## Key points

- Phantom Blade Zero has passed an estimated one million pre-launch sales.
- Analysts estimate $43 million in revenue so far.
- Most estimated sales came from China, Taiwan or Hong Kong.

## Summary

Phantom Blade Zero is estimated to have sold more than one million copies before launch, suggesting strong early demand for the Chinese studio S-Game’s martial arts action game. The figure matters because it has already placed the game among 2026’s top 40 by revenue, despite being available only on PC and PS5.

Analyst Rhys Elliott estimates 850,000 pre-launch sales on Steam and PS5, with about three quarters of those on Steam; sales on Chinese platform WeGame lift the total above one million. He estimates nearly two thirds of sales came from China, Taiwan or Hong Kong, generating $43 million in revenue. Elliott expects it to sell well but not reach the scale of Black Myth: Wukong, which sold 10 million copies in its first three days and reportedly more than 20 million overall.
