## Summary

S-Game says its debut action game, Phantom Blade Zero, sold more than four million copies in its first 72 hours. The strong opening makes it Steam’s biggest launch of the year so far, though the total includes sales across PlayStation 5, Steam and China’s WeGame PC launcher.

The game reached a peak of 833,921 concurrent players on Steam, after launching with more than 431,000. Its sales figure has no platform breakdown, and it has not yet matched Black Myth: Wukong, which peaked at 2,415,714 concurrent players and is estimated to have sold 30 million copies. A pre-launch analyst estimate put Phantom Blade Zero above one million sales.
