After its successful run on PS5, Stellar Blade finally debuts on PC this June 11, opening the door to a much more robust visual experience - especially for those with high-performance hardware - as well as the ability to bring the game to portable devices such as the Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go.

New challenges and exclusive outfits
Both the PC version and the new update on PS5 include a new adventure for Eve with the following additions:

Impressions of Stellar Blade on PC
We had the opportunity to test the game on a computer with the following specifications:
- CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 285K
- RAM: 48 GB Kingston Fury Renegade at 8400 mt/s
- Graphics card: GeForce RTX 5090
- Motherboard: TUF GAMING Z890-PRO WIFI
- Cooling system: CPS DC360 Pro ARGB Display
- SSD: Kingston Fury Renegade PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2
- Chassis: C3 T500 ARGB
With this configuration, the game remained above 300 FPS in 4K with all graphic values at maximum. The fluidity and visual quality are impressive.
On portable platforms it also delivers remarkable results: on the Steam Deck, with default settings, it averaged over 55 FPS, while on the ASUS ROG Ally, in HD resolution and with 17W power profile, it remained above 60 FPS stable.
The ultimate Stellar Blade experience
The PC port of Stellar Blade not only delivers, but also takes the experience to new levels. The freedom to configure it in detail, added to the extreme performance on high-end devices and the surprising stability on portable consoles, make it the definitive edition of the title. Whether you want to squeeze it in 4K at over 120 FPS or enjoy it on the go, this version pushes the limits of what Stellar Blade can offer.
