Stellar Blade receives PC port in June, PlayStation 5 version to get a content update

Stellar Blade, a triple-A adventure title made by Korean studio Shift Up that was released last year, will be getting ported over to PC. Originally a PS5 exclusive, the PC port now has a release date of 12 June, along with support for PC-specific features and new content for both PC and PS5. 

Take a look at the trailer here:

Play

The PC version of Stellar Blade will support NVIDIA and AMD's AI upscaling tech, specifically DLSS 4 and FSR 3, respectively. The port will also support an unlocked frame rate, which is a welcome addition as, according to the trailer, DLSS and Multi Frame Generation (MFG) can squeeze out as much as three times the base frame rate in certain scenarios (though this will likely depend on your setup, which we'll get to in a bit). 

You can also find support for 21:9 and 32:9 ultrawide aspect ratios, as well as high-resolution background textures through a 4K texture option in the settings. Shift Up has also done some legwork in porting the controls; DualSense is still supported via a wired connection, but there's also full key customisation for gamepads, keyboards and mice. 

New content in the PC release include a new boss fight and 25 new costumes, both of which will be made available free to PS5 versions of the game via an update.

As for what kind of PC you'll need to run this game smoothly, these are the recommended specs:

A quick side note, it does also utilise Denuvo DRM for piracy protection, though Shift Up has assured through a post on Twitter that it won't affect performance.

Pricing and availability

The PC port for Stellar Blade is set to come out on 12 June, and you can pre-order the game on both Steam and Epic Games Store (which come with some pre-order bonuses, too). 

The game will be available in a standard edition that costs S$79.90, and a Complete Edition that costs S$109.90, the latter of which will include exclusive outfits, in-game currency and the Twin Expansion Pack, which consists of NieR: Automata and Goddess of Victory: Nikke collab bonuses.

And though it seems like you can get it easily enough in Singapore, other countries might not be as lucky; the PC port is currently blocked in 130 countries (according to a report by wccftech), specifically countries that don't have access to PSN. Sony has not commented on this, and it seems like this has also caught Shift Up by surprise, judging by their response on Twitter.
