Play‑Asia says Phantom Blade Zero boxed edition will include Blu‑ray disc ahead of State of Play
Play‑Asia has told a customer that S‑GAME’s upcoming action RPG Phantom Blade Zero will have a physical Blu‑ray disc in its boxed edition, a detail that surfaced online ahead of a PlayStation State of Play showcase on Monday, August 17, 2026 (August 18 in some regions).
There has been widespread interest among fans about whether Phantom Blade Zero would be released on a physical disc. A Reddit user who contacted Play‑Asia shared the retailer’s response, and Play‑Asia is described in that post as one of the largest retailers for imported games in Asia. The retailer’s reply specifically referred to the physical game disc included with pre‑orders, while S‑GAME has not issued an official statement about physical editions.
According to the Reddit post, Play‑Asia told the customer that pre‑orders for the physical edition will include an actual Blu‑ray game disc in the box rather than a digital download code. The report repeats that Play‑Asia confirmed to a customer its Phantom Blade Zero pre‑orders include a physical disc inside the box. That retailer response is the source of the current reports about a disc release.
S‑GAME has not released an official announcement regarding the physical game disc, and followers of the title are still awaiting confirmation from the developer. The retailer’s message has provided reassurance to some fans, but no statement from S‑GAME has appeared in the material cited by the report.
Sony’s PlayStation is hosting a dedicated State of Play segment for Phantom Blade Zero on Monday, August 17, 2026 (August 18 in some regions), where nearly 20 minutes of new gameplay are scheduled to appear.
