The domestic wuxia action blockbuster Phantom Blade Zero is set for official release, having already topped Steam's global best-sellers chart. Its pre-order sales have exceeded those of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and even surpassed popular free-to-play titles like CS2.
According to SteamDB statistics, estimated pre-order sales for Phantom Blade Zero have surpassed 1 million copies, with the vast majority coming from Steam. As S-Games' first AAA blockbuster, its pre-sale achievements have garnered significant attention within the industry.
Media outlets have drawn comparisons to Black MYTH - Steam Edition: Wukong, suggesting that leveraging China's massive PC gaming community could allow the game to continue the impressive performance of Chinese AAA titles on Steam.
Phantom Blade Zero will officially launch today (October 29) at 10:00 AM. The industry is closely watching the actual concurrent player data following its day-one release. Pre-loading is now available; the PC version requires substantial storage space. The Standard Edition is priced at 268 CNY in the Chinese region and will be available on PC and PS5 platforms.
