Phantom Blade Zero Release Date, Price & PC Requirements

Phantom Blade Zero is out. S-GAME's wuxia action RPG launched on 28 October 2026 for PC and PS5, and the store page has carried the same release date for the base game and its Deluxe upgrade since launch. This page covers the facts a buyer needs: date, price, editions, languages and PC specs.

Release date

Phantom Blade Zero released on 28 October 2026. The Steam page and the Deluxe Edition upgrade both list that date, and there was no Early Access period to wait through. PS5 owners got the game on the same day.

The game was announced years earlier, so a lot of the search traffic still lands on old trailers and demo impressions. The build people are playing now is the full release.

Price

Steam showed no launch discount on 9 November 2026. Regional prices outside the US and China follow each store's own currency and tax rules, so the number in your cart is the one to trust.

The Deluxe upgrade does not include the base game. If you already own the standard edition, buy the upgrade rather than the full Deluxe bundle.Official

What the Deluxe Edition adds

The official store description lists four items in the upgrade:

• Wulin Legend, a Deluxe Edition exclusive outfit.
• Blood-Steel Form, a second Deluxe Edition exclusive outfit.
• An in-game digital art book.
• An in-game digital soundtrack.

There is no story content, weapon or difficulty mode attached to the upgrade. It is cosmetic and archival, which makes the standard edition the reasonable default unless you want the outfits.

Platforms

• PC: Steam and the Epic Games Store.
• PlayStation 5: the console release.

The Steam listing is a single-player game with full controller support, Steam Achievements and Steam Cloud. There is no co-op or multiplayer mode on the store page.

Languages

For a Traditional Chinese player the practical answer is simple: menus and subtitles are localised, the spoken dialogue is not. English and Simplified Chinese are the only two audio tracks Steam marks as full voice support.

PC requirements

The minimum target is 1080p at 30 FPS with upscaling enabled. The recommended target is 1440p at 60 FPS with upscaling enabled. Both require an SSD.Official

The 145 GB figure is not a typo. It is one of the larger installs of the season, so check free space before you start the download.

What the launch build includes

S-GAME's own description sets the shape of the game:

• Soul has sixty-six days to live after the wound to his heart, and the story runs on that clock.
• More than 30 primary weapons and more than 20 Phantom Edges, taken from defeated enemies.
• Combat built on dodge, deflect, counter and chained combos.
• The Phantom World, with named locations such as Memory Flowers, the Discordance, Transcension, the Lady of the Veil and Inanis' Dreamscape.
• A kungfupunk art direction that mixes wuxia cinema, mechanical prosthetics, industrial ruins and modern rock.

Launch reception

Steam's public recommendation counter stood at 96,522 on 9 November 2026, and Metacritic lists an 88 for the PC version. Third-party trackers that log Steam's public playercount recorded a launch-window peak of 833,921 concurrent players on 1 November. Valve does not publish its own concurrent figures, so treat the peak as an estimate rather than an official number.

What is still unconfirmed

• The full boss order and any optional boss list.
• The exact conditions for each ending.
• Which side quests are missable, and whether the sixty-six day limit can be extended.
• Whether the Deluxe outfits can be earned in-game later.

Those are gameplay questions that need either an official guide or a completed playthrough. They are not guesses this page is willing to make.
