Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer SHIFT UP are bringing Stellar Blade to PC on June 11, nearly a year after its PlayStation 5 debut. A “Complete Edition” will launch on the same day for both PC and PS5, bundling in crossover DLC and additional content. Originally released on April 26, 2024, Stellar Blade made a name for itself with stylish combat and striking visuals. The upcoming PC version builds on that with support for NVIDIA DLSS 4, AMD FSR 3, and unlocked frame rates.

I didn’t attend any of the early Nintendo Switch 2 events, so walking into a small room with the new console to play Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster was an interesting experience. This was during PAX East 2025, where Square Enix showed off the game to a handful of publications. I’ve been a huge fan of Bravely Default since it first released more than ten years ago, and I’m sure modern audiences will embrace it on the new hardware. Still, I chose not to play the game during my meeting.

One thing has always been true throughout my years of covering games: solo game development is challenging. Still, there are defined points in gaming history where a solo developer comes out of nowhere and blows you away. Some easy examples are Stardew Valley, Axium Verge, and Animal Well.
