I. Phantom Blade Zero Pre-downloads on 10.27, Launches on 10.29! Pre-orders Now Open
According to the official announcement, "Phantom Blade Zero" will open for pre-download on October 27 at 10:00 and officially launch on October 29 at 10:00. Players can prepare game files in advance through corresponding platforms and enter the game after the official launch.
Regarding pre-orders, the digital Standard Edition in the Chinese region is priced at 268 yuan, and the digital Deluxe Edition at 328 yuan. Officials also noted that the base game size is approximately 145GB, requiring additional disk space during the pre-download period. Therefore, players planning local installation are advised to check their devices and hard drives before pre-downloads begin to avoid last-minute storage issues close to launch.
II. Base Game ~145GB, Recommend Reserving 300GB, Install to SSD Required
Officials explicitly require: the base game is approximately 145GB, and due to the pre-download mechanism requiring extra cache, please reserve at least 300GB of available disk space. This means if your C drive or game drive has insufficient remaining space, you'll spend half the day just clearing space; mechanical hard drives are directly excluded, and thin-and-light laptops with integrated graphics won't even meet the startup threshold.
In addition to storage requirements, officials specifically reminded PC players to update their graphics card drivers to the latest version—NVIDIA users are advised to update to Game Ready driver version 621.01, while AMD users need to update Adrenalin and keep an eye out for exclusive driver optimizations.
