Stellar Blade is now available for PC
Sony Interactive has released for Stellar Blade on PC. The action-adventure game was originally released on the PlayStation 5 in 2024.
Stellar Blade was developed by Shift Up, a South Korean company, which was previously known for a gacha game called Goddess of Victory: Nikke.
The story Stellar Blade is set in a set in a post-apocalyptic Earth, where the planet has been abandoned. Players will step into the shoes of EVE, who travels from an outer space colony to Earth to save what's left of the planet. The game features fast-paced hack and slash combat, with combos, timing is crucial not just for attacks but countering the enemy's.
Stellar Blade now supports facial animations (lip-sync), and voiceovers for Simplified Chinese and Japanese. The PC version of Stellar Blade adds support for AMD FSR 3, NVIDIA DLSS 4 resolution scaling and frame generation, NVIDIA DLAA image enhancement, and NVIDIA Reflex latency reduction features, unlocked frame rate. It also supports ultrawide 21:9 and super ultrawide 32:9 resolutions, and is compatible with 5:4 to 32:9 aspect ratios. The developers have also released high-resolution background textures.
Players can use their DualSense Controller on PC for an enhanced experience with haptic feedback and adaptive trigger features. The game offers full customization of the controls for game controllers, keyboards and mice. The PC version of the game has some additional content, which will also be available the PS5 version via an update.
Shift Up recently announced a sequel to Stellar Blade is in the works.

@ SArmstrong.
It’s a big shift in sales strategy for a giant corp, Sony.
They usually don’t port their games to pc for 3 years, instead keeping them exclusive to their own hardware.
They don’t usually add DRM either. Denuvo requires an online connection or the game won’t run.
Myself, I don’t buy single player games that require an online connection, unless it can be easily removed, because there’s only one reason for that connection, to collect data.
“The story Stellar Blade is set in a post-apocalyptic Earth”. Yet another post-apocalyptic scenario. I don’t know about games but when it comes to the movies I’m just over-fed, saturated with the typically American scheme always based on the good and bad guys, with humanity facing evil and now increasingly the apocalypse, then the hero who’s an armored angel and saves the planet from dramatic issues.
America is for part excessively violent and for another part perhaps the most advanced society in terms of human values. The first part, violent, fears violence (gangsters are all paranoids) and enjoys anything comforting their idea that bad violence is defeated by virtuous violence : life is a jungle, the strongest survive. The other America is tied to values, smiles, empathy and … thinks on how to avoid rather than fear dramas to come because dramas would be the very lot of humanity as excited brains believe.
That peaceful America is the one I’ve known, spontaneous, dynamic, but fair, always fair, struggling for justice and equality. Far from mad extremists who fear apocalypse and wonder how they’ll manage to survive when it occurs, because it will occur, they’re sure of that given their existentialist paranoia. Meanwhile they bother anyone who has a minimum of brains.
The games like other media is the idea of the freemasons showing us the future they are preparing for us. If you see a lot of movies, series, games about war and apocalypse, you can be sure it’s intended to ease people into the idea so when such events start taking place, just like how we are now – on the brink of a massive scale conflict, people are complacent, not taking it seriously, thinking they will somehow get away, it’s all make-believe, they keep chasing the next carrot – new phone, new laptop, new car, new clothes. Everyone who says something outrageous is branded a crazy mentally ill conspiracy theorist and laughed out of the room.
Games like Blood 2 The Chosen, Diablo 2, World of Warcraft and many more are chock full of freemason signs and imagery. Their plots are subtle hints on what has happened in real life, is happening and is about to happen. In Diablo 2 you are Nephilim – fallen angels who are actually killing humans – the zombies, demons and monsters in the world are metaphoric representations of humans your character sees as monsters. Destroying the World Stone is another thing your character is coerced into doing without knowing why even. Even Tyrael, who is also a fallen angel Nephilim, says he doesn’t know what the consequences of that are, but urges you to assist in its destruction nonetheless. The three guardians at Mount Arreat are giving even more clues on this, but people are usually too blind and thinking they are playing some generic fantasy game.
All of those games are made like this on purpose. There is no coincidence in anything. When people educate themselves on this and learn what the symbolism is, they can’t help but not see the signs placed everywhere.
@Allwynd, “Oh almighty God, protect us from (…) and freemasonry”, this is what was taught in some — some – catholic schools a century ago. Conspiracy at its best, or worst rather, already, then. That mentality remained the intellectual basis of French collaborators commitment to Nazism.
We are all given free will by our God and we can choose what to believe and what not to, so you are free to believe whatever you feel. I think whatever is bound to happen will and soon it will become evident for everyone, I just pray to Jesus it doesn’t happen in our lifetime, because it will be gruesome to put it mildly.
@Allwynd, free to believe and free to act : nothing is bound to happen. If the reference is Christianity then let’s not forget the “Help yourself and God will help you”. There is no such thing as fatality. Life is and deploys accordingly to our behaviors, and that is true whether we refer to God, to religious precepts or to humanism. The trend has always been to consider the source of misery elsewhere than within ourselves. “L’enfer c’est les autres” (“Hell is everyone else”) wrote Sartre (not to approve it). We change not only our own destiny but that of mankind by behaving accordingly. Again referring to Christianity : “What you do to Me you do others, what you do to others you do to Me” to quote approximately a word from the Bible. So : let us stand up for our beliefs but, as well, let us live our lives accordingly is maybe a reasonable approach.
Tom, do you realize that this is 100% Korean game with the majority of audience coming from Asia?
Yeah, OK. How is this newsworthy?
