With just 7 days remaining until the official release of "Phantom Blade Zero," estimated Steam pre-orders have reached approximately 500,000 copies, corresponding to roughly $24 million in gross revenue. These figures were released by Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics and represent third-party estimates, not confirmed sales data from the developer, publisher, or Steam.
The agency also estimates that as of October 20, 2026, the number of Steam wishlists for "Phantom Blade Zero" is approximately 2.5 million. Existing pre-launch data is also seen as indicative of a potentially strong launch performance on the PS5 platform, although there are currently no specific PS5 pre-order figures.
In terms of market composition, China is currently considered the primary market for "Phantom Blade Zero." Its Steam performance is said to have surpassed titles such as "Gears of War: E-Day" and "Control 2," although the full methodology behind these comparisons has not been disclosed.
Audience overlap data shows that among users interested in "Phantom Blade Zero," 41% have played "Black MYTH - Steam Edition: Wukong," 38% have played "Elden Ring," and 28% have played "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice." These figures indicate that the game has attracted some fans of high-intensity combat action games, but player base overlap does not necessarily translate to similar commercial success.
