The first reveal trailer for Stellar Blade was in September 2021. At this time, Stellar Blade was called Project EVE and the gameplay looks extremely similar to what we’ve seen in the demo version of the game. In 2024, Sony released an in-depth look at the gameplay in a new trailer, giving us insights into how Stellar Blade plays and performs.

Stellar Blade available platforms

As it stands, Stellar Blade is only available on PS5. There is no more information on whether or not Stellar Blade will come to other platforms, such as PC or Xbox. While not confirmed, we could see a PC port eventually, as is typically the trend with modern PS5 exclusives. With previous games, such as Final Fantasy 7 Remake, we’ve seen PS5 exclusives eventually make their way over to PC, generally being ‘timed exclusives’ for the console.
