Stellar Blade Update Adds Photo Mode Enhancements and Fixes for PS5 and PC

by Ali Haider

Shift Up has released a new update for Stellar Blade, delivering improvements across both PlayStation 5 and PC platforms. A key enhancement includes upgrades to Photo Mode, where players will now see a control indicator when selecting logos. Several bug fixes have been implemented as well, including an issue that previously prevented players from exiting the shop after purchasing the ‘Polarized Sunglasses’ and a visual glitch affecting Eve’s hair in a final cutscene when wearing specific outfits.

Platform-specific fixes further refine the experience. On PS5, a camera issue during the ‘Demogorgon’ boss fight has been corrected for players with Ranged Auto Aim disabled. Meanwhile, the PC version receives a broader set of fixes, including UI responsiveness, lock-on functionality, save system enhancements, and visual improvements for fishing and training sequences. With this update, Stellar Blade continues to polish its presentation and gameplay following its strong reception on both platforms.
