Phantom Blade Zero requires 134.857 GB storage on PlayStation 5

Phantom Blade Zero’s preload begins October 27, 2026, two days before its October 29 launch, and the game requires a 134.857 GB download on PlayStation 5. The Standard Edition is priced at $59.99.

A Digital Deluxe Edition at $69.99 includes a digital art book, soundtrack, and cosmetic items. Players should aim for at least 140 GB of free space to accommodate the game plus updates and save data.

This install size places Phantom Blade Zero among the largest day‑one PlayStation 5 releases, comparable to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Call of Duty titles, and Gran Turismo games. Using the two‑day preload window allows players to download the file in advance, avoiding launch‑day network congestion.

Starting a preload on PlayStation Store ends the refund eligibility for the pre‑order once downloading begins. The game launches globally at 2:00 AM GMT on October 29, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and PC.

In North America, the game unlocks the evening of October 28 (7:00 PM PT / 10:00 PM ET) due to the global unlock. Phantom Blade Zero is built on Unreal Engine 5 and emphasizes dense environments, realistic textures, and high‑fidelity animation.

The game features over 30 main‑hand weapons, more than 20 Phantom Edge off‑hand weapons (a type of off‑hand weapon), and eight possible endings influenced by side‑quest choices. A New Game Plus mode becomes available after completing a full play through.

Phantom Blade Zero is launching as a digital‑only release with no physical disc planned. The game will initially be exclusive to PlayStation 5, with an Xbox version planned for a later release, though S‑Game has not confirmed a date or exclusivity length.

Pre‑orders have been live since August 11, 2026. The game is developed and published by S‑Game.

On Steam, it has reportedly sold 300,000 units and accumulated 1.6 million wishlists. Minimum PC requirements call for Windows 10/11 64‑bit, an i7‑8700K or Ryzen 5 3600 processor, 16 GB RAM, a GTX 1660 or RX 5500 XT graphics card, DirectX 12 and an SSD.

Recommended specs step up to an i5‑10600K or Ryzen 5 5600X, 16 GB RAM, an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6700 XT, DirectX 12 and an SSD. The game is set in the Phantom World, a dark fantasy take on ancient China shaped by wuxia martial arts tradition.

Phantom Blade Zero combines traditional Chinese martial arts with steampunk technology in a dark, semi‑open wuxia setting. The protagonist Soul is an elite assassin accused of killing his order’s patriarch and has sixty‑six days left to live.
