- Phantom Blade Zero has received official PC requirements and is now confirmed to be using Denuvo DRM.
- This inclusion could upset players and impact the game’s performance on the platform.
- On the other hand, the official system requirements appear quite modest, recommending an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6700 XT for 1440p gameplay.
Phantom Blade Zero has picked up major attention for its fast combat and presentation. Following the latest trailer, many are more excited than ever for the game, but it seems to be skipping a physical release on consoles.
Adding to the unexpected news, the game is now confirmed to ship with Denuvo DRM on PC.
Why it matters: Denuvo is generally disliked and has a negative perception among the PC gaming crowd. This is why games that ship with the DRM often see backlash before launch.
According to the game’s official Steam page, 3rd-party DRM, Denuvo, is part of the upcoming package.
Of course, Denuvo should secure the game from piracy at release, but it could lead to performance issues. The game is also using Unreal Engine 5, and the pairing of this engine with Denuvo might, therefore, cause performance hiccups.
On the other hand, Phantom Blade Zero’s official PC system requirements point to modest hardware like an Intel Core i5-10600K and RTX 3060 Ti for 1440p 60FPS gameplay with upscaling enabled.
This setup requirement is interesting since Phantom Blade Zero is expected to rely on ray tracing and suggests an optimized experience lies ahead.
Nonetheless, many remain curious about Phantom Blade Zero’s end results on PC. As an action-RPG focused on twitchy responses and fast-paced combat, S-Game must not compromise on performance in any way.
Therefore, the game could suffer if Denuvo proves to be detrimental to its overall performance.
Are you buying Phantom Blade Zero on PC? What do you think about the PC system requirements and DRM’s inclusion?
