FAQ
What time does Phantom Blade Zero release?
It unlocks worldwide at the same moment: 7pm PT on Wednesday October 28, 2026, which is 02:00 UTC on Thursday October 29. That is 10pm in New York, 2am in London, 3am in Berlin, 10am in Beijing, 11am in Tokyo and 1pm in Sydney.
Is it a global simultaneous release?
Yes, on PS5 and the Epic Games Store: both listings carry the same release moment, 02:00 UTC on October 29, in every region we checked. That is why the date is October 28 in the Americas and October 29 almost everywhere else.
What time does it unlock on Steam?
Not confirmed. Steam shows October 28 as the date but no exact time. PS5 and Epic both unlock at 7pm PT, and we will update this page if Steam shows something different.
What time is it in the UK?
2:00 AM GMT on Thursday October 29. UK clocks go back on October 25, so launch night is on GMT, not BST.
