What to Upgrade First
Phantom Blade Zero runs on Unreal Engine 5 with heavy use of Nanite and Lumen for its detailed environments and dynamic lighting. Like most UE5 action games, it will be GPU-bound at higher settings. If you already have a PC and want the single best upgrade for this game, prioritize your graphics card.
A jump from a GTX 1660 to an RTX 5060 will transform the experience at 1080p. At 1440p and above, an RTX 5070 paired with DLSS gives you headroom for Lumen global illumination without dropping below 60 FPS.
If your GPU is already in the RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT range, check your RAM next — 16 GB is the floor for UE5 games, and 32 GB prevents stutters in asset-heavy scenes.
