One of last year’s most highly anticipated action titles, Stellar Blade, has seen a price cut at Amazon.
The game has landed within 2 cents of its previous lowest price at the retailer, bringing the character action title from Shift Up down to $49.99 from its $69.99 MSRP - a drop of 28%.
Stellar Blade puts players in the shoes of EVE, tasked with saving humanity from the Naytiba through fast, flashy combat that constantly evolves as she levels up and faces ever more challenging foes.
It looks incredible, too, whether you’re on a base PlayStation 5 or the PlayStation 5 Pro, with lightning-fast loading times.
The game previously dropped to around $50 around Black Friday 2024, but it’s worth noting that with another Holiday season on the horizon, there’s every chance it could drop further.
Our reviewer Mitchell Saltzman gave the game 7 out of 10 in his review, saying “Stellar Blade is great in all of the most important ways for an action game, but dull characters, a lackluster story, and several frustrating elements of its RPG mechanics prevent it from soaring along with the best of the genre.”
In the months since, the game got an improved Photo Mode in patch 1.3.0, and has come to PC, which pushed the game past the 3 million sold mark.
A sequel, unsurprisingly titled Stellar Blade 2, is in development and slated to arrive before 2027.
