Preload two days early
PlayStation Store backend data, reported on October 17, shows Phantom Blade Zero's PS5 preload opening on October 27, two days before the October 29 launch. Neither S-GAME nor Sony has announced a preload date.
134.8 GB on PS5
The same data lists a 134.8 GB download on PS5. Once the preload opened, the PS5 download screen itself read about 133.6 GB.
Older figures of 50, 80 or 100 GB that circulated before were guesses. On PC, the Steam requirements still give no storage figure, only that an SSD is needed on every tier.
