Update: The new patch for Shift Up’s console debut Stellar Blade incorporates some new graphical features, some of which give protagonist Eve’s body physics a boost. The Korean developer outlined the full list of improvements in a post on social media earlier today.

Fans have since been testing out the results:

As detailed below, the patch also improves the way clothing reacts to the wind, and much more. To be honest, it’s surprising to see continued graphical improvements like this in a single player game, but we’re impressed by just how much support Shift Up is committing to the title.

Original Article: Korean developer Shift Up has released a surprise update for Stellar Blade, which brings some pretty meaningful improvements and features to the PS5 favourite. It’s important to underline, this does not include the Photo Mode functionality and NieR Automata content announced at State of Play earlier in the week – all of that content is due later in the year.

The big new addition in this 2.4GB update is the implementation of wind physics to more outfits. As you can see in the side-by-side comparisons below, Eve’s clothing will now react naturally to the weather, meaning gusts can lift the heroine’s skirt in certain situations. Previously, only select outfits operated in this way.

The update also brings some welcome quality of life improvements. You can now favourite outfits and accessories making them easier to switch between, and you can also top up your ammo much quicker at base camps.

Elsewhere, the slamming song from the summer vacation update has been added to the music player library, and you can also toggle the event in the Great Desert Oasis on and off, meaning it’s now a permanent addition; previously, it was announced as a time-limited update.

I don't care about anymore, they finally released the OST! I highly recommend everyone to give it a listen. It's easily the best sound track this year (followed closely by Rebirth). Also putting cheeks to one side, this game is amazing (personal 9/10) if people are still on the fench about, now's the time to dive in!

Removed - disrespecting others

@Oram77 Stunning soundtrack. I was lucky enough to get the vinyl.

While I have really enjoyed clearing my ps3 backlog this year (much more than I thought I would too)… man I can’t wait to get to some of these games that released this year, Stellar Blade being right up there.

@get2sammyb wait, there's a Vinyle (I'll be right back)

All we need now is an auto pilot mode

@get2sammyb can't beat a bit of vinyl 😁

@Oram77 It was limited to Korea, but I was lucky enough to be gifted it at the launch event in Taiwan.

Yes brilliant soundtrack for a brilliant game.

Korean and Chinese devs are showing the west how post release support should be done!

Is this getting ps5 pro support anyone know?

The hair physics seems a lot better too. Yes, I was looking somewhere higher than the skirt. I like long hair that float in the wind and don't clip through the body.

@Dodoo Yes, I believe they are adding several new modes on the Pro

@Dodoo Yes, it was announced at the State of Play this week.

Well, this is sure to create some 'fun' discussions on Twitter/X. Shouldn't be a big deal but some people will act like this is the end of the world.

I really think having EVE as main character did the game a huge disservice.

Its genuenly good game with surprisingly deep combat system, yet everything everyone ever manages to talk about is how revealing her outfits are.

@species but men like looking at women's bums though 😂

Now I can finally enjoy the story as it was originally envisioned

@Shalooda My wife's bum, not this. This sort of stuff is creepy.

Cant beat a nice "cheeky" little update.

@species It helped to weed out the moral outrage folks from playing, so I’d call that a good thing.

@species I've said it before and I'll say it again: if Concord featured the cast of Stellar Blade then it would still be going right now.

Sex sells. Always has, and probably, always will.

Yeah these people love there job alot 😆😆😆😆😆😆

Y’all really played a game for some arse shots lol I still haven’t played this game and don’t plan on it.

@Czar_Khastik I always look for your comments, you make my day.

Stuff like this coming back. Ubisoft going down.
The world is healing

For immersion of course.

Really need to pick this up at some point

State of Play.

@thefourfoldroot1 its an amazing game. You really should do.

@Max_the_German Thanks mate! Asses and jokes, what more is needed

It will be really cool of nier automata 2 is using this engine optimized for ps5 and pro 😃

As someone who was puzzled by the selectivity of the game’s gust of wind, this is welcome XD
Hopefully the Nier collab gives us more reasons to revisit.

Can't wait to play this game on PC whenever it comes out

Guess I'm jumping back in again, again

@thefourfoldroot1 The game is fun and it's definitely worth it. All the details and the cute outfits are the icing on the cake.

If this game had anything less than Eve as the main character it would not even have made the top 10 games of the year. I don't mind a bit of fan service myself, I am a human after all, but you will never convince me it would have sold as well with Aloy or Kay Vess as the lead.

If it were not for Eve and her outfits the game would have had the trifecta of modern video game deaths: "poor character design", "terrible writing", and so-called "wokeness".

