Phantom Blade Zero Requires 300 GB Free for PC Preload and 145 GB After Install

Developer S‑Game says temporary files force PCs to reserve roughly 300 GB on an SSD for the preload to complete.

Overview

  • S‑Game posted final PC specs on its official X account confirming the full installed size is about 145 GB but that preloading and decompression need at least 300 GB of free SSD space.
  • The studio requires an SSD to play and asks users to update NVIDIA or AMD graphics drivers before launch to help stability and performance.
  • Minimum and recommended system specs call for 16 GB of RAM with CPUs and GPUs ranging from an Intel i7‑8700K or Ryzen 5 3600 with a GTX 1660 at minimum to an i5‑10600K or Ryzen 5 5600X with an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6700 XT recommended, targeting 1080p/30fps and 1440p/60fps respectively with upscaling enabled.
  • Global preload windows begin Oct. 28–29 by time zone ahead of the day‑and‑date PC and PS5 release, so players should free space now rather than waiting until the store unlocks.
  • The 300 GB requirement exists because temporary decompression files and the full game must coexist on disk during unlock so freed space returns to about 145 GB after installation and players without large SSDs may need to move or delete files to play.
