Phantom Blade Zero price, editions and pre-order bonuses

Last checked: October 21, 2026

Phantom Blade Zero is up for pre-purchase on Steam ahead of its October 28, 2026 PC launch. We have not yet verified per-edition prices, the full contents of each edition or any pre-order bonus against an official S-GAME announcement, so this page marks those details as not confirmed. Below you’ll find the confirmed facts, the open questions, and how to check the exact price in your region today.

Latest news: where Phantom Blade Zero pricing stands

The key facts that hold up right now:

• Release date: October 28, 2026, for PC (Windows). Some storefront listings show October 29, 2026. That is the usual effect of a single global unlock crossing time zones, but S-GAME has not published an official unlock time.
• Platforms: PlayStation 5 and PC. These have been the announced platforms since the PlayStation Showcase reveal in May 2023.
• Pre-purchase: Open on Steam. The store page uses Steam’s “Pre-purchase” title, which only appears once a buy button and price are live.
• Price per edition: Not confirmed on this page. Steam shows a local-currency price to you, but we only print figures we can verify against official sources. We’ll add them when that’s done.
• Pre-order bonuses: Not confirmed.
• Subscription status: No Game Pass or PS Plus deal has been announced.

This is a fast-moving page. Launch details like editions, bonuses and unlock times usually arrive in waves during the final months before release. We refresh this article as each one lands.

Phantom Blade Zero edition breakdown

This is the section most people are looking for. It is also where we have to be most careful. Retail and key-reseller listings mention a Standard and a Deluxe edition, but listings like these often go up before the publisher’s own breakdown and get things wrong. Until S-GAME or a first-party store confirms the contents, treat any third-party edition list as unverified.

Data applies to the pre-launch period of 2026 and will change as S-GAME publishes official edition details.

What a Standard Edition gets you

The Standard Edition is the full game: the complete story campaign of Soul, the lone assassin at the centre of Phantom Blade Zero, plus every gameplay system that ships at launch. S-GAME has not announced paid expansions, a season pass or post-launch DLC plans. Expect the base game and nothing else.

What a Deluxe Edition might add, and why we won’t list it yet

Deluxe tiers for single-player action games usually bundle cosmetic content. That can mean an alternate outfit, a weapon skin, a cosmetic accessory, a digital soundtrack or a digital art book of concept art. That’s a description of the genre’s habits, not a leak of Phantom Blade Zero’s contents. If S-GAME follows that pattern, you’ll see it on the PlayStation Store and Steam edition comparison panels first.

When the official breakdown lands, three things are worth checking:

1. Is any gameplay content locked to Deluxe? Cosmetic-only upgrades are easy to skip. Extra missions or early access are not.
2. Does PS5 Deluxe match PC Deluxe? Platform-specific bonuses happen, and they sometimes go unflagged in the first wave of listings.
3. Is there an upgrade path? Some publishers let Standard owners buy the Deluxe extras later as a separate pack. Others don’t.

Big autumn releases often split into Standard and Deluxe tiers with very different value. You can see how that played out in our “modern warfare 4 pricing” breakdown and our look at Final Fantasy Resonance editions.

Phantom Blade Zero pre-order bonuses

No pre-order bonus has been confirmed by S-GAME as of our last check. That covers digital and physical, PlayStation and Steam.

Data applies to the pre-launch period of 2026.

Pre-order bonuses for single-player games in this category are almost always cosmetic. They also tend to become purchasable or free later. Neither point has been confirmed for this game, so don’t pre-order on the strength of a bonus that hasn’t been officially listed.

Phantom Blade Zero price by platform

We aren’t printing a figure we haven’t verified. You can still see the live price yourself in under a minute.

Data applies to the pre-launch period of 2026.

Regional pricing

Steam uses regional pricing, so the figure you see depends on your account’s store region, not on a straight currency conversion. For a Chinese studio launching globally, that matters. Players in some regions will pay noticeably less than US or EU buyers, and Steam’s recommended regional pricing tables mean a small difference in the US price can turn into larger gaps elsewhere.

The PlayStation Store also prices by region. PS5 and PC prices don’t always match on day one, even for the same edition.

How the price compares with the market

Full-price PS5 games from major publishers have settled at $69.99 in the US. In 2025, Microsoft announced The Outer Worlds 2 at $79.99, then reversed the price to $69.99 weeks later after significant public backlash. That’s the ceiling buyers expect at launch. We aren’t predicting where Phantom Blade Zero lands. If you want a broader picture of how full-price launches stack up, our Call of Duty price history shows how one series has moved over the years.

Is Phantom Blade Zero on Game Pass or PS Plus?

No. Neither has been announced.

Data applies to the pre-launch period of 2026.

A few things follow from that:

• Game Pass is unlikely at launch because the game isn’t announced for Xbox at all. A PC Game Pass deal would need a separate agreement, and none has been revealed.
• PS Plus day-one placement has not been announced. Some third-party games do launch into the PS Plus catalogue, but that’s always officially announced in advance, usually in PlayStation Blog posts.
• A free PS Plus trial or demo has not been confirmed.

If you subscribe to a service mainly for big releases, plan to buy Phantom Blade Zero outright for now. That applies on PlayStation and on PC alike. Our EA Play Pro explainer covers how a different subscription handles a publisher’s own catalogue, if you’re weighing services in general.

