Phantom Blade Zero editions: Standard vs Deluxe, what pre-ordering actually gets you, and where the physical disc stands

By DayOneFix Editorial · September 4, 2026

There are exactly two ways to buy Phantom Blade Zero, and both are digital. The Standard Edition is $59.99 and the Digital Deluxe Edition is $69.99 on the PlayStation Store, Steam and the Epic Games Store — S-GAME’s official site lists the same two editions with the same contents on all three. The rest of this page is the fine print: what the extra $10 buys, what pre-ordering does and does not lock you out of, what the game costs outside the US, and the honest state of the physical-disc question.

Standard vs Deluxe

The two Deluxe outfits are the only items S-GAME describes as exclusive — the official site’s wording is “Exclusive Outfit”, and the pre-order guides that checked with the studio report they cannot be earned by playing. The artbook and soundtrack are in-game extras, not separate downloads. There is no season pass, no DLC listed on Steam, and no gameplay item in either edition.

If you only care about playing the game, Standard is the complete game. Deluxe is a $10 cosmetics-and-extras pack, and you can decide at leisure: nothing in it is tied to pre-ordering.

What pre-ordering gets you (and what it doesn’t)

Pre-ordering either edition gives early access to two items, in the PlayStation Store’s own words:

Accessory: Treasure Basin (Increases Remnant Dust drop rate by 10%), Outfit: Legacy. The above content can also be obtained through in-game progression.

So the pre-order bonus is time, not exclusivity. S-GAME’s site calls both items “Early Unlock”, and the PlayStation Blog’s pre-order post repeats that both “can also be obtained through in-game progression.” If you would rather wait for reviews, you lose nothing permanent by waiting.

Steam shows the same two purchase options (“Pre-Purchase Phantom Blade Zero — $59.99” and “Digital Deluxe Edition — $69.99”). We could not load the Epic Games Store page from here; the official site links to it and third-party pre-order guides report identical pricing, but treat Epic’s price as reported rather than checked.

Prices outside the US

The Hong Kong listing is the Chinese/Japanese/English/Korean multi-language version. The mainland China PlayStation Store has its own listing, published by Beijing S-Game Software Technology, which is unusual for a title of this scale and matters if you are a mainland PS5 owner: the game is on your regional store, not import-only. Steam applies its regional pricing per account region; we have not tabulated every currency here.

The physical edition question

This is the part people are actually searching for, so here is the state on 4 September, with sources:

• Nothing official. S-GAME’s site lists three digital storefronts and no retailer. The 18 August State of Play deep dive did not announce a disc. Kotaku asked S-GAME on 12 August whether a physical release was planned and got no answer before publication; the same piece noted that Sony’s pre-order trailer ended on the digital-edition PS5 model, which fans read as a signal.
• Retailers are listing one anyway. Play-Asia has a “Phantom Blade 0” PS5 listing with an English cover, and Twisted Voxel reported on 16 August that Play-Asia’s support told a customer it is “a physical game that includes a disc inside”, not a code in a box. A Taiwanese retailer lists “PS5 影之刃零 中文版” for 29 October at an estimated NT$1,890, with the explicit note that the price will be corrected once the manufacturer publishes an RRP.
• What that adds up to: an Asian physical version appears to be in the retail pipeline for launch day, from a distributor nobody has named, at prices nobody has confirmed. That is more than nothing, and less than an announcement. Chinese press on 13 August put it the same way — “no sign of a physical disc release so far.”

If you want a disc, the practical move is a pre-order with a retailer whose cancellation terms you have read, not a digital pre-order “just in case” — the digital bonus is earnable in-game anyway. We will update this page the day S-GAME, Sony or a named distributor confirms a physical edition, its regions and its contents.

Release timing, briefly

The PlayStation Store lists the release as 29 October 2026, 02:00 UTC — 10:00 in Beijing and Taipei, 22:00 on 28 October in New York. That single clock is why Steam’s US page shows 28 October. S-GAME has not posted a separate PC unlock hour; the countdown page tracks it in your local time and will record any pre-load window when one is announced.

Edition contents, “Exclusive Outfit” and “Early Unlock” wording, and the three storefronts are from S-GAME’s official site. US prices, the pre-order bonus quotation and the 02:00 UTC release moment are from the PlayStation Store Digital Deluxe listing; the “can also be obtained through in-game progression” line is repeated in the PlayStation Blog pre-order post of 11 August. Steam’s two purchase options and the 28 October US display are from the Steam store page. Hong Kong and mainland China prices are from the Hong Kong and mainland China PlayStation Store listings. The physical-edition status draws on Kotaku, 12 August, Twisted Voxel, 16 August, a Taiwanese retailer listing and Tencent News, 13 August. Epic Games Store pricing is reported by third-party guides, not verified by us.
