heroes, while a still-alive Kane uses the last of his strgth to give his cube to the player and Goku empowers them further with the ergy from all of the Jump Force, allowing them to destroy Prometheus.

However, Prometheus's death does not separate the realities, leaving Earth still under threat from the Jump villains. At Trunks' suggestion, the player character becomes the new Jump Force director and continues to protect humanity. Meanwhile, Light finds an umbras cube left behind by Prometheus, planning to use its dark ergy to re-power his Death Note.
