SUMMARY
- Stellar Blade is an upcoming hack-n-slash adventure title exclusive to the PS5.
- The game brings several benefits including a 4K mode at 30FPS and a respectable file size.
The upcoming character-action game, Stellar Blade, for a long time, has been one of the most anticipated games on PlayStation. After a few delays, developer Shift Up and publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment are all set to release the game in April 2024.
The game was initially announced back in 2020 and is scheduled to hit the shelves on April 26, 2024. Notably, the pre-orders for the game are currently live. And now the developers have revealed the size and the option to pre-load the game.
Stellar Blade file size
Apart from the pre-order of Stellar Blade on the PlayStation Store, the game’s official box art has also been revealed. The download or installation size for Stellar Blade on the PlayStation 5 console will be 35 GB.
Interestingly, it’s a reasonable space considering that the game has some grand semi-open-world elements and depth. Besides, it also comes with multiple graphical options to choose from to make the gameplay experience as rich as needed. Thus, the 35 GB space requirement seems fairly reasonable and not very burdensome on the SSD.

In addition to the space, it was also announced that the game will have an option to pre-load it prior to the official launch date. Players will be able to pre-load the game two days prior, from April 24, 2024.
The pre-load comes with the latest update pre-installed for the players who have pre-ordered a digital copy of the game. However, the day-one update is expected to be rolled out closer to release on April 26, 2024. Players who have purchased the game on disc will need to download the update separately.

Here’s how players can pre-load Stellar Blade on your PS5:
- Firstly, players must pre-purchase the game on their PSN account.
- Once the pre-order is confirmed, players must visit the PlayStation Library and search for the game.
- Then click on the game’s tile and choose Download.
- Once the download is completed, players can start playing the game the minute it is released. That is midnight local time on April 26, 2024.
Players also have the option to set their console to automatically pre-download a game before its release. However, it is important to note that automating the process of pre-loading games requires one to keep the console on in rest mode.
