Whilst the idea of Stellar Blade coming to other platforms like PS4 outside of its PS5 release, so as many players could enjoy Shift Up’s action-adventure game as possible is great in theory, the answer may sadly disappoint some eager Sony fans.
Nevertheless, I’ll take you through all you need to know about Stellar Blade’s likelihood to come to systems other than the PlayStation 5.
Will Stellar Blade be on PS4?
No, Stellar Blade will not be coming to PS4 as it’s a current-gen exclusive on PS5 – with no last-gen ports for the game currently announced, as confirmed on the FAQ at its official PlayStation page.
Although Stellar Blade was initially set for a multi-platform last-gen release back when it was announced as Project EVE in April 2019; on PS4, Xbox One, and PC; the game was shifted to be only on the PS5 when it re-emerged a couple of years later on PlayStation’s September 2021 Showcase.
Whilst we can’t ever completely rule out a PS4 version coming out in the future, the likelihood with PS5 exclusives becomes smaller over time, as doing so usually means technologically compromising the game to the point where some – if not a lot – of its evolved technical appeal is lost.

What’s more, since Stellar Blade went from originally being planned for PS4 to changing course for just launching on the PlayStation 5, this means that its compatibility with the game as it currently has likely already been considered and ruled out.
Nevertheless, if anything does change, I’ll update this guide as soon as I know anymore.
Could it come to PC?
Whilst there’s no Stellar Blade port announced for PC at the time of writing, this would likely be the next version of the game to come out, if not the only platform outside of PS5.
That’s because since Stellar Blade is published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, it fits under the ongoing trend of the company later launching console exclusives on PC platforms like Steam or Epic Game Store – following suit with those like Spider-Man (2018) & Miles Morales, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Horizon Forbidden West.
Although PC ports of PlayStation exclusives have had long lead times in the past, the publisher has made a point saying it would like to be more aggressive and speed things up to increase their player base far quicker.
However, optimising even a PS5 game for PC can take considerable time – just like what I found when looking into Final Fantasy 16 on PC. Be that as it may, I’ll update this part of the guide as well if any news pops up.

What about Stellar Blade on Xbox?
There are not only no plans for an Xbox version of Stellar Blade, but out of the three platforms on this list, Microsoft’s consoles are the least likely of all to get release of the game.
Due to the game being published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, essentially funding the production and launch of the Stellar Blade, it’s almost certain that the company will keep a tight lid on it, keeping the title solely in the PlayStation ecosystem when it comes to console.
Even if the Xbox Series X|S would be a technologically suitable home for Stellar Blade, Sony will almost surely want to keep it for themselves.
