If you’re planning to play Stellar Blade on PS5 this month, you’ll want to consider which edition is the best pick. We’ve detailed the contents and pricing for both game editions on offer to help you decide.
Stellar Blade is planned to release exclusively on PS5 later this month, taking players to a visually striking post-apocalyptic world chock-full of complex combat and mystery throughout. While many eager players are awaiting news of a potential expansion to PC and Xbox down the line, you can dive into the game’s playable demo now on PS5. What’s more, Stellar Blade is currently available for pre-order with a handful of bonuses you can pick up in the process. Let’s take a look at the game’s editions, contents, and current pricing.
- Pre-order incentive items: Early unlock of Planet Diving Suit for EVE, early unlock of Classic Round Glasses for EVE, early unlock of Ear Armor Earrings for EVE.
- Stunning PS5 visuals: Explore vibrant futuristic environments, and engage with a cast of original friends and foes from the creative minds of the SHIFT UP team, led by renowned artist Kim Hyung Tae.
- Ultra high-speed SSD: Explore new locations, overcome powerful enemies, and encounter jaw-dropping revelations as you advance relentlessly through EVE’s mission with lightning-fast load times.
- Adaptive triggers: Unleash devastating yet graceful acrobatic moves, and interact with the technological remnants of an abandoned Earth using the DualSense wireless controller’s adaptive triggers.
- Haptic feedback: Feel the thrill of combat as your blade slashes its way to victory, with sensations enriched by the DualSense wireless controller’s responsive vibrations.
All Stellar Blade Editions and Contents
Prior to the game’s launch on April 26, there are currently two editions of Stellar Blade on offer. This includes the standard and Digital Deluxe editions. Naturally, the bulk of the additional content available comes with the Digital Deluxe, an increasingly widespread trend when it comes to new releases. With that being said, the standard counterpart for Stellar Blade doesn’t bring much to the table other than eligible pre-order bonuses and the base game itself. Here’s a breakdown of all contents and pricing.
Stellar Blade Standard Edition — $69.99
- Stellar Blade base game
- Any pre-order bonuses you may be eligible to receive
Stellar Blade Digital Deluxe Edition — $79.99
- Stellar Blade base game
- Stargazer Suit for EVE
- Half-rim Glasses for EVE
- Quadruple Rectangle Earrings for EVE
- Stargazer Wear for Adam and Lily
- Stargazer Pack for the Drone
- 2,000 SP EXP
- 5,000 Gold (in-game currency)
- Any pre-order bonuses you may be eligible to receive
Which Stellar Blade Edition is the Better Buy?
This one’s a no-brainer. The Digital Deluxe edition of Stellar Blade is easily the better buy, priced at just $10 more than its standard counterpart. While you’ll need to shell out the extra cash to score this edition’s exclusive content, there’s a pretty good selection of items and currency you’ll have access to, most of which is cosmetic. With this in mind, it’s definitely not necessary to invest in this edition, but I can’t deny it’s a fair buy.
Stellar Blade Pre-order Bonuses
Following the demo’s launch on March 29, you can now place your pre-order for Stellar Blade. It’s set to release later this month on April 26, leaving eager players just a few short weeks to get their purchase in. Luckily, there’s a handful of pre-order bonuses available to incentivize forward thinking. Here’s a look at what you’ll get when you place your order ahead of launch:
- Planet Diving Suit for EVE
- Classic Round Glasses for EVE
