It would have been a shame to let the news below sit without updating the impressive number of players who logged into Phantom Blade Zero at the day’s peak on Steam: 723,876. With such a figure, the title has now climbed to 15th place in the overall rankings.
It ranks 4th when considering strictly single-player games only, with the top three spots occupied by Black Myth: Wukong (2.42 million), Cyberpunk 2077 (1.05 million), and Hogwarts Legacy (879,000).
On Twitch, no fewer than 146,000 viewers are tuned in at the time of writing, making it the most-watched single-player game on the platform. It’s also the third-most-watched game across all categories, with the top two spots held by the highly competitive Counter-Strike and League of Legends.

Here we go! After a long wait, Phantom Blade Zero is finally available on PS5 and PC. On Steam, just a few hours after its launch, the S-GAME title is already receiving widespread acclaim.
Phantom Blade Zero has reached a peak of over 430,000 concurrent players on Valve’s platform, a number that’s expected to climb even higher in the coming days. For example, it’s outperforming blockbusters released this year such as Resident Evil Requiem (344,000), Forza Horizon 6 (303,000), and to stay within the same genre, Nioh 3 (88,000). Even Call of Duty only surpassed 227,000 concurrent users at the launch of Modern Warfare 4.
Furthermore, Steam reviews are "mostly positive", with 79% of the 3,373 reviews being favorable.
