Can your PC run Phantom Blade Zero? (2026)
S-GAME's kung-fu action RPG, out 28 October 2026 on PC (per Steam). Its official requirements are unusually modest. A 6 GB GTX 1660 is the minimum, but both official tiers assume upscaling and an SSD, and the developer has published no 4K tier.
The short answer
Phantom Blade Zero needs a bare minimum of 6 GB of VRAM to launch. For a good experience you want 6 GB and a GTX 1660 6GB / RX 5500 XT 8GB at 1080p, 8 GB and a RTX 3060 Ti 8GB / RX 6700 XT 12GB at 1440p. VRAM is the hard wall — fall under it and you get stutter and texture pop-in no matter how fast the card is.
What Phantom Blade Zero asks for
| Resolution | VRAM floor | Recommended GPU |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 6 GB | GTX 1660 6GB / RX 5500 XT 8GBOfficial minimum: 1080p 30 FPS with upscaling. SSD required. VRAM derived from the tier's smallest listed card; Steam publishes no VRAM line. |
| 1440p | 8 GB | RTX 3060 Ti 8GB / RX 6700 XT 12GBOfficial recommended: 1440p 60 FPS with upscaling. No official 4K tier published. VRAM derived from the tier's smallest listed card. |
| 4K | No official 4Ktier published by the developer — we don't invent one. | |
Will your graphics card cope?
A green/amber/red read on VRAM only — enough memory to hold Phantom Blade Zero's textures at that resolution without thrashing. It doesn't promise a frame rate (that's the recommended-GPU column above); it tells you whether a card clears the memory wall.

How this is worked out — and its limit
The requirement tiers come from Steam store page (official PC requirements) — the publisher's own stated specs.
The green/amber/red verdict is computed from each card's real, fixed VRAM against that floor. VRAM is a genuine hard limit — under it, textures spill to system memory and the game stutters regardless of raw speed.
What it is not: a frame-rate promise. Two cards with the same VRAM can play very differently, and upscaling (DLSS / FSR) shifts the maths. We don't publish an FPS number because we don't run our own game benchmarks (editorial policy). Use the recommended-GPU column for the speed question, this table for the memory one.
