Key Points:
- Chinese developer S-GAME's debut console game, Phantom Blade Zero, sold over 4 million units on PlayStation 5 and PC within 72 hours, receiving strong user ratings on Metacritic, Steam, and the PlayStation Store.
- The game earned high critical acclaim, with Metacritic scores of 87 on PS5 and 88 on PC, and received a perfect 10/10 review from Francesco De Meo, who praised it as one of the best action RPGs of the generation.
- Phantom Blade Zero peaked at 833,000 concurrent players on Steam during its launch weekend, placing it in the All-Time Top 10 chart, though it trails behind Black Myth: Wukong, which peaked at 2.4 million concurrent users.
- Compared to Black Myth: Wukong's 10 million units sold in its first three days, Phantom Blade Zero reached about 40% of that pace, but its strong sales and reception mark a significant achievement for a studio's first major PC and console release.
- With positive word of mouth and critical praise, Phantom Blade Zero is expected to continue growing in popularity beyond its impressive initial launch figures.
