Phantom Blade Zero Sales Hit 4 Million in 72 Hours, Reaching 926 Copies Per Minute

S-Game's action-RPG Phantom Blade Zero has achieved a remarkable launch, selling over 4 million copies within its first 72 hours across PC and PS5. That translates to roughly 926 units sold per minute, or 15.4 per second, since its October 29 release. The developer, based in China, thanked fans on social media, noting the game is not available on Xbox. On Steam, the title peaked at 833,921 concurrent players on November 1, underscoring its immediate popularity. While these numbers are strong, they fall short of fellow Chinese hit Black Myth: Wukong, which sold 10 million copies in three days, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which reached the same milestone. Phantom Blade Zero's success highlights the growing global appetite for Chinese-developed action games, with a significant portion of preorders coming from China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The game's Wuxia-inspired combat and cinematic style have resonated with players, positioning it as a major new IP in the genre. As the community dives deeper, guides and walkthroughs are already emerging to help players master its challenges. S-Game's breakthrough signals a bright future for the studio and the action-RPG space.
