Stellar Blade devs confirm PS5 players will get the PC version’s new boss fight and 25 extra costumes in a “free update” as the action-RPG escapes console exclusivity next month

by

Following an unintentional disclosure by Sony themselves about Stellar Blade’s PC launch date, we now have official confirmation that it will be released on June 11th, along with all the exciting features of this updated version. What’s particularly noteworthy for dedicated Stellar Blade enthusiasts is that the new content from the PC edition is planned to also arrive on PS5.

As a fellow gamer, I’m excited to share that the new content we’ve been working on will also be accessible on the PS5 console! So, if you’re a PS5 user like me, keep an eye out for a patch update. You’ll get this fresh content for free, right from your console.

We’ve introduced a fresh battle against character Mann, which is a challenging boss fight. In this encounter, you’ll need to demonstrate that Eve has the rightful skills by overcoming Mann’s strength in the Boss Challenge.

As a dedicated fan, I can tell you that this appears to be an extremely challenging end-game mission, and if you manage to conquer it, the reward will be none other than the tantalizingly modest Royal Guard Suit. Given its suggestive nature, I’d rather not share details here to avoid any potential misinterpretation by search engines.

25 extra costumes are now available for collection, which Lee refers to as additional prizes. These new outfits aim to offer even more ways to accentuate Eve’s charm, a feature that has undeniably contributed to the game’s enduring popularity over the past few months.

Regarding the PC version specifically, developers assure it will come packed with top-tier technical features such as ultrawide compatibility extending up to 32:9 aspect ratio and an abundance of high-definition textures designed for 4K resolution. Furthermore, it supports DLSS 4 and FSR 3 technologies that are anticipated to significantly enhance your gameplay performance.

Based on the game’s system requirements, it seems like you probably won’t require much assistance to perform well. The developers claim that a minimum setup of an i5-7600K/GTX 1060 can deliver an “average” frame rate of 60 FPS at 1080p, while achieving 60 FPS at 4K pushes the limits, requiring a relatively old GPU like the RTX 3080, which is nearly five years old.

As a gaming enthusiast, it’s heartening to find a gem like Stellar Blade that doesn’t demand an arm and a leg from my hardware. In a landscape where top-tier PC games are pushing even the latest tech to its limits, this game’s reasonable system requirements are a breath of fresh air. Although we won’t truly know how it performs until its release on June 11, the early signs suggest that it might just be the game I’ve been waiting for.
