The PC version of Stellar Blade is set to launch on Steam on June 11, accompanied by a host of PC-specific features, as revealed by a trailer that was briefly published by Sony on the PlayStation YouTube channel before being removed. The internet, however, managed to capture the trailer, which is expected to be officially released soon.

The trailer also unveiled the Stellar Blade Complete Edition, which includes the base game and all the DLC released so far, available for both PS5 and PC. This announcement comes more than a year after the game's successful launch on PS5 in April 2024.
Stellar Blade on PC will feature a range of enhancements, including AI upscaling with Nvidia DLSS 4 and AMD FSR 3, an unlocked framerate, Japanese and Chinese voiceover options, ultrawide display support, higher resolution environment textures, and DualSense support for haptic feedback and trigger effects.
The trailer further reveals a new boss battle against Mann, Leader of the Sentinels, and introduces 25 new costumes, which are expected to be available on PS5 as well. Additionally, a scene at the end of the trailer shows Eve releasing a memory stick, a sequence not present in the base game, sparking speculation about a new ending or potential DLC.
Stellar Blade was a significant success for Korean developer Shift Up, generating $43 million in royalties in the last financial year. The studio anticipates that the PC version will outsell the PS5 version, which sold over 1 million copies within two months. Shift Up is also considering developing another game in the franchise.
In Stellar Blade, players control Eve as she fights against unknown invaders to reclaim Earth in a fast-paced action role-playing game. The game received a 7/10 from IGN, with the review noting that while it excels in key action game aspects, it is hindered by dull characters, a lackluster story, and some frustrating RPG mechanics. Despite these critiques, Stellar Blade quickly sold a million copies and was well-received by the gaming community.
