Call it the positive pre-release impressions or S-Game’s own trailers and gameplay, but the hype around Phantom Blade Zero has reportedly translated into strong pre-launch sales. Alinea Analytics’ Rhys Elliott estimated on LinkedIn that the hack-and-slash action RPG has already sold 500,000 copies on Steam, reportedly earning $24 million in revenue.
He also claims that “pre-launch signals” on PS5 look good, and it could become a breakout hit among 2026’s single-player titles. Of course, S-Game has said nothing about sales ahead of the game’s October 29th launch on PS5 and PC. However, director Qiwei “Soulframe” Liang confirmed that pre-orders “far exceeded” expectations in their first week.
Furthermore, Phantom Blade Zero topped three million wishlists in mid-September. Elliott claims it’s at 2.5 million Steam wishlists as of October 20th, so the total across both platforms may be even higher by now. Time will tell, so stay tuned for further details in the coming days.
In the meantime, check out the launch trailer here, which reveals several new bosses and weapons that Soul wields. S-Game also confirmed physical versions for release in 2027, including an Ultimate Edition with a collectable steel case.
