Editions & Differences

Standard Edition — Base game only. Pre-ordering also grants early access to the Treasure Basin accessory (+10% Remnant Dust drop rate) and the Legacy outfit — both of which can also be earned through normal in-game progression.
Digital Deluxe Edition — Base game and its pre-order bonuses plus two exclusive outfits, the Wulin Legend outfit and the Blood-Steel Form outfit, along with a digital artbook and the digital soundtrack.
Platforms — PlayStation 5 and PC only (Steam and the Epic Games Store). PS5 has a 12-month console exclusivity deal, so no Xbox version is expected before October 2027 at the earliest, and no Nintendo Switch version has been announced.

October 29, 2026 on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, and on PlayStation 5. S-GAME has confirmed development is complete, so the date is locked. It was originally set for September 9, 2026 before a 50-day delay announced on June 3, 2026.

Minimum: Windows 10 or 11 64-bit, an Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 16 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 1660 6GB or Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB, targeting 1080p at 30 fps with upscaling.

Is Phantom Blade Zero coming to Xbox?

Not at launch. It is a PlayStation 5 and PC release, and PS5 has a 12-month console exclusivity agreement, meaning an Xbox version is unlikely before October 2027. No Nintendo Switch version has been announced.

Is there a Phantom Blade Zero demo?

No public demo has been released. Pre-ordering either edition unlocks the Treasure Basin accessory and the Legacy outfit early, but both can also be earned by playing, so nothing is locked behind the purchase.

A wuxia action RPG from S-GAME built in Unreal Engine 5, described by the studio as kungfupunk. You play Soul, an assassin framed for his master's murder and left with 66 days to live, fighting across 30-plus primary weapons and more than 20 Phantom Edges with choreography from veteran wuxia fight directors.
