Stellar Blade Stands Out as a Top PS5 Pro Upgrade, Says Digital Foundry

The tech gurus over at Digital Foundry have put together an in-depth video review of their experience with Stellar Blade on the PS5 Pro, and they’re seriously impressed. They’ve even gone so far as to describe it as ‘one of the best upgrades we’ve seen.’

The video, which you can catch below, runs for nearly 13 minutes. However, if you’re looking for a quick takeaway, here’s the gist: Stellar Blade’s performance on the PS5 Pro is outstanding.

Digital Foundry praises the game as a prime example of how PSSR (PlayStation Super Sampling Renderer) should be utilized. In the past, we’ve seen other titles struggle with this technology, but Shift Up nailed it. They’ve crafted a game that not only looks stunning but also runs significantly smoother than before. The timing of this is perfect too, as new updates have just rolled out, introducing exciting features and a cool crossover between Stellar Blade and Nier Automata.

Originally launched for the PS5 in April 2024, Stellar Blade has been making waves. For those who haven’t read it yet, our full review is available on our site. The game recently snagged an impressive seven awards at the Korean Game Awards. In addition to this, Shift Up added a quirky feature in a recent Photo Mode update where Eve playfully kicks the camera away if you try to sneak a peek up her skirt—just a fun little detail that keeps things fresh.
