The Chinese wuxia AAA game Phantom Blade Zero has demonstrated impressive results since its release on October 29, reaching a peak of 822,361 concurrent players on Steam, according to Steam Charts data. This figure reflects the number of users online simultaneously, not the total sales volume.
Developed by the Chinese company S-GAME, this wuxia-style action game combines elements of Chinese martial arts, swordsmanship, and dark fantasy. The game was released for PC and PlayStation 5; the standard PC version in China costs 268 yuan.
The player count on Steam provides an early assessment of the game's PC audience, separate from its dedicated PlayStation release. Players control a character named Soul, who is a mercenary assassin accused of murdering his organization's leader, and he has 66 days to uncover the conspiracy.
