1791444773

Phantom Blade Zero is coming to PC as an Unreal Engine 5 action RPG built around fast-paced wuxia combat, making stable frame rates important during fights. The official Phantom Blade Zero system requirements start with a GTX 1660 or RX 5500 XT, 16 GB RAM, and an SSD, while the recommended tier targets 1440p at 60 FPS with upscaling enabled.

This guide will cover the minimum and recommended PC specs, storage requirements, performance targets, and how to check whether your PC is ready for Phantom Blade Zero.

Phantom Blade Zero System Requirements for PC

S-GAME has published the official PC requirements for Phantom Blade Zero, covering minimum and recommended hardware targets.

Phantom Blade Zero Minimum Requirements

The Phantom Blade Zero minimum requirements target 1080p at 30 FPS with a GTX 1660 or RX 5500 XT and 16 GB RAM. This is the entry-level PC target, but keep in mind that S-GAME’s stated performance assumes upscaling is enabled.

Phantom Blade Zero Recommended Specs

The Phantom Blade Zero recommended specs target a smoother 1440p experience at 60 FPS with an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6700 XT and 16 GB RAM. Like the minimum target, the official 1440p performance figure is based on upscaling being enabled.

Phantom Blade Zero Storage Requirements and Download Size

Both the minimum and recommended requirements explicitly state that SSD installation is required. The official Phantom Blade Zero download size has not been announced yet. Steam currently provides no storage-capacity figure, so any specific GB estimate would be unofficial. Check the Steam page again closer to preload or launch for the final installation size.

Can Your PC Run Phantom Blade Zero?

Before buying or installing Phantom Blade Zero, compare your PC hardware with the official requirements to see which performance tier best matches your system.

How to Check Your PC Specs

Follow the steps below to check your PC’s key specifications.

Step 1. Open Settings > System > About to check your CPU, installed RAM, Windows version, and system type.

Check CPU RAM and Windows version in System About

Step 2. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, open Performance > GPU, and check your GPU model and dedicated GPU memory.

Check GPU and dedicated VRAM in Task Manager

Step 3. Open Task Manager > Performance > Disk to confirm your drive is an SSD, then open File Explorer > This PC to check its available space.

Compare Your PC with the Official Requirements

Once you know your hardware, use the official performance tiers below to estimate the experience your PC is designed to target.

Performance TierGPU TargetOfficial Performance Target
MinimumGTX 1660 6GB / RX 5500 XT 8GB1080p / 30 FPS
RecommendedRTX 3060 Ti 8GB / RX 6700 XT 12GB1440p / 60 FPS
Ray Tracing RecommendedRTX 5060 8GB1080p / 60 FPS
Path Tracing RecommendedRTX 5080 16GB2160p / 60 FPS

If your hardware is close to the minimum tier, start with the 1080p/30 FPS target. Stronger systems can aim for the recommended or ray-tracing tiers. Remember that all four official performance targets assume upscaling is enabled, so they should not be treated as native-resolution benchmarks.

How to Prepare Your PC for Phantom Blade Zero

Meeting the system requirements is only the first step. Prepare your PC before launch to reduce unnecessary performance load and choose settings that fit your hardware.

Update Your Graphics Driver and Close Heavy Background Apps

Update your graphics driver before playing, then close unnecessary background apps and overlays that consume CPU, RAM, or GPU resources. This gives Phantom Blade Zero more system resources to work with and helps reduce potential performance conflicts.

Download and install the latest stable driver

Choose a Starting Point That Matches Your Hardware

Use the official performance tier closest to your hardware as your starting point. PCs near the minimum requirements should begin around the 1080p/30 FPS target, while systems closer to the recommended specs can aim for 1440p/60 FPS instead.

Use Supported Upscaling and Test Frame-Rate Stability

Keep supported upscaling enabled when targeting the official performance figures, since S-GAME’s minimum, recommended, ray tracing, and path tracing targets all assume upscaling is active. Once the game is available, test actual combat and adjust resolution or graphics settings if frame rates are unstable.
