Estimated Specs: Official system requirements have not been released yet. These specs are estimated based on the game's Unreal Engine 5 technology, confirmed features (Nanite + Lumen), and gameplay footage shown. Final specs may differ.

PlayStation 5 Version
On PS5, Phantom Blade Zero targets 1440p at 60 FPS with dynamic resolution scaling. A Performance Mode targets 120 FPS at lower resolution. The PS5 version includes haptic feedback support via the DualSense controller. Loading times are expected to be under 10 seconds thanks to the NVMe SSD.
Storage & Download
- Install size: Estimated 100 GB. An SSD is required -- the game streams assets from disk and will not perform acceptably on an HDD.
- Day 1 patch: Likely 15-25 GB. Pre-loading will be available 48 hours before launch.
- Ray tracing: Phantom Blade Zero uses Unreal Engine 5's software Lumen for global illumination. Hardware-accelerated ray tracing (RTX 40-series or RX 7000-series) provides sharper reflections but is not required.
- VRAM warning: At 4K Ultra textures, VRAM usage can exceed 10 GB. Cards with less than 12 GB VRAM should use medium or high texture settings at 4K.
