Stellar Blade, the action-adventure gem that wowed console players, is making its way to PC, and the system requirements are turning heads. Still using a graphics card from 2016? Good news—you might not need to upgrade to dive into this post-apocalyptic epic. With a release date on the horizon, Stellar Blade promises to thrill a broader audience with specs that won’t break the bank. For more PC gaming updates, swing by Total Apex Gaming’s tech section.

Release Date

Get ready: Stellar Blade’s PC version lands on June 11, 2025. This comes straight from the PlayStation Blog, so you can trust it’s the real deal. Can you feel the excitement building? It’s not every day a game this big comes to PC with such a solid date locked in.

System Requirements

Let’s dive into the specs—Stellar Blade’s requirements are out, and they’re pretty kind to older setups.

Here’s what you’ll need to run this thing:

  • Minimum Requirements (1080p at 60 FPS, low settings):
    • Processor: Intel Core i5-7600K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
    • RAM: 16GB
    • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 580
    • Storage: 75GB HDD (SSD recommended)
  • Recommended Requirements (1440p at 60 FPS, medium settings):
    • Processor: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
    • RAM: 16GB
    • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
    • Storage: 75GB SSD

Want to push it to 4K at 60 FPS on very high settings? You’ll need an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT. But here’s the kicker: a GTX 1060 from 2016 can still run it. How cool is that? PC Gamer agrees, calling it a win for accessibility.

Accessibility for Older Hardware

What’s really turning heads is how Stellar Blade caters to gamers with older hardware. In a world where new releases often demand the latest tech, it’s refreshing to see a AAA title like this throw a lifeline to those with a GTX 1060 or RX 580. You won’t need to shell out hundreds for a new GPU just to enjoy Eve’s journey. This move could bring more players into the fold, creating a diverse community of fans. Techspot pointed out how these modest requirements stand out in today’s market. Curious about getting the most from your current setup? Our guide on Total Apex Gaming has you covered.

Additional Features and Content

This isn’t just a basic port—Stellar Blade on PC comes with some exciting upgrades. You’ll get NVIDIA DLSS 4 and AMD FSR 3 support for better performance, plus ultrawide monitor compatibility (21:9 and 32:9) and unlocked frame rates. On top of that, there’s fresh content: a boss challenge featuring Mann, leader of the Sentinels, and 25 new Nano Suits for Eve. Everyone also gets the Crimson Wing outfit for free. These additions, detailed by IGN, make the PC version feel like a step up from the console original.

Community Reaction and Implications

The gaming community’s response has been overwhelmingly positive. Social media is lighting up with excitement over the accessible specs and new features. Players are thrilled that their older PCs still have a chance out here. That said, there’s a bit of chatter about region locking on Steam, though the developers are working on it, according to GameSpot. Overall, the vibe is one of anticipation, and it’s looking like Stellar Blade could make a big splash on PC.

Conclusion

Stellar Blade’s PC debut on June 11, 2025, is shaping up to be a win for gamers everywhere, especially those with hardware from years past. With specs that embrace older hardware, killer features, and fresh content. It’s a release that’s got something for everyone, whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer.
