Stellar Blade looks set to combine relatively fast-paced combat, Souls-like difficulty, and sprawling futuristic environments ready to explore into one incredibly immersive package. After our time with the demo, we’re already excited to dive further into EVE’s adventure as she takes on the Naytiba to save the last remnants of the human race. If, like us, you can’t wait for the full game to release, we’ve got you covered with Stellar Blade preload times, download size, and unlock times to help you get ready for the release date.

We've also included the contents and price of the Digital Deluxe Edition, so you know whether you're willing to spend a little extra on those in-game extras.

Preloading for Stellar Blade begins at midnight on April 19, meaning you'll be able to download the game a week before its official release date on April 26. This gives you plenty of time to free up some storage space on your PS5 and ensure the game is fully downloaded so you can play it on release day.

Please note that midnight on April 19th falls in your specific time zone and is not tied to a specific region.
