Phantom Blade Zero: You’ll Need a More Powerful Setup Just for the More Impressive Graphics!

S-Game’s upcoming title, which is finally set to be released soon, will have relatively reasonable system requirements.

 

Let’s take a look at the system requirements that were announced after pre-orders opened:

Minimum System Requirements – 1080p/30 FPS, With Upscaling Enabled

Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K/AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 (6 GB VRAM)/AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT (8 GB VRAM)
DirectX: DX12
SSD required
(Operating system and storage size not specified)

Recommended System Requirements – 1440p/60 FPS, With Upscaling Enabled

Processor: Intel Core i5-10600K/AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (8 GB VRAM)/AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (12 GB VRAM)
DirectX: DX12
SSD required
(Operating system and storage size not specified)

Recommended System Requirements for Ray Tracing – 1080p/60 FPS, With Upscaling Enabled

Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 (8 GB VRAM)

Recommended System Requirements for Path Tracing – 4K/60 FPS, With Upscaling Enabled

Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 (16 GB VRAM)

After all, S-Game promised players that they wouldn’t be forced to upgrade their hardware in the extremely expensive market environment caused by the notorious shortage of components. In terms of supported upscaling technologies, we already know that Phantom Blade Zero will support Nvidia DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and Multi Frame Generation. However, S-Game made no mention of AMD FSR or Intel XeSS. Although hardware-accelerated ray tracing was confirmed years ago, the system requirements reveal that Phantom Blade Zero will also support full-fledged path tracing on PC. This will undoubtedly be the optimal gaming experience, whereas PlayStation 5 users will have to compromise. The developer has also confirmed that there will be PlayStation 5 Pro-specific enhancements, although they have not yet clarified what these will entail. If they’re announced, we’ll cover them in the news – perhaps after State of Play, since there will be one for this as well.

Phantom Blade Zero is set to launch on October 29 for PlayStation 5 and PC.
