Few exclusives have sparked as much conversation (and controversy) as Stellar Blade, the high-octane action adventure that turned heads when it hit PlayStation 5 in April 2024. Now, over a year later, Stellar Blade is leaping beyond Sony’s console walls – and it’s not coming quietly. The newly announced Stellar Blade Complete Edition lands June 11, 2025 on both PS5 and PC, bundling fan-requested content and giving PC gamers the ultimate version.
When Stellar Blade debuted, the PS5 exclusive made a splash for its kinetic combat, sci-fi spectacle, and also the controversy swirling around protagonist Eve’s design. However, critical consensus quickly swung in its favour, with the game scoring 17/20 on French site jeuxvideo.com and an 81/100 on Metacritic – a solid showing for developer Shift Up’s first console outing.
The Complete Edition doesn’t just gather up what’s come before; it seeks to make Stellar Blade the definitive experience whether you’re a console or PC player. Here’s the sizzle: both of the game’s high-profile DLC crossovers (with NieR:Automata and Nikke), all pre-order cosmetics, a drone skin, and the bonus outfit are rolled in. But perhaps the real show-stealer is a brand-new boss fight and a wardrobe bursting with 25 new costumes – a boon for fans who crave both challenge and personal flair.
For those who already own Stellar Blade on PS5, there’s hope that the new boss and costumes might arrive via a free update, but official word from Sony is still pending. Either way, this is the most content-packed version yet — and for PC fans, it’s also the best-looking.
Shift Up is promising a robust PC port. Expect all the bells and whistles: NVIDIA’s DLSS 4 and AMD’s FSR 3 support for smoother frames, full ultra-wide monitor backing, and an uncapped framerate for buttery action. Voiceovers in Japanese and Chinese join the party, recognizing the game’s global fanbase. It’s a thoughtful upgrade that should ensure Eve’s post-apocalyptic journey feels right at home on high-end hardware.
While a leaked trailer briefly surfaced on PlayStation’s official channel (before being swiftly taken down), the internet wasted no time preserving it. It’s clear this is more than just a repackage. Stellar Blade Complete Edition is positioned both as a grand send-off for PS5 fans and an enticing invitation for PC players who missed out the first time.
It’s also worth noting that bundling DLC and offering technical upgrades is becoming a major trend for PlayStation’s former exclusives. Horizon Forbidden West, Days Gone, and God of War have all found renewed life on PC — but Stellar Blade’s cross-DLC collaborations and focus on new content set its approach apart.
There’s still a question mark over pricing — and whether PS5 loyalists will get all the goodies free — but this Complete Edition is shaping up as a blockbuster second act. If you missed the original, June 11 might be the perfect time to see what the buzz was about, on the platform of your choice.
Check out the official trailer for a taste of what’s coming:
Stellar Blade Complete Edition arrives June 11, 2025 for PS5 and PC, bundling all DLC, pre-order bonuses, a new boss, and 25 costumes. The PC version delivers top-tier visuals and performance. With its expanded offering, this marks Stellar Blade’s transformation from cult hit to blockbuster package — and sets a high bar for future PlayStation-to-PC conversions.
