Stellar Blade on PC has just received a significant update, version 1.20. It’s packed with various technical refinements, new features, and additional player benefits. Weighing approximately 4.9 GB, this update introduces the option to begin directly in Hard Mode. Previously, this mode was an unlockable feature. Additionally, seven new songs have been added. These can be found at The Last Gulp in Xion City, serving as a token of appreciation for player support. The update also resolves a number of persistent issues. This includes fixes for missions like “Where’s the Fantastic Bait” and intermittent glitches affecting EVE’s weapon during the NIKKE minigame. Furthermore, issues with Photo Mode, certain combat encounters, and outfit customization have also been resolved. Even the graphics settings menu has received a visual overhaul. It now more clearly displays current VRAM usage and the maximum available amount. What’s more, a new system has been implemented to assist with corrupted file recovery. Stellar Blade initially launched on PlayStation 5 in 2024. However, its PC release occurred just last month, and the results are impressive: It quickly surpassed one million units sold within days of its launch. Shift Up has not yet made any official announcements regarding other console versions. However, they are reportedly considering porting it to the Nintendo Switch 2.
