Phantom Blade Zero could demand more than 130 GB of storage on PlayStation 5, according to a new leak shared ahead of the game’s launch. The upcoming action game from S-Game is scheduled to arrive on October 29, 2026, with versions planned for PS5 and PC. The reported download size could be an important consideration for players preparing to install the game on launch day.

The information comes from PlayStation Game Size, an X account known for tracking PlayStation database updates. However, S-Game has not officially confirmed the reported file size or preload schedule, so players should treat these details as unverified until an announcement is made.

PHANTOM BLADE ZERO COULD REQUIRE 134.8 GB ON PS5

According to the leak, Phantom Blade Zero will reportedly require approximately 134.8 GB of storage on PS5. The same information suggests that preloading could begin on October 27, giving players two days to download the game before its scheduled release.

The reported size means players may need to remove other games or move existing files to external storage before installation. Those planning to play immediately at launch should check their available space in advance, although the final download requirements could change before release.

Phantom Blade Zero has attracted attention for its fast-paced combat, wuxia-inspired setting, and cinematic presentation. Its reported storage requirements could reflect the scale of its visual assets, but the developer has not explained the reason for the file size.

Another question surrounding Phantom Blade Zero is whether players will receive a physical PS5 edition. Earlier reports suggested that a disc version might be available, but Play-Asia subsequently removed its listing and reportedly informed customers that a physical release would not be available.

As reported by Adrenaline, the retailer’s update has raised doubts about a disc release. However, S-Game has not officially confirmed the game’s physical release status.

For now, players can check the official PlayStation Store listing for the latest release information. The listed launch date remains October 29, 2026, while the reported preload date and 134.8 GB file size should be treated as subject to change.
