Stellar Blade is a popular game from the studio Shift Up. Released in April 2024, it’s an action-adventure game where you play as Eve, on her quest to retake Earth from the alien Naytibas. It is a PS5 exclusive (the PC port is planned, but the remaining details are still unknown) and was positively received by players and critics, having an 81/100 score on Metacritic and having sold over one million units in just two months. The game is still popular today, months after its release, and now, with the official release of Sony’s newest console, PlayStation 5 Pro, getting closer and closer, the latest patch makes sure that Stellar Blade gets the PS5 Pro support tag.
