Phantom Blade Zero PC System Requirements (Official)
The four official hardware tiers with target resolution, frame rate and upscaling caveats — plus what the page deliberately does not claim.
Quick Answer
Official tiers: Minimum (GTX 1660, 1080p/30), Recommended (RTX 3060 Ti, 1440p/60), Ray Tracing (RTX 5060, 1080p/60) and Path Tracing (RTX 5080, 4K/60) — all 'with upscaling enabled', 16GB RAM and an SSD required.
How to read this page
These are the developer’s own tiers (published August 12, 2026), and every frame-rate target carries the same official caveat: “with upscaling enabled.” They are targets, not benchmarks — no one can tell you what a card outside these tiers will do, and this page will not guess.
The four official tiers
| Tier | CPU | GPU | Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | i7-8700K / R5 3600 | GTX 1660 6GB / RX 5500 XT 8GB | 1080p · 30 FPS |
| Recommended | i5-10600K / R5 5600X | RTX 3060 Ti 8GB / RX 6700 XT 12GB | 1440p · 60 FPS |
| Ray Tracing | — | RTX 5060 8GB | 1080p · 60 FPS |
| Path Tracing | — | RTX 5080 16GB | 2160p · 60 FPS |
All tiers: Windows 10/11 64-bit, DirectX 12, 16 GB RAM, SSD required, and the frame targets assume upscaling is enabled.
What is explicitly unknown
- Install size: the page mandates an SSD but states no GB figure. Any “requires X GB” number you see elsewhere is a guess.
- Real-world performance on other hardware, handhelds or cloud placements — not covered by this table.
