Phantom Blade Zero blew up Steam. Players are massively pre-ordering

After an 11-minute gameplay presentation, S-GAME's Phantom Blade Zero instantly topped the Steam bestseller chart.

Phantom Blade Zero received extensive coverage, which showed new gameplay footage and confirmed what players had been waiting for. A few hours after pre-orders began, S-GAME's game became a bestseller on Steam.

Although a special State of Play show is scheduled for August 17, it seems unnecessary. An 11-minute presentation was enough for the wuxia adventure to become a hit.

Despite the absence of a demo and a physical edition, the game's showcase with attractive prices triggered a wave of pre-orders. As a result, Phantom Blade Zero became the best-selling game on Steam.

The game will be released on October 29, 2026. It immediately took first place among bestsellers, which indicates high interest in classic slashers.
