The highly acclaimed Stellar Blade is set to make its debut on PC on June 11, following a successful launch on PS5 in April of the previous year. This release is timely, coinciding with a system update that promises new outfits and a wealth of “exciting additional content” for players on both platforms.
Enhanced Graphics and Performance
The PC version of Stellar Blade boasts several graphical enhancements designed to elevate the gaming experience. It features support for NVIDIA DLSS 4, which offers advanced resolution scaling and frame generation, as well as NVIDIA DLAA for improved image quality and NVIDIA Reflex to minimize latency. Additionally, the game is compatible with AMD FSR 3, allowing players to unlock frame rates tailored to their specific hardware configurations. Notably, it accommodates both 21:9 and 32:9 ultrawide resolutions, catering to a range of display preferences.

Originally a PS5 exclusive, the PC version of Stellar Blade is designed to be fully compatible with the iconic DualSense controller, enabling players to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger functionalities. For those who prefer alternative input methods, the game offers extensive customization options for gamepads, keyboards, and mice.
System Requirements and Industry Trends
In terms of system requirements, Sony suggests a minimum of 16GB of RAM, an Intel Core i5 processor, and a GeForce GTX 1060 for those looking to enjoy the game at its lowest settings. This recommendation reflects the growing trend of major gaming titles transitioning from exclusivity to broader accessibility.
As we navigate this evolving landscape, it’s evident that we now inhabit a post-exclusive era. Sony has been steadily expanding its portfolio of first-party games available on PC, with notable titles such as Marvel’s Spider-Man, its sequel, God of War Ragnarök, and Horizon Zero Dawn paving the way for this shift.
