The official Phantom Blade Zero PC system requirements are out, outlining what you’ll need for minimum and recommended settings [1]. Developed by S-GAME [2], the fast-paced action RPG [3] is scheduled to launch on October 29, 2026, for PC and PlayStation 5 [4][5].
What are the minimum PC requirements for Phantom Blade Zero?
S-GAME has released the official PC specs for Phantom Blade Zero [1]. The game is being made with Unreal Engine 5 [6]. The studio outlined four hardware tiers, starting with the minimum spec [7].
The minimum spec targets 1080p at 30 frames per second with upscaling enabled [1]. An SSD is also required [1].
The official minimum PC requirements are as follows:
- Processor (CPU): Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 [1]
- Memory (RAM): 16GB [1]
- Graphics (GPU): NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 (6GB) or AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT (8GB) [1]
- Storage: SSD required [1]
What are the recommended PC requirements?
S-GAME’s recommended spec targets 1440p at 60 frames per second, double the framerate of the minimum spec, again with upscaling enabled [1].
The official recommended PC requirements are:
- Processor (CPU): Intel Core i5-10600K or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X [1]
- Memory (RAM): 16GB [1]
- Graphics (GPU): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (8GB) or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (12GB) [1]
The recommended spec keeps the same 16GB of RAM as the minimum spec [1].
What do the Ray Tracing and Path Tracing tiers require?
Beyond the recommended spec, S-GAME’s system requirements page adds two more tiers, Ray Tracing and Path Tracing [7]. The page was published on August 12, 2026 [7].
- Ray Tracing tier: targets 1080p at 60 FPS with hardware ray tracing enabled; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (8GB) [7]
- Path Tracing tier: targets 4K at 60 FPS with path tracing enabled; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 (16GB) [7]
All four tiers side by side [1][7]:

Finally, the game uses Denuvo DRM on PC, according to Steam’s store data [1]. The PC version also supports Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing [1].

FAQ
What are the different editions of Phantom Blade Zero?
Phantom Blade Zero will launch with two versions: a Standard Edition and a Deluxe Edition [8]. The Standard Edition contains the full base game [8]. The Deluxe Edition adds several digital extras, including the exclusive Wulin Legend and Blood-Steel Form outfits, a digital artbook, and the original soundtrack [8]. Pre-ordering either edition grants early unlocks for the Treasure Basin accessory and the Legacy outfit [8], though S-GAME has confirmed both items can also be earned through normal gameplay [8].
Does Phantom Blade Zero have multiplayer?
S-GAME has not announced any multiplayer mode for Phantom Blade Zero, and the game is presented as single-player. As of September 21, 2026, Steam’s store listing carries only the “Single-player” category tag, with no “Multi-player” or “Co-op” tag [1]. The 2026 pre-order page, the August 17 State of Play recap and the system requirements page do not mention a multiplayer mode either [4][5][7].
