Stellar Blade update 1.3.0 is now available on PS5 and PC with photo mode improvements and many fixes
Shift Up has released a new update for its action RPG Stellar Blade with version 1.3.0 bringing in photo mode improvements and many fixes.
Stellar Blade launched last year for PS5 and it released this June for PC alongside a major update for the PS5 version. Today's update has many fixes for weapons, visuals, and NPC interactions. While some portions of the update apply to either PS5 or PC, the photo mode improvements and a few fixes are for both platforms.
If you haven't gotten it yet, read our review of the PS5 version here and my feature covering the PC port on Steam Deck and ROG Ally here.
Stellar Blade is now available on PS5 and PC (Steam).
