Phantom Blade Zero Becomes Steam's Biggest Hit
Original: blade
Phantom Blade Zero, a Chinese action game, has become Steam's biggest hit, a development framed by commentary as a challenge to Western AAA games. The claim of a 'war' on Western blockbusters is drawing attention as Chinese studios continue producing high-profile titles that compete directly with major Western releases for players and sales.
Why now: A major Chinese game topping Steam highlights rising competition with Western AAA titles.
