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.

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.
