Phantom Blade Zero launches with viral weapon-clash sound settings
S-Game's wuxia action title is out on PS5 and PC, and players are sharing a tip for tuning the pitch and volume of weapon clash audio.
S-Game released Phantom Blade Zero on October 29, 2026 for PS5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, with Japanese language support included. Shortly after launch, attention turned to a detail in the game's audio options: weapon clash sound effects can be adjusted separately from the overall volume and SE settings.
According to automaton-media.com, the weapon clash volume can be set anywhere from +9 to -9, while the pitch runs from 0 to 100. Higher pitch values produce a brighter metallic sound.
An X post from an overseas user recommending pitch 80 at maximum volume spread widely, drawing about 480,000 impressions and more than 5,000 likes.
In October 2026, S-Game announced that Phantom Blade Zero had surpassed 700,000 concurrent users on Steam.
