Stellar Blade Switch 2 Version: Reactions to New Footage Over Graphics and Mods

Written by

in

New footage believed to show the Switch 2 version of the PS5 action game “Stellar Blade” was released, sparking discussion on 5ch’s Hardware/Industry board (Geha).

While some pointed out degraded graphics, others noted that since the game had already been shown running on UMPCs (handheld gaming PCs), a port had been expected. The thread also covered the restrictions on costume mods, the backstory of the PlayStation exclusivity deal, and comparisons with how other companies have handled similar ports.

Quality looks great

Bet the frame rate's choppy again like COD, really showing off that low-end performance lol

Glad to see you sounding so bitter about it

Oh, you mean the PS5 version of GTA6!

Since it already ran on UMPCs (handheld gaming PCs), I figured a Switch 2 version was coming

UMPCs range wildly in quality, from top-tier to bottom-of-the-barrel
5Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 19:20:25.38ID:YeRO1Lts0
A downgraded version that can't even use mods

Even though Shift Up (the developer) basically egged fans on about costume mods, the sad truth is the only mods that showed up were lower quality than the outfits already in the game

Why'd you suddenly bring up PlayStation out of nowhere?

22Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 19:41:37.02ID:VumXAtAj0
Is this actually happening?
I thought it was just a joke from Shift Up

There's an official press release out too, so it's not a joke

It's all crackly and frizzled looking lol

Thought this was the Raven boss fight, but it's the Great Desert.
Still, everything just turns to dust here huh lol

That's every single flaw of DLSS on full display
53Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:06:46.43ID:lxuec42p0

Wait, no, this is the Wasteland.
The Great Desert is where that final boss, Adam, drops his suggestive hints

It's not necessarily the Switch 2 version. Promo footage can be faked
57Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:11:03.65ID:sTKU9LO80

No way they'd pull a stunt like that, that's more of a Sony move

That super-degraded, garbage leftovers of a Switch 2 version won't even sell a tenth of the PS version cumulatively, digital included

The later-released PS5 version won't outsell the Switch 2 version either, you know. There's hardly ever a game that sells well as a late port, right?
78Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:49:10.37ID:WsNO80cj0
Nobody said it'd outsell the PS5, but you're going off on your own — kinda funny lol
82Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:54:13.22ID:FmssKh5K0
Has any late-ported game ever actually sold well on PS5? lol
89Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:56:48.70ID:3H8rkInZ0
>>82
Nope, doesn't exist
90Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:57:51.30ID:sTKU9LO80
If you get this worked up over something like this, you won't last.
There's bound to be more games dropping PlayStation exclusivity going forward too
92Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:59:12.98ID:WsNO80cj0

If Chinese/Korean mobile games ever dropped PlayStation exclusivity, people would really lose it
96Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 21:00:44.73ID:sTKU9LO80

Wasn't there already a leak about a Switch 2 version of Genshin Impact or something?
No idea when it'll actually come out though
104Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 21:22:48.05ID:WrFTh/Wq0

A mobile game 'dropping PlayStation exclusivity' doesn't even make sense — it was never PS-exclusive to begin with
98Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 21:02:45.91ID:8TWe6gtR0
Feels like pretty much every PS5 game is ending up on the Switch 2 these days 😁
99Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 21:05:37.84ID:WsNO80cj0
>>98
Even FF7 Revelation and Kingdom Hearts 4 are coming out on it, so there's probably no game that truly can't be ported.
If a game isn't coming, it's just out of deference to PlayStation