Hmm, I'm glad I held off so far. Game's getting better the later I play it xD
This goes for a lot of other games too of course, but I don't typically like action heavy games, so I don't wanna play this more than once. Waiting until they are done with everything.

Removed - offensive remarks; user is banned

@get2sammyb Do you have a good hifi system? I am rocking some Acoustic Energy AE500s

@MrPeanutbutterz 😂 I suppose you could look at it like that , I see it more as harmless fun or an appreciation of the female form, like benny hill or the carry on films 😁

That 'gust' makes it look like she had baked beans for dinner

Great update

Such an essential update

@dskatter EXACTLY! Just look how the moral/woke mob review bombed the game because of her outfits! It's crazy!

@AhmadSumadi @dskatter

The outraged moral mob... Sounds like far-right Christian social media... 😆

Funny haha jokes aside, I'm actually glad they patched this. It's kinda funny to see Eve's hair react to the wind but her clothing stayed motionless.
Game is great and I can't wait to see what the Nier crossover DLC brings to the table.

@EVIL-C Twenty years ago, that might have been the case.

Looking at the people who are all anti-Stellar Blade? Not so much anymore.

Cool update, probably my game of the year here.

@Max_the_German @Czar_Khastik

Me too, mate, me too! I've been a fan of yours, Czar.

@species and your problem is?

@LifeGirl oldest profession in the world. Cleopatra built and destroyed empire’s around it.

Well, that's one way to showcase how they improved the physics. This ought to quiet the censorship rumors.

@lindos Well since youre asking, i personally find it distasteful. To each of its own ofc.

But my comment was more of an observation than a complaint.

@Bigumamiflavor Lol, I clicked on this specifically to see if he'd commented!

@HarmanSmith I appreciate it and it's always nice to get together on a sophisticated topic like this

Huh. This is actually pretty interesting…Surprised Sony actually let it slide. But I think it looks pretty cool and interesting to see how game physics have evolved. I’d actually play this if I could.

Are we saying the standard PS5 is so weak that it couldn't handle a simple giggle patch.

I mean Dead or Alive has been doing it since the PS1 days.

Let's just say Sony has asked developers to just add anything and call it "a Pro enhancement"

@get2sammyb @mcdreamer thanks both 🙏

Did this game ever / does this game run at 60fps on ps5?

@species i agree they should have had tachy as the main character 🤤

@Major_Player This is just a patch, not a Pro Enhancement.

A much welcome patch, IMO.

This is the update we’ve all been waiting for. Forgot the PS5 Boost, I’d rather the booty boost any day of the week.

@EVIL-C Far-right Christian social media? You mean far-left secular social media. They're the only ones who get outraged over sexy fictional women in video games.

You know it's 2024 right and not the 80s? You're literally 40 years in the past... that's nearly half a century ago. Next you'll be telling me about the puritans from 400 years ago 🤣

Hmm, maybe I shouldn't cancel my ps5 pro pre order?

@danzoEX
A lot of people did, the game was a runaway success. It's kind of funny seeing a crowd of people enjoying something and then one guy in the fringes shouting "perverts!" as if anyone can hear him.

@danzoEX Inaccurate. We played the game because it has a great combat system, fantastic boss design and a killer soundtrack. The arse shots are just an added bonus.
And you do not need to play the game since it's already a huge financial hit for the developer with or without your purchase.

Yeah, those are definitely physics. Both of them.

@Dodoo

The West still knows how to make good looking characters.

They still do it for all the male ones. They're all ripped and buff and good looking.

Didn’t Dead or Alive do this like 20 years ago?

Jokes aside but I actually like the ahem realism here.

@Hyena_socks They did yes but this looks far more realistic. Dead or Alive looked like bouncy rubber balls 😃😂

Nice "news" and "update"

@GreatAuk yeah they're adept at making a perfect representation of Sam Witwer in Days gone, callisto and even the force unleashed games but give western devs a female face model and it's like pinhead did the dbd mori on them, perfect example is the mass effect andromeda default Ryder's, the dude is handsome like the face model but female ryder looks nothing like her face model.

They just want you to get distracted during a boss at this point. Guess it's time to go back and finish getting that plat....

I'm happy for the one-handed gaming crowd, and more continuing support for games is always great to see, but I'll be waiting for more gameplay content to hop back into Stellar Blade. Because no matter what problems I may have with parts of this game, the combat is some of the best on the market!

@TimeDelayedGamer He blocked me a long time ago for possessing a reasoned, contrary opinion to his own. Have to go into private browsing for his insight, nowadays.

@Corc11 yes. There are 3 graphical settings: resolution, performance and balanced - performance mode and balanced both run at 60fps. I would recommend the balanced mode, especially if you can run it with VRR (not required), it's quite beautiful.

