The upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive action game Stellar Blade will be missing a photo mode when it launches on April 26. Stellar Blade, developed by Shift Up and published by Sony, has been generating quite a bit of buzz lately. There's been a great deal of discussion about the game's main character, and beyond that, many have come away impressed with the game's over-the-top action. Many PS5 gamers are looking forward to Stellar Blade's release later this month, but luckily, they don't have to wait that long to play it.
The Stellar Blade demo is out now, giving PS5 gamers a taste of what they can expect from the full game when it drops at the end of April. In the meantime, more information on Stellar Blade continues to trickle out to the public, including info on some of its various features, or lack thereof.
While it's become standard in many modern games, it's unfortunately been confirmed that Stellar Blade will be launching without a dedicated photo mode. This revelation came from the game's developers in a recent interview with Famitsu. However, there is hope that Stellar Blade will add photo mode as part of a post-launch update. It was suggested that if fans really want the feature, it could potentially be added later on. Nothing's been outright confirmed, though, so those looking forward to Stellar Blade should certainly keep their expectations in check when it comes to a potential photo mode.
Photo mode has become quite a popular feature, but there are many major games that release without it, for one reason or another. In fact, this isn't even the first time a PlayStation exclusive has launched without it. As some may recall, God of War Ragnarok's photo mode was missing at the time of that game's launch in 2022, though it was added in a post-launch update that came less than a month after it hit store shelves. It's possible Stellar Blade could enjoy a quick turnaround for its photo mode as well, but fans shouldn't hold their breath.
We do know that the developers already have plans for Stellar Blade DLC and content updates. Notably, it's been confirmed that new costumes will be released for Eve after launch, with 30 available in-game on day one. If Stellar Blade is a hit, it's possible that the game could enjoy even more post-launch content updates than what's currently in the pipeline, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
