What is the Phantom Blade Zero release date?
Phantom Blade Zero unlocks globally on October 29, 2026, at 10:00 AM Beijing time (02:00 UTC). In the United States, that is October 28 at 7:00 PM PDT or 10:00 PM EDT. US players see October 28 because the same global unlock falls on the previous evening locally.
All-platform preload begins October 27 at 10:00 AM Beijing time (02:00 UTC) — October 26 at 7:00 PM PDT or 10:00 PM EDT. See the preload time and download-size guide for the full regional schedule and PC/PS5 space requirements.
The game had previously been scheduled for September 9. S-GAME later moved it by 50 days to complete a focused round of polish. Our delay explainer covers the official reason and development timeline.
Digital vs Physical Release
S-GAME has confirmed PS5 physical editions for 2027, in Standard, Deluxe and Ultimate tiers. The digital release remains in October 2026.
| Release | Platform | Date | Editions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital | PS5 / PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) | October 29, 2026 at 10:00 AM Beijing time; October 28 evening in the US | Standard / Digital Deluxe |
| Physical | PS5 | 2027 | Standard / Deluxe / Ultimate |
The exact 2027 physical release date, prices, full regional availability and package contents have not yet been announced. The digital prices and edition contents below apply to the digital versions.
Watch the official launch trailer and read the physical-edition announcement.
Which platforms are confirmed?
The confirmed platforms are:
- PC — Steam
- PC — Epic Games Store
- PlayStation 5
The PlayStation Store marks the game as PS5 Pro Enhanced. No Xbox version or Game Pass release has been announced.
PC players should compare their hardware with the official system requirements before pre-ordering. The requirements include separate guidance for standard rendering, ray tracing, and path tracing.
How much do the digital editions cost?
The US standard edition is listed at $59.99. Regional prices vary by storefront, taxes, and currency. The official site offers Standard and Digital Deluxe editions, but players should confirm the final local price on their own platform before checkout.
What are the pre-order bonuses?
Pre-ordering grants early access to two items:
| Bonus | Effect or type | Permanently exclusive? |
|---|---|---|
| Treasure Basin | Accessory that increases Remnant Dust drops by 10% | No — obtainable through progression |
| Legacy | Outfit | No — obtainable through progression |
Because both items can be earned in-game, the pre-order is primarily an early-unlock offer rather than a requirement for complete gameplay content.
What is included in each digital edition?
| Content | Standard | Digital Deluxe |
|---|---|---|
| Full game | Yes | Yes |
| Treasure Basin early unlock | Yes | Yes |
| Legacy outfit early unlock | Yes | Yes |
| Wulin Legend outfit | — | Yes |
| Blood-Steel Form outfit | — | Yes |
| Digital artbook | — | Yes |
| Digital soundtrack | — | Yes |
The Wulin Legend and Blood-Steel Form outfits are identified as Deluxe Edition exclusives on the official site. The standard pre-order rewards are not exclusive.
Is there a public demo?
S-GAME has operated official offline demo tours and hands-on events, but the US PlayStation Store currently lists the full game for pre-order rather than a public downloadable demo. That distinction matters because many reports use “demo” to describe event builds.
Check our demo availability guide for the latest verified status and a timeline of the official World Tour.
What is the Epic Games Store and Fortnite offer?
Epic’s official promotion says eligible purchases through the Epic Games Store grant Fortnite cosmetics tied to Phantom Blade Zero: the Soul Outfit, Sanguine Pickaxe, and Sanguine Back Bling. The items are delivered through the connected Epic account, so players using Fortnite on another supported platform need the correct account connection.
This is a storefront promotion rather than content inside Phantom Blade Zero. Its availability and refund conditions are date-sensitive, and Epic also lists a limited separate Fortnite Item Shop window. Check the official FAQ before buying if these cosmetics affect your platform choice.
Should you pre-order?
The US digital Standard Edition costs $59.99. Digital Deluxe adds the two exclusive outfits, artbook and soundtrack listed above. The Treasure Basin and Legacy pre-order bonuses are early unlocks and can also be earned through normal in-game progression.
