We were big fans of it Stellar blade when it was first released for PS5 on April 26 this year, earning a brilliant four and a half stars. Us Stellar blade review praised the deep combat system, which offers a wide range of possible moves, in addition to the stunning set pieces and top-notch environmental design.
Stellar blade is one of the currently confirmed PS5 Pro games and offers special improvements to the platform. PS5 Pro owners can experience two additional graphics modes: Pro and Pro Max. While Pro runs at a buttery smooth 60fps, Pro Max offers 4K resolution at around 50fps. We’ll have to wait and see what kind of performance players will be able to get out of a potential PC version.
