Phantom Blade Zero has drawn an estimated 500,000 pre-orders on Steam, worth roughly $24 million in revenue, according to estimates from Alinea Analytics. The figures were reported by Eurogamer.
Rhys Elliott, head of market analysis at Alinea Analytics, said the action game is outperforming Gears of War: E-Day and Control Resonant on Steam at the time of writing. China is currently its top market.
In October 2026, Elliott posted estimates that Phantom Blade Zero had 2.5 million Steam wishlists and was already outperforming Gears of War: E-Day and Control Resonant on Steam. Of those wishlisting the game, 41 percent had played Black Myth Wukong, 38 percent had played Elden Ring and 28 percent had played Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
