Phantom Blade Zero is still three days away from launch at the time of writing, but it’s already passed an impressive milestone. Right now, Phantom Blade Zero has made its way onto Steam’s Global Top Sellers list, climbing all the way up to the number two spot.
First teased all the way back in 2016 and then officially announced in the May 2023 PlayStation Showcase, Phantom Blade Zero is a third-person action-RPG being developed and published by Chinese studio S-Game. While Phantom Blade Zero is implementing some Soulslike and Metroidvania features into its level design, the game delivers a wholly unique type of action combat that puts Wuxia-inspired style at the forefront.
Phantom Blade Zero is Steam’s Second Best Selling Game Right Now
At the time of writing, Phantom Blade Zero is at the number two spot on the Steam Global Top Sellers chart, coming just behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. In the second position, Phantom Blade Zero is currently beating out Cyberpunk 2077, which just got a sizable sales boost thanks to its free 2.5 update, as well as the free-to-play games Dota 2, Counter-Strike 2, AION 2, and PUBG: Battlegrounds.
There are no official details on how many copies Phantom Blade Zero has sold so far on Steam or on PlayStation 5, but a recent report from Alinea Analytics claims that as of October 21, Phantom Blade Zero has sold over 500,000 copies on Steam alone. Those sales are claimed to have pulled in around $24 million for S-Game already, and that was five days before it became Steam’s 2nd bestseller globally. Alinea also claims that “pre-launch signals” point to Phantom Blade Zero “doing well on PS5, too,” though it doesn’t provide exact numbers.
This presumed burst of sales comes just a few hours after official Phantom Blade Zero reviews went live. On OpenCritic, Phantom Blade Zero has earned a Top Critic Average of 91 and a critic recommendation score of 100%, making it the aggregate site’s 5th highest-rated game of 2026 so far. In GameRant’s Phantom Blade Zero review, Nick Rodriguez gave the action game a 9/10, stating in his closing paragraph that it “has enough X-factor to make it a must-play for any action-RPG fan, and a definitive leap forward for S-GAME.”
There are two versions of Phantom Blade Zero currently available for pre-order on both PC and PS5. The Standard Edition of Phantom Blade Zero is retailing for $59.99, while the Deluxe Edition will set players back $69.99. At launch, Phantom Blade Zero will only be available digitally, though a physical release is planned for sometime next year, where fans will also be able to pick up a special Ultimate Edition of the game that includes a steelbook.
