Pre-Orders, Availability & a Small Caveat
Pre-orders are now live on Steam and the Epic Games Store, with a global launch scheduled for June 11. Some players may see it drop on June 12, depending on regional time zones.
However, there’s a twist: The game is currently unavailable in over 120 regions on Steam, reportedly due to the lack of PlayStation Network support in those countries. While Shift Up has clarified that a PSN account is not required to play the game on PC, a bonus costume is available if you choose to link one—possibly contributing to the restriction.
Still, for the majority of players, the gates are wide open—and anticipation is sky-high.
Final Thoughts
With stunning visuals, tight action, and a heroine you can’t help but root for, Stellar Blade is set to make waves on PC. Whether you're a veteran PlayStation fan eager to revisit Eve’s journey or a first-timer ready to dive in, June 11th is your chance to experience the definitive edition of this breakout hit.
Suit up. Slash hard. Save humanity.
