PS5 fans, great news! There’s an exciting deal on one of the console’s much-loved exclusive games just in time for Black Friday. Sony has rolled out its Black Friday deals for PlayStation enthusiasts, with Stellar Blade catching a lot of attention. Right now, you can grab this game for just $49.99, thanks to a 30% discount. This offer, available at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, also includes shipping. A similar price popped up in late October but was snatched up quickly. Luckily, this deal is expected to last until Black Friday, on November 29.
Grab Stellar Blade at 30% Off
Stellar Blade marks Shift Up’s first major venture into non-gacha titles in the US, standing out for its tough souls-like combat, stunning visuals, and memorable soundtrack—not to mention its eye-catching character designs. In our review, Mitchell Saltzman noted: "Stellar Blade shines as a visually beautiful and well-constructed action game, though it comes with notable pros and cons. While its storyline and character depth leave something to be desired, and some RPG elements like the repetitive sidequests can be lackluster, the game makes up for these shortcomings with its highly refined Sekiro-esque combat and the thrill of battling various grotesque foes. Exploring is rewarding, with plenty of hidden treasures scattered throughout." IGN awarded it a 7/10, but personally, I found it worthy of an even higher score.
To get the best performance from Stellar Blade, I recommend running it in "Performance" mode to achieve that smooth 60fps. If you’re thinking about upgrading to the PlayStation 5 Pro, launching on November 7, you might get an enhanced experience with 4K visuals and consistent framerates. According to the official PlayStation blog, “With PS5 Pro, players can experience Stellar Blade in 4K resolution at 50fps or higher, enjoy smoother gameplay, and witness improved texture detail in the PSSR upscale mode. Plus, there’s an HFR (high framerate) mode that enhances fluidity to 80 fps, provided you have a 120Hz display."
