What happens when a console-exclusive game with more physics than philosophy finally breaks free and lands on PC? Well, in Stellar Blade’s case, you get more boss fights, more outfits, and enough technical upgrades to make a NASA engineer blush.

Yes, Shift Up’s booty-bouncing, blade-swinging sci-fi slasher is slicing through the exclusivity barrier and charging headfirst onto Steam and the Epic Games Store this 11 June, according to a leaked-but-clearly-meant-to-be-leaked trailer that briefly appeared on PlayStation’s YouTube channel before being archived by fans faster than you can say “DLSS 4.”

What’s New in the PC Edition?

Think of it as the Director’s Cut, Deluxe Edition, and Cosplay Expansion Pack all rolled into one:

• 25 new costumes, because apparently, you need more combat-ready couture while saving the world.
• A brand-new boss fight with a character named Mann. Subtle.
• DLSS 4, FSR 3, ultrawide support, unlocked frame rates—basically, if your GPU can dream it, Stellar Blade can probably run it.
• Higher-resolution textures, multi-frame generation, and DualSense support—because stabbing aliens feels better with haptic feedback.
• Full Japanese and Chinese voiceovers, for those who want authenticity while appreciating the plot.
• Optimised for handheld PC beasts like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally. Yep, you can now take all that spandex action on the go.

Why The Sudden Shift (Up)?

Shift Up, the South Korean studio behind this blade-fest, isn’t just porting for the fun of it. They’re banking on the PC version outselling the PS5 one, and frankly, they’ve done their homework.

They’ve been snooping around the industry, analysing which console-to-PC ports were hits and which ones flopped harder than a Netflix anime adaptation. Armed with that knowledge, they’re promising a release that’s not just a straight port but an enhanced version—with proper optimisation, convenience tweaks, and some smart marketing sprinkled in.

Stellar Blade is no longer just a PS5 exclusive. It’s headed to PC on 11 June with more features, more fashion, and far more frames per second. If you missed it on console—or just want to see what ultra settings can do for sci-fi thighs—it might just be worth the double-dip.

Now if you’ll excuse us, we’ll be reinstalling Steam and pretending this is all for the gameplay.
