Shift Up made a splash with Stellar Blade in 2024, bringing a fast-paced action game to PlayStation 5. Now, PC players are going to be able to jump in and explore a ruined Earth with EVE.
It's the latest in a growing list of PlayStation Studios games on Windows PC and so, if you want to play Stellar Blade on PC, it's time to check the requirements and make sure your system is ready.
Stellar Blade — PC requirements and specs
Shift Up has provided the PC requirements for Stellar Blade, giving details on the kind of hardware that it'll take to run the game at varying quality levels.
