Phantom Blade Zero has officially revealed its full PC system requirements ahead of launch. The action RPG from S-Game targets a mix of accessible and mid-range hardware, with clear performance goals tied to upscaling technologies.
The minimum specification aims for 1080p at 30 frames per second with upscaling enabled. It requires a Windows 10 or 11 64-bit operating system, an Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, and a graphics card equivalent to the GeForce GTX 1660 6GB or Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB. Memory stays at 16GB of RAM across both tiers, DirectX 12 is mandatory, and an SSD is required for installation. These parts should allow the game to run, though players should expect to rely on upscaling features such as DLSS or FSR to hit the listed frame rate target.
The recommended tier raises the bar to 1440p at 60 frames per second, again with upscaling active. Here the processor recommendation shifts to an Intel Core i5-10600K or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, while the graphics card moves up to an RTX 3060 Ti 8GB or RX 6700 XT 12GB. RAM, DirectX version, and the SSD requirement remain identical to the minimum list. This configuration is positioned for smoother, higher-resolution play, provided upscaling is left on.
Minimum requirements
- Operating System: Windows 10/11 64-bit
- Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K or Ryzen 5 3600
- Graphics: GTX 1660 6GB or RX 5500 XT 8GB
- Memory: 16GB RAM
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: SSD required
- Target: 1080p at 30 FPS with upscaling
Recommended requirements
- Operating System: Windows 10/11 64-bit
- Processor: Intel Core i5-10600K or Ryzen 5 5600X
- Graphics: RTX 3060 Ti 8GB or RX 6700 XT 12GB
- Memory: 16GB RAM
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: SSD required
- Target: 1440p at 60 FPS with upscaling
Storage needs have also been clarified. The finished game install sits around 145GB. During the preload process, however, players are advised to free up to 300GB of space on the chosen drive. Temporary files and the full download must coexist until the process completes, after which usage settles back to the final install size. Installing on an SSD is non-negotiable for both tiers and is expected to improve loading and streaming performance.
These requirements place Phantom Blade Zero in a relatively approachable range for a modern Unreal Engine 5 title. A 2019-era card such as the GTX 1660 can clear the minimum bar, while an RTX 3060 Ti or equivalent handles the recommended 1440p target with upscaling. Ray tracing is not listed as required for the base experience. Anyone planning to preload should check free space carefully and update graphics drivers beforehand. The listed frame rates assume upscaling is enabled, so native resolution play will likely demand stronger hardware than the official charts suggest.
