Phantom Blade Zero PC Requirements & SSD Checklist
Compare the current Steam requirements
The publisher's Steam listing reviewed on October 24, 2026 supplies the following PC specifications. They are a planning reference for the listed test targets, not a guarantee of identical performance in every scene or on every driver version.
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 10/11, 64-bit | Windows 10/11, 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i7-8700K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 | Intel Core i5-10600K / AMD Ryzen 5 5600X |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | GeForce GTX 1660 6GB / Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB | GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB / Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB |
| Graphics API | DirectX 12 | DirectX 12 |
| Installation | SSD required | SSD required |
| Listed target | 1080p / 30 FPS, upscaling enabled | 1440p / 60 FPS, upscaling enabled |
Read the target conditions
Both listed frame-rate targets explicitly use upscaling. They should not be rewritten as native-resolution promises. Matching a GPU name alone is also insufficient if your CPU, RAM, storage or operating system falls short of the rest of the configuration.
Before downloading
- Confirm your exact CPU and graphics-card model, including video memory.
- Check that the destination drive is an SSD and has room for the live download and installation process.
- Update supported graphics drivers and finish operating-system updates.
- Read the current Steam page again for any launch-week specification changes.
- Once installed, compare performance using the same scene and settings before changing several options.
Controls and regional release
Steam currently displays October 28, while the PlayStation developer article uses October 29 with a U.S. exception. Use your regional store's date and unlock message. GetCheatBeacon's existing 2024 PS5 demo control reference does not establish PC keyboard defaults for the release version.
