A source-linked reference for the PS5 version, its display modes and editions.
Is Phantom Blade Zero on PS5?
Yes. Phantom Blade Zero was released on PS5 on 29 October 2026, as listed by PlayStation. PS5 is its only console platform; PC launched the same day through Steam and the Epic Games Store.[1]
PS5 and PS5 Pro versions
The PlayStation Store labels the game “PS5 Pro Enhanced”.[1]
Digital Foundry reports the same three display modes on both PS5 and PS5 Pro: Graphics (Quality), Balanced and Performance. PS5 Pro adds a ray-tracing toggle.[2]
| Mode | Internal resolution | Frame rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Graphics (Quality)[2] | 1440p, dynamic | 30fps | Best shadow quality; Digital Foundry observed it occasionally exceeding its 30fps cap |
| Balanced[2] | Between the other two modes, closer to Performance | 40fps | 120Hz display required; Digital Foundry found frame pacing unstable, and forcing VRR did not fix it |
| Performance[2] | 900p-1080p, dynamic | 60fps | Frame rate stable in typical play; Digital Foundry’s recommended first choice |
These are internal rendering resolutions measured by Digital Foundry on PS5; dynamic resolution scaling means the figures vary, while Digital Foundry identifies TSR on PS5 and says PS5 Pro appears to use PSSR.[2]
On PS5 Pro, the toggle promises ray tracing for shadows, reflections and global illumination. Digital Foundry judged the effect relatively light, with reflections the most visible element. Base PS5 has no ray-tracing option.[2]
Digital Foundry recommends Performance mode as the first option on both consoles, while noting reports of larger dips in later areas it had not reached before publication.[2]
Editions and price on PS5
The US PlayStation Store lists Standard Edition at $59.99 and Digital Deluxe Edition at $69.99. Both include the full game; Digital Deluxe Edition also includes:[1]
The PlayStation Store currently lists these digital editions only.[1]
Physical edition
Push Square’s Liam Croft reported on 22 October 2026 that S-GAME had announced a physical PS5 release for 2027. The news appeared as a stinger at the end of the launch trailer, rather than as a standalone announcement giving a specific release date.[3]
The announced physical editions are Standard Edition, Deluxe Edition and an Ultimate Edition with a collectible steel case. Those are the announced editions; the physical Deluxe Edition is distinct from the Digital Deluxe Edition sold digitally.[3]
No specific release date beyond the year, physical pricing or pre-order details have been announced in the supplied coverage.[3]
The PlayStation Store and official site currently list digital editions only, so a disc copy cannot be bought yet.[1]
DualSense features
Adaptive triggers: PlayStation says, “Feel the true weight of your Phantom Edges through the DualSense wireless controller's adaptive triggers, from the taut pull of a drawn bowstring to the heavy resistance of a cannon charging to fire”.[1]
Haptic feedback: the official description says it “delivers the visceral impact of every deadly blade clash and earth-shattering hammer strike”.[1]
Tempest 3D AudioTech: PlayStation says, “3D spatial audio lets you pinpoint incoming flying swords and distinguish the unique resonance of every clashing weapon”. Its footnote reads: “3D audio via built-in TV speakers or analogue/USB stereo headphones. Setup required.”[1]
PS5 system features
The store lists Game Help support and 1 player. PS5 and PS Portal cloud streaming requires a Premium subscription. It lists no online co-op or multiplayer mode.[1]
