Phantom Blade Zero Put Up Some Massive Sales Numbers
Developer S-Game's action-RPG Phantom Blade Zero launched on October 29 and had a massive start across PC and PS5. The game sold more than 4 million copies over its first 72 hours. That works out to 926 units sold per minute or about 15.4 per second over the first three days. "Thank you everyone from the bottom of our hearts for all the love and support," the studio said in a social media post. https://twitter.com/pbzero_official/status/2117074929594298758 The 4 million figure counts copies sold across both PC and PS5--the game is not available on Xbox. The game reached a record of 833,921 peak concurrent users on Steam on November 1. The game's developer is based in China, and the majority of preorders for the game came from China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
