Earlier this week, it emerged and then was verified that Stellar Blade, the game with a style reminiscent of Nier and Bayonetta, complete with exaggerated jiggle physics, is set to release for PC next month, specifically on June 11th. This news was met with enthusiasm by those who appreciate such games (a hint of neutrality in my tone). However, it soon came to light that there’s a catch: the action game isn’t open for pre-order in all regions on Steam.
Previously, you might have noticed that many Sony-published games on Steam weren’t accessible globally due to the inconvenient PSN requirement. Fortunately, Sony eased up on this restriction earlier this year. However, it’s puzzling why Stellar Blade isn’t available worldwide, given this change. It seems even the developers themselves are perplexed about this situation, as they mentioned in a recent tweet that they are actively discussing the regional lock issues with the publisher and are working hard to resolve them swiftly.
1. We’re diligently working with the publisher to address the region lock problem and are doing our UTMOST to iron out many of these issues as swiftly as we can.
2. The DRM settings in the following test chart have been carefully calibrated to ensure a consistent average frame rate, with some instances even boosting the minimum frames…

They additionally made it clear that linking a PSN account is merely voluntary and not compulsory in any way. This seems to be a response to the widespread criticism from PC gamers, suggesting that perhaps this situation wasn’t entirely within their control.
Beyond addressing the region lock issue, Shift Up also aimed to clarify that the Digital Rights Management (DRM) has been carefully adjusted to ensure consistent average frame rates and higher minimum frames in certain instances. Furthermore, all modifications will be completely supported without any limitations, ensuring a standard modding experience for this game. I assure you, no unusual or questionable visions are being pursued here.