Great.. an update for creeps.

@Arnna how so?

I'm sincerely curious, how is this for
" creeps" ?

Jeez people are so narrow minded nowadays...
I thought the great social acceptance movement was supposed to broaden our viewpoints and understandings..........I don't think it's working

@McBurn This game was bug free at launch and fully complete though. They are only adding more stuff because it sold beyond what they expected.

@RedRiot193 I think Veilguard doesn't look good. But i'm not a DA fans nor i understand what the majority of DA community wants. So the game could sell well despite all the drama with the character customization.

@Arnna Adding more details with wind physics that interacts with clothes and more dynamic body physics are for creeps now?

I love these guys.

@Arnna
No, it’s an update for men and women who like T&A, which is perfectly human. Maybe try not being so judgmental.

@Arnna sex sells deal with it.

@PuppetMaster It doesn't look good. All you have to do is watch the first major battle of DA origins introduction to see the difference. Also it seems push square is too soft and are bothered by facts. Removed both our comments.

Removed - discussing moderation

@Zenos Hi Fi is a bigger weakness for me than gaming.. and thats saying something. I played in bands for a few years and worked in London recording studios before I cut my hair off and worked for IBM.
I wont bore you with its constitute pieces (unless your interested), but my current system is getting end game for me as Ive hit 60 now. Its about £25k of kit now.
AE500s are great little speakers, nice!

@Arnna I genuinely understand where you are coming from.
I am keen on playing this, but the over sexulisation of Eve has stopped me doing so. Im 60 now and feel little uncomfortable 'upskirting' even it is virtually.
I hear its a game well worth playing in its own right though and I believe once you are a bit further in to the game, you can choose more modest outfits which would make me feel less of a creep!

@Titntin You're "uncomfortable" looking at a fictional woman's boobs 'n' butt? Your male ancestors are looking down on you with puzzlement and disgust.

@RedRiot193 I got my comment removed again. sigh...whatever.

@Thumper
Yes mate, thats an offence irl for a reason, lol.

When an update is praised for making more panty lines revealed and making t*ts bounce more realistically you know your dealing with the hairy hands mob. Nothing here that affects gameplay at all, and its game play I care about.

Im sure my male ancestors look upon my attitude with pride. Theres a time and place for everything and Im far from being prudish in the slightest. I dont believe this level of titilation in an action fighter is the best match, and I understand why a female gamer would take umbridge with a bunch of males being trained to enjoy upskirting. Sexy potagonists, no issue. Updates to encourage upskirting and jiggle pysics only, are pretty creepy in a game thats got a lot more to offer than looking up the protagonists tush.

Im not spoiling anyones party, you play the game till your blind, ive no problem. But I do understand the feelings of a female who finds it creepy, and wanted to let her know thats a perfectly reasonable assesment. Or are we not allowed divergent viewpoints? Are we all supposed to be little robots parrotting the same viewpoint for fear we might not fit in?

@Thumper Don't bother mate.

@MikeOrator It would have sold even more wirh Aloy as the lead. You're tripping.

@Titntin Just gonna throw out there that there are a bunch of outfits in the game that arent revealing or sexual at all.

@BIG3 Yes mate, I mentioned that in one of my posts as I intend to play this game and Im glad it offers me that option. Thanks forpointing it out, appreciated 👍

@colonelkilgore Hi, could you please list the games in your PS3 backlog that you've cleared? I enjoy going back to my PS3 from time to time, and this year I've started and completed Folklore, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, and more recently Lollipop Chainsaw. I'm always open to recommendations for this underrated console!

@Foxhound yeah no problem buddy… and I’ve heard a lot of good things about El Shaddai… , what did you think of it?

So, I started playing ps3 games again a couple of years back as I had started a new profile on ps4 and got into trophy hunting… and started looking into the platinums for the ps3 games I used to like. So I started with:
inFamous 1 & 2
God of War 1, 2, Chains of Olympus & Ghost of Sparta
Metal Gear Solid 2, 3, 4 & Peace Walker
Captain America: Super Soldier
Lego: Lord of the Rings
Dante’s Inferno
Game of Thrones
Back to the Future
X-men Origins: Wolverine
Spec Ops: The Line
Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Asura’s Wrath
Red Faction: Armageddon
Fallout: New Vegas
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Remember Me
The Saboteur
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
GTA IV
Prince of Persia
Dead Space
Alpha Protocol
Rage
Final Fantasy XIII

then the ones I have left but intend on playing by 2025 are:

Alice: Madness Returns
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2
Brutal Legend
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Dead Space 2 & 3
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

(& I do then have a few more that I won’t get done this year but will play over the next few years 😅)

Mods are bitches
