Previously a PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade arrives on PC later this month, and to whet your appetite, developer Shift Up has released a demo on Steam.
Players can get a taste of the game’s stylish combat from the beginning, with the ability to carry over save data from the demo to the full game when it launches on June 11.

Now Playing: Stellar Blade – NIKKE DLC Reveal Trailer
The Steam demo went live on May 30, and user reviews are already “very positive,” with many praising its optimization. Steam Deck tests have also been shared online, and they’re largely positive. This is of course just a test of the demo rather than the final product, but it seems the demo is taking full advantage of PC features previously revealed with the game’s PC tech specs, including NVIDIA DLSS 4 AI-powered graphics and ultrawide monitor support.
The PC release of Stellar Blade coincides with the release of the Nikke DLC on PS5. This DLC will also be available on PC at launch for those who purchase the Stellar Blade Complete Edition, which also includes the Nier: Automata DLC.
Ahead of the PC release, Shift Up has also seemingly confirmed a Stellar Blade sequel from a recent company-presentation document, with a release targeted before 2027, alongside its next project codenamed Project Witches.
