Phantom Blade Zero is a fast, single-player action game from the Chinese studio S-Game, which develops and publishes it. Sony gave it a State of Play of its own in August, a sign of how much attention it has drawn.

It came out on 29 October, a week after Final Fantasy Resonance and three weeks before GTA 6. If you liked Black Myth: Wukong, the other big Chinese action game of recent years, this is the obvious next one. Unlike most big releases this autumn it costs £54.99 on PS5 rather than £69.99, and £49.99 on Steam, and there is no early-access edition. See our Phantom Blade Zero game page for its Steam player count.
