Phantom Blade Zero PC requirements: upscaling at every tier

Phantom Blade Zero, the wuxia action RPG from S-Game, comes out on October 29, 2026 on Steam and the Epic Games Store, at $59.99 or €59.99 for the standard edition. On console, it's only on PS5. No Xbox version has been announced.

The official Phantom Blade Zero PC requirements start with a GeForce GTX 1660 or Radeon RX 5500 XT, a Core i7-8700K or Ryzen 5 3600, 16 GB of RAM and an SSD. That gets you 1080p at 30 FPS, with upscaling on. The recommended spec moves up to an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6700 XT for 1440p at 60 FPS, and upscaling is still on. Ray tracing asks for an RTX 5060. Path tracing, for an RTX 5080.

No PS5 and no gaming PC? You don't need either. Shadow PC is a full Windows PC in the cloud with a dedicated NVIDIA RTX graphics card. Stream it to your TV, your laptop or your Mac, install Steam or the Epic Games Store, and play Phantom Blade Zero with a controller in your hands.

1. The PC version, on your TV

Phantom Blade Zero is made for a controller. Steam lists full controller support and recommends playing with one, DualSense included.

So take it to the sofa. Plug an Android TV, Google TV or Apple TV box into your TV, install the Shadow app and pair an Xbox or PlayStation controller. Your Shadow PC starts, Steam opens, and Soul's last sixty-six days play out on the big screen. There's no console under the TV and no tower next to it. The same PC follows you to your laptop or your Mac, one session at a time.

Phantom Blade Zero system requirements: minimum and recommended

These are the two specs listed on Steam. Both count on upscaling, and both need an SSD.

Minimum

Graphics cardGeForce GTX 1660 6 GB or Radeon RX 5500 XT 8 GB
ProcessorCore i7-8700K or Ryzen 5 3600

Graphics cardGeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB or Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB
ProcessorCore i5-10600K or Ryzen 5 5600X

StorageSSD required

Your PC falls short of the recommended spec? You don't need a new graphics card: Shadow PC gives you a Windows PC with an NVIDIA RTX graphics card, in the cloud.

2. 20 GB of VRAM and an SSD, ready to go

Even the recommended card, an RTX 3060 Ti with 8 GB of video memory, needs upscaling to hold 60 FPS in 1440p. On Unreal Engine 5, video memory is often the first thing to run short.

Power, the top Shadow PC for gaming, comes with 20 GB of VRAM and 28 GB of RAM. On our published benchmarks (high settings, ray tracing on, DLSS off), Crimson Desert runs at 48 FPS in 1080p on Neo and 69 FPS on Power. Phantom Blade Zero installs on your Shadow PC's SSD and downloads at up to 1 Gb/s, whatever your home connection does.

Is Phantom Blade Zero a PS5 exclusive?

On console, yes: Phantom Blade Zero comes out on PS5 only, and no Xbox version has been announced. It also comes out on PC, on Steam and the Epic Games Store, on October 29, 2026. Without a PS5, you can play the PC version on Shadow PC from your TV (with an Android TV, Google TV or Apple TV box), your laptop or your Mac.

Can I play Phantom Blade Zero on a Mac?

Not natively: Phantom Blade Zero is released for Windows only. With Shadow PC, the Windows version runs on a PC in the cloud and streams to your Mac through the Shadow app for macOS. You buy and install the game on Steam or the Epic Games Store, like on any Windows PC.

Can I play Phantom Blade Zero on my TV with a controller?

Yes. Steam lists full controller support for Phantom Blade Zero and recommends a controller, with DualSense and DualShock support. Connect an Android TV, Google TV or Apple TV box (tvOS 14 or later) to your TV, install the Shadow app, pair your Xbox or PlayStation controller and launch the game from your Shadow PC. All the steps are on our Play on TV page.

Do I need to buy Phantom Blade Zero to play it on Shadow PC?

Yes, the game isn't included in a Shadow PC subscription. Shadow PC is a PC, not a game catalog: you buy Phantom Blade Zero on Steam or the Epic Games Store, then install it on your Shadow PC. If you already own it on one of these stores, just sign in and download it.

Which Shadow PC should I pick for Phantom Blade Zero?

Neo suits 1080p or 1440p on a TV, a laptop or a monitor. Power gives up to 50% more GPU power, with 20 GB of VRAM and 28 GB of RAM, for a 4K TV or a high refresh rate screen. If you play a few evenings a week, Shadow PC Lite streams in 1440p with 120 hours a month and sessions of up to 4 hours. Every offer has a dedicated NVIDIA RTX graphics card and comes with no commitment.

What internet connection do I need to play Phantom Blade Zero on Shadow PC?

Shadow recommends at least 15 Mbit/s. For a sharp 1080p picture, aim for 50 Mbit/s, and 100 Mbit/s for 4K. A wired connection or 5 GHz Wi-Fi works best, especially on a TV box. The game itself downloads on the Shadow PC side at up to 1 Gb/s, so your connection only carries the stream.
