Find out the answer to the question: “Is Stellar Blade coming to Xbox & PC?” in this comprehensive article!
Stellar Blade, the action-adventure title for the PlayStation 5, has become a highly anticipated game on the 2024 release calendar. The game has left gamers wondering whether it will be coming to PC or Xbox. Let’s find out the answer to that question in this article!
Unfortunately, Stellar Blade is a PlayStation 5 exclusive and will not be released on PC or Xbox Series X|S.
Originally called Project EVE, Stellar Blade was initially slated for a PS4 release. However, Sony became involved in the development of the title after being impressed by Shift Up’s playable prototype in 2021. The game was then renamed from Project EVE to Stellar Blade.
According to Stellar Blade’s Game Director, Hyung-Tae Kim, it was thanks to Sony’s help that Shift Up completed the game.
“I felt that I wanted to release a high-quality game on a single platform,” said Kim Hyung Tae. “And so when it came to deciding on which platform, I determined PlayStation 5 would deliver the most optimal gameplay experience.”
Kim Hyung Tae went on to add that his history with gaming truly began with the release of the original PlayStation, and that it played a “large part in shaping my personal values about games”.
Dongi Lee, Stellar Blade’s Technical Director, also shared that the team believed the fast loading of the SSD and adaptive triggers of the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller would increase the player’s sense of immersion.
These technical advantages of the PlayStation 5 further solidified the decision to make Stellar Blade a console exclusive.
One interesting aspect of Stellar Blade is that the game’s protagonist, Eve, was created using a 3D body scan of South Korean model Shin Jae-eun.
Stellar Blade has showcased various outfits for Eve, including one that has stirred controversy for being NSFW (Not Safe For Work). Players can expect to unlock a variety of attires for Eve as they progress through the game.
Stellar Blade joins the likes of Rise of the Ronin and Death Stranding 2 on the list of PlayStation exclusives for 2024. The game is set for release on April 26, 2024, exclusively for the PlayStation 5 console.
Stellar Blade demo release date will be on March 29th, 2024. PlayStation 5 owners worldwide can experience the game before its full launch.
While Stellar Blade has generated significant excitement among gamers, it will not be available on PC or Xbox Series X|S platforms.
The decision to make it a PlayStation 5 exclusive was driven by the developers’ desire to deliver a high-quality gaming experience optimized for Sony’s latest console, with technical advantages like fast SSD loading and the DualSense controller’s adaptive triggers.
However, Xbox and PC users might want to stay patient and keep the hopes up. We never know if there will be a change in decisions to finally release Stellar Blade to PC and Xbox in the future.
