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 inadvertently leaked by Sony. This trailer, initially published by Sony Interactive Entertainment on the PlayStation YouTube channel and later removed, showcased not only the PC version but also a Complete Edition of Shift Up's acclaimed PS5 action game. As expected, the internet quickly preserved the trailer, which we anticipate will soon be officially re-released.

Stellar Blade's PC version boasts all the expected features, including AI upscaling with Nvidia DLSS 4 and AMD FSR 3, an unlocked framerate, Japanese and Chinese voiceover options, ultrawide display support, enhanced environment textures, and DualSense support for haptic feedback and trigger effects.
The trailer also unveiled a new boss battle against Mann, Leader of the Sentinels, and introduced 25 new costumes, which are likely to be available on the PS5 as well. Additionally, eagle-eyed viewers noticed Eve releasing a memory stick at the trailer's end—a scene absent from the base game. This has sparked speculation about a potential new ending or forthcoming DLC.
The trailer reveals the Stellar Blade Complete Edition, coming to both PC and PS5. Stellar Blade was a significant success for Korean developer Shift Up, generating $43 million in royalties in its last financial year. The studio anticipates that the PC version will surpass the sales of the PS5 version, which sold over one million copies within two months. Shift Up is also considering developing another game within the franchise.
In Stellar Blade, players assume the role of Eve, fighting against mysterious invaders to reclaim Earth in a fast-paced action role-playing game. The game received a 7/10 score from IGN, quickly selling a million copies and gaining widespread popularity.
"Stellar Blade excels in the essential aspects of an action game, but its lackluster characters, uninspiring story, and some frustrating RPG mechanics keep it from reaching the heights of the genre's best offerings," we noted in our review.
