If you've been following the buzz around Stellar Blade, you'll be thrilled to hear that its PC version is finally launching on June 11 via Steam. This highly anticipated release is accompanied by a host of PC-exclusive features, as revealed in an official trailer accidentally leaked by Sony itself. Although the video was quickly pulled from the PlayStation YouTube channel, it didn’t stay hidden for long—internet sleuths have already captured it, and an official release seems imminent.
The trailer showcases a Complete Edition of Stellar Blade, developed by Shift Up. This edition bundles the base game along with all the DLC released so far for both PS5 and PC. Interestingly, this announcement lands over a year after Stellar Blade’s successful debut on PS5 in April 2024.
As expected, the PC version of Stellar Blade boasts several cutting-edge features tailored for gamers seeking the ultimate experience. These include AI-driven upscaling via Nvidia DLSS 4 and AMD FSR 3, an unrestricted frame rate, support for Japanese and Chinese voiceovers, ultrawide monitor compatibility, enhanced environmental textures in higher resolutions, and immersive DualSense functionality for haptic feedback and trigger effects.
The trailer also teases a brand-new boss fight against Mann, the leader of the Sentinels, and introduces 25 fresh costumes, likely intended for both PS5 and PC players. Observant viewers have noted a pivotal moment at the end of the trailer where Eve releases a memory stick—a scene absent from the base game. This has sparked speculation about potential new endings or upcoming DLC.

Stellar Blade has been a resounding success for Shift Up, generating $43 million in royalties during its last fiscal year. The developer anticipates the PC version will surpass the PS5’s impressive sales of over 1 million copies within two months. Additionally, there are whispers of plans for a sequel in the series, indicating Shift Up’s confidence in its future.
Players assume the role of Eve in this fast-paced action RPG, battling mysterious invaders to restore Earth. While Stellar Blade received a solid 7/10 review from IGN, it captivated audiences worldwide, selling millions of copies almost instantly. Critics praised its core gameplay mechanics but pointed out shortcomings in character development, storytelling, and certain RPG elements.
For fans eager to dive into Stellar Blade's universe with enhanced visuals and controls, the PC version is undoubtedly worth the wait.
