FAQ
Is Phantom Blade Zero out?
Yes. It released on October 29, 2026 on PS5, Steam and the Epic Games Store. In the US and select regions it unlocked on the evening of October 28 (PS5: 7pm PT). It had been rescheduled from September 9, 2026.
Why do some sites still show September 9?
Those pages were published before the June reschedule and have not been re-verified. Any date sourced from a media hands-on page rather than the store page or official channels should be treated as stale.
Which platforms is it on?
PlayStation 5 (PS5 Pro Enhanced) and PC, on Steam and the Epic Games Store, plus WeGame in China. There is no PS4 or Xbox version.
Is there a demo?
No demo was released before launch. A demo page briefly appeared on the PlayStation Store in August and was removed.
