A comprehensive guide on optimizing Stellar Blade for PC, covering the ideal settings that ensure top-notch performance and stunning graphics.

This article delves into optimizing Stellar Blade for PC gaming, providing recommendations for the best settings to achieve superior performance and graphics.

In just a few hours, the highly anticipated PC release of Stellar Blade will be available. Previously exclusive to PlayStation, this game was one of the most significant launches of last year, receiving universally positive feedback from both critics and gamers. Interestingly, it marked Shift Up’s debut in the Triple-A gaming industry, a fact that took many by surprise.

Indeed, Stellar Blade, with its stunning graphics, captivating storyline, and exceptional combat mechanics, stood out as one of the top games in 2024. Now, it’s coming to your PCs! Remarkably, even though it was built using Unreal Engine 4, Stellar Blade runs exceptionally smoothly on our computers.

If you’re intending to play Stellar Blade on an older system with less VRAM, achieving 60fps is achievable with just a few graphic adjustments. You’ll find these changes in the game’s graphics settings. To guide you through the process, here’s a comprehensive PC optimization guide for Stellar Blade.

Please take note that this tutorial is designed based on the Stellar Blade demonstration, which shares the same fundamental features and configurations with the final product. As soon as we obtain the retail version of Stellar Blade, we will revise this guide accordingly.

Best Settings for Stellar Blade PC

Similar to many games built with Unreal Engine 4, Stellar Blade heavily relies on the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), leaving minimal influence on the Central Processing Unit (CPU). This means that you can comfortably run the game at 60 frames per second or more, provided your CPU is a decent 4-core model or stronger. However, Stellar Blade does have a high demand for Video Random Access Memory (VRAM), even when played at 1080p resolution. In the demo version, we found ourselves exceeding the 8 GB VRAM limit on an RTX 3070 graphics card when using the Ultra graphics setting.

Reducing the level of environmental textures to ‘High’ effectively controlled the usage of VRAM (Video Random Access Memory). If your graphics processing unit (GPU) has 6 GB of VRAM, it is advisable to keep both Environment and Character Textures set to ‘Medium’. Otherwise, the game isn’t particularly demanding.

Here are the optimized and recommended settings to use for Stellar Blade PC:

Graphics Settings Low Recommended Ultra
Anti-Aliasing TAA Upscaling (DLAA or FSR Native) Upscaling (DLAA or FSR Native)
Environment Texture Medium High Very High
Character Texture High Very High Very High
Shadow Quality Medium High Very High
Volumetric Fog Medium High Very High
Ambient Occlusion Medium Very High Very High
Depth of Field Off On (can affect performance in cutscenes) On