Best deals for Phantom Blade Zero: where to buy safely

Searching for the game turns up plenty of “Buy Phantom Blade Zero Steam PC PS5” listings from key resellers. Here’s how to judge them.

Official stores first. Steam and the PlayStation Store are the safest places to pre-order. They show the publisher’s edition details as they become official, handle refunds directly and deliver bonuses automatically.

Authorised key sellers. Some licensed digital retailers sell Steam keys sourced directly from publishers. Prices can be a little lower than Steam’s, especially with launch discount codes. Check that the seller is an authorised partner before you pay.

Grey-market key marketplaces. These sell keys from third parties. Keys can be region-locked, revoked if bought with stolen payment details, or listed for an edition whose contents haven’t been confirmed. Before release, a grey-market “Deluxe” listing may be guessing at contents. Avoid them for a pre-order.

Physical PS5 copies. No physical edition has been confirmed in our check. If a retailer lists one with a placeholder price, that’s often a holding listing, not an official price.

Context: what Phantom Blade Zero is

If you’ve only seen the trailers, here’s the background.

Phantom Blade Zero is developed and published by S-GAME, a studio based in China. Its founder, known as Soulframe Liang, created the long-running Rain Blood series of Flash games, which later grew into the Phantom Blade mobile games. Phantom Blade Zero is a standalone entry built for current consoles and PC, so you don’t need to have played earlier games to follow it.

You play as Soul, an elite assassin for an organisation known as the Order. He’s framed for the murder of a high-ranking figure, gravely wounded, and left with roughly 66 days to live. The story begins with him hunting for the truth inside that deadline.

S-GAME describes the setting as “kungfupunk”: a mix of wuxia legend, martial-arts film choreography and industrial dark fantasy. The studio has pushed back on the “Soulslike” label, framing the game as a combat-focused kung fu action RPG. The core gameplay centres on fast weapon switching and parries, and it was playable at several trade shows in 2025.

If you plan to play on PC, check our Phantom Blade Zero specs page for the system requirements before you pre-purchase. That’s the real deciding factor for many players, more than which edition to buy.

What this means for you

The practical upshot is simple. The only decision you can make with full information today is a Standard Edition pre-purchase on Steam, and Steam’s refund policy makes even that low-risk. Everything else is still waiting on official confirmation: which edition, which platform bonus, physical or digital.

If you’re on PS5, there’s no harm in waiting. Pre-ordering won’t secure content that would otherwise be unavailable, and no bonus has been announced.

If you’re tempted by a Deluxe Edition, hold off until the official contents list appears on Steam or the PlayStation Store. That’s the only reliable source for what you’re paying extra for.

If you’re counting on a subscription, there is nothing to count on yet. Budget for the full price.

What happens next

Expect the following details in roughly this order as launch approaches. The timing is based on typical publisher patterns, not any S-GAME schedule:

1. Official edition comparison on Steam and the PlayStation Store, with confirmed contents and prices.
2. Pre-order bonus announcement, if there is one. These usually arrive with a new trailer or a social post from S-GAME.
3. Age ratings from ESRB and PEGI, which typically appear a few months before release.
4. Preload dates and file size for PS5 and PC.
5. Global unlock time, which will clear up the October 28 versus October 29 discrepancy.

We’ll update the tables above as each item is confirmed and change the “Last checked” line to match.

FAQ

How much does Phantom Blade Zero cost?

We have not yet verified official edition prices for this page. Pre-purchase is open on Steam, which shows the price in your local currency on the store page. We’ll publish per-edition, per-platform prices once they’re confirmed against official sources.

Is there a Deluxe Edition of Phantom Blade Zero?

Some listings reference a Deluxe Edition, but its contents and price are not confirmed here. Wait for the official comparison on Steam or the PlayStation Store before paying for an upgrade.

Does Phantom Blade Zero have pre-order bonuses?

No pre-order bonus has been confirmed by S-GAME as of our last check. If one is announced, it’s most likely to be cosmetic, but that’s an industry pattern, not a confirmed detail.

Is Phantom Blade Zero on Xbox or Game Pass?

No. The game is announced for PS5 and PC only, and no Game Pass or PC Game Pass deal has been announced.

Will Phantom Blade Zero be on PS Plus at launch?

Not announced. Day-one PS Plus additions are always announced officially in advance, and none has been for this game.

Can I cancel a Phantom Blade Zero pre-order?

On Steam, yes. Pre-purchases are refundable any time before release, and the standard 14-day, 2-hour window applies after launch. On PlayStation, cancellation follows PlayStation Store’s own refund terms for pre-orders, so check them before you buy.

Is the release date October 28 or October 29?

The date for PC is October 28, 2026, but some listings show October 29. That usually reflects a single global unlock time landing on different calendar days in different time zones. S-GAME has not confirmed the exact unlock time yet.

Priya Nair covers the questions people ask in the week before a launch: when a game unlocks in their time zone, what it costs, what each edition includes and which subscription services carry it. Release timing is her particular focus, because a single "launches on the 14th" can mean different hours in Tokyo, London and Los Angeles, and publishers often stagger unlocks by region or platform. She converts official unlock times rather than estimating them, lists edition contents by item rather than by marketing name, and records age ratings from the rating boards themselves. Regional price differences and pre-order bonuses get the same line-by-line treatment.
