Shift Up’s demo for Stellar Blade, its upcoming hack-and-slash action RPG, is now available for PS5 players after accidentally going live earlier this month. Featuring the opening section, it sees players controlling Eve as she battles the Naytiba. The demo is roughly an hour long and outlines the basics of combat while featuring the first boss fight.
Stellar Blade's Physical PS5 Pre-Order Bonuses in Korea Are Stunning | Push Square
10.03.2024 - 10:48 / pushsquare.com / Hyung-Tae Kim
Pre-orders for physical copies of the PS5’s upcoming Stellar Blade have opened in South Korea, and the goodies are stunning. As spotted by a Shift Up fan account, buyers can choose between a vinyl soundtrack or a themed USB stick, with the former sporting some particularly fetching artwork. In fact, we’re not sure why this isn’t the box art, because it looks absolutely incredible.
The themed USB stick also looks good, but we doubt it’s going to prove as popular as the vinyl. It’s worth remembering that in a recent interview, director Hyung-Tae Kim told us there’ll be about 100 songs on the soundtrack, and many of them will feature vocals. A little under half of the songs have been composed by Keiichi Okabe of NieR fame.
There’s obviously no word on the vinyl making its way overseas, but we sincerely hope Sony considers it, as this looks like a great collectors item to own. Is this something you’d be interested in purchasing? Spin up your thoughts in the comments section below.

I don't even have a record player but I'd definitely get that!
@Futureshark Haha I feel exactly the same!
Now that is a pre order item worth getting for sure
Yeah it seems like a real missed opportunity to have that as the box art it would definitely get people's attention, I would also pick that vinyl in a heartbeat.
Damn! Just checked GAME and amazon UK and the only preorder bonuses are early unlocks of costumes which is a shame. Really like the look of that vinyl as well
I'm vinyl collector and that has piqued my interest somewhat
@MrMagic that would indeed be a much better boxart. I haven't known about this game, then that type of boxart would convince me of buying it.
I love waking up on a Sunday morning knowing ive got a whole day off, going downstairs before everyone else wakes up, making a coffee and going in my front room with the mood lights on and blasting some vinyl. This would make an excellent addition to the collection.
I love collecting vinyl records I'll never play

Stellar Blade feels more like a Soulslike than a fast-paced action RPG
Korean developer Shift Up first made a name for itself with mobile games like 2016’s Destiny Child, a turn-based RPG, and 2022’s Goddess of Victory: Nikke, an on-rails third-person shooter. Now, Shift Up is throwing its hat into the ring of AAA game development with Stellar Blade, an action game starring a young woman named Eve who is trying to reclaim Earth from an invading alien species. The developer’s first attempt at crafting a premium console experience is already much stronger than I expected.

Smooth Sailing for Xbox Exclusive Sea of Thieves As It Tops PS5 Pre-Order Charts | Push Square
Looks like Microsoft’s decision to port live service Xbox exclusive Sea of Thieves to PS5 is unlikely to land the company in choppy waters, as the title is currently making a charge on the PS Store’s pre-order charts. At the time of typing, the Rare sailing escapade occupies several spots on PlayStation’s upcoming best-sellers list, including the number one position above heavy hitters like Dragon’s Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin, and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
