All Phantom Blade Zero Platforms & Console Status
PlayStation 5 & PC are the only two platforms that will welcome Phantom Blade Zero.
If you’re playing Phantom Blade Zero on console, the only way you’ll be able to do so is with a PS5 or PS5 Pro. As always, the ‘master race’ doesn’t miss out, as PBZ is also coming to PC.
Is Phantom Blade Zero on XBOX Game Pass?
Phantom Blade Zero will not be on Game Pass, as the game isn’t coming to XBOX at all.

It’s not a PS5 exclusive, but PlayStation is the one console chosen by S-GAME. This means no last-gen or current-gen XBOX version, which also means no eligibility for Game Pass subscriptions.
Does Phantom Blade Zero Have Early Access?
Forget about Phantom Blade Zero for early access, as the devs haven’t made this one of the game’s pre-order or upgraded edition perks. The wuxia title launches like a normal game on October 28 or 29, depending on location.
Is Phantom Blade Zero a Soulslike?
No, Phantom Blade Zero is most definitely not a Soulslike, with the S-GAME’s CEO making this very clear.
Soulframe Liang—S-GAME CEO—said:
“When Phantom Blade Zero was first announced, people thought it was a “Soulslike.” Later, after we released some combat demo, people noticed that the pace was clearly much faster than Soulslike titles—it must be a “hack and slash” game like Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden,” they explained. Phantom Blade Zero is neither a Soulslike game nor a traditional action game.”
How Much Does Phantom Blade Zero Cost? Price, Explained
The Standard Edition of the game costs $59.99 and £54.99, and the Digital Deluxe Edition is $69.99 and £64.99.
You can also expect to pay much more for the Collector’s Edition, but it’s likely out of stock everywhere, unless you get it from a second-hand source.
Does Phantom Blade Zero Have a Free Demo?
You currently can’t download a free Phantom Blade Zero demo.
A Phantom Blade Zero was discovered on the PlayStation Store before being removed, and since then, a full demo has not been made available. We’ll keep an eye on its status to see if this was an accident or essentially foreshadowing of the impending free demo.
Does Phantom Blade Zero Have a Physical Edition & Disc?
There doesn’t seem to be a physical edition for Phantom Blade Zero, which means no tangible disc or game case to treasure.
I actually whipped up a more in-depth guide explaining the evidence behind the presumed lack of a Phantom Blade Zero physical copy. In short, if it’s happening, it might not be anytime soon, and digital is the only road right now.
