Stellar Blade PC Pre-Orders Now Available in Over 250 Regions Ahead of June Launch

On May 30, 2025, developer SHIFT UP officially announced that pre-orders for the PC version of Stellar Blade are now live across 252 regions, a major expansion after early access was hindered by region-lock issues tied to PlayStation Network (PSN) restrictions.

Despite Stellar Blade not requiring a PSN account to play, many players—especially in over 130 countries including Egypt, Vietnam, and Cuba—were initially unable to access the game. The controversy echoed the Helldivers 2 situation, where Sony’s PC port was met with community backlash over similar account-locking issues.

SHIFT UP acknowledged the frustration and confirmed they were working with publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment to resolve the matter. With this recent expansion, most of the previous restrictions appear to have been lifted.

The news was shared via the official Stellar Blade account on X (formerly Twitter), with CEO Kim Hyung Tae celebrating the milestone by posting a promotional video created using the latest AI tool VEO 3.

Launch Details

• Release Date: June 11, 2025

About Stellar Blade

Developed by Seoul-based SHIFT UP, Stellar Blade is a stylish action-adventure game set in a post-apocalyptic Earth overrun by grotesque creatures known as NA:tives. Players take on the role of Eve, a warrior sent to reclaim humanity’s place on the planet.

Originally launched in April 2024 as a PS5 exclusive, the game received critical praise for its:
