Stellar Blade on PS5 Pro: a simple but hugely effective upgrade


Stellar Blade has received a PS5 Pro upgrade, and it transforms the game into one of the best-looking on the platform. Here's John Linneman for Digital Foundry.

This game impressed when it launched on PS5 in April this year, but its slick action and stunning locales were let down somewhat by inconsistent performance and poor image quality. PSSR isn't a magic bullet - we've seen that from some slightly problematic appearances in Silent Hill 2 and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor- but thankfully it works well in Stellar Blade. The photo mode is great, requiring a press of R1 and d-pad left to activate and letting you take stills or even cool panning clips for videos - neat.
