It seems we aren't the only ones counting down the hours until the release of the PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade. Developer Shift Up has posted an impossibly drawn-out clip of the «secrets» contained within the game's PS5 physical box, which, as far as we can tell, amounts to a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for some cosmetic goodies.
Don't get us wrong: the variant cover, in particular, is certainly appreciated and perhaps even preferable to the game's standard art, just not something we'd generally consider a «secret». Regardless, the cool part is that Shift Up confirmed via the comments section that this will be the case in all regions, just as the eye-catching action RPG will remain uncensored in all regions.
It's always nice to see a developer include a little something extra for physical collectors, and the developer seems intent on making a positive first impression in the console space. Stellar Blade launches this Friday, 26th April, on PS5.
All of them
Does the prospect of a reversible cover push you over the edge into purchasing physically? Let us know in the comments section below.

Kinda wish the reversible had the ps5 strip. As it is, works better for a steel book case
I stopped buying physical, as much as I hate to admit it, but I do love when they make the physical copies with reverse art like this.
Haven’t bought physical in over 10 years, but when i see good art work on the cases i really miss that feature of physical. It’s really nice and they did a great job with this one.
Have the game already downloaded and ready. Do we know when reviews go up?
@DennisReynolds early downloads unlocked on 19th.
Stellar Blade review embargo is April 24th at 7AM PT/ 10AM ET.
Neat reverse cover, but rather generic, I'm hoping it's good though, I've been really anticipating this since its announcement
So ready for this game to be released.
Reverse covers usually have the better art, unfortunately they almost never include the game's title on the spine so there's no point in swapping it...
Unless idk, you want to identify the game on your shelf by an inch of ambient background.
I wish the reverse cover was the actual cover
I genuinely love the reversible cover's art work.
The marketing for this game has been absolutely
