This only compares what you enter with the official numbers. It doesn't benchmark anything, and it rates a GPU only if S-GAME names it.
Phantom Blade Zero storage size and SSD requirement
The Steam store lists 145 GB of free space, and both S-GAME and Steam say an SSD is required. Leave extra room for patches: the 145 GB is what the store lists today (read 2026-11-10) and may change with updates.
What the official Phantom Blade Zero specs say and don't say
- Every target assumes upscaling is on. Native-resolution performance isn't stated.
- The ray tracing and path tracing tiers only name a GPU (RTX 5060 8GB and RTX 5080 16GB), both NVIDIA. No AMD card is listed for them.
- Minimum and recommended both list 16 GB of RAM. The step up is the CPU and GPU.
- Minimum targets 30 FPS, not 60.
The Steam store's own requirements match S-GAME's minimum and recommended tiers (Steam: "Intel Core i7-8700K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600" minimum, "Intel Core i5-10600K / AMD Ryzen 5 5600X" recommended).
Phantom Blade Zero on Steam Deck
Valve rates it Playable, meaning it works but may need some adjusting. Valve's test notes:
- The default graphics settings don't run well on Steam Deck, so expect to lower settings.
- Everything works with the default controller layout.
- On-screen button prompts match the Steam Deck buttons.
- In-game text is readable on the Deck's screen.
- First-time setup needs an internet connection.
