Can I Run Stellar Blade?
SHIFT UP Corporation released Stellar Blade in 2025. It is an action adventure game, published by PlayStation Publishing LLC (excluding China). It offers a single player campaign. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Over 59 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. The game ships for Windows alone. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. There are 45 achievements to chase. As a new title, the figures below were written against parts you can still buy. 22 languages are covered by the store listing. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk.

Setting and environment
Stellar Blade places its action in a world after its collapse, and the player works through interlocking areas that reward learning the route. The view is from a third person view. 10 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why Stellar Blade is demanding
Demand in Stellar Blade is ordinary. The publisher has NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. Disk footprint is light, near 75 GB on an SSD. DirectX 12 is named, so Stellar Blade expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Its stated video memory figure is modest at 6 GB, so on Stellar Blade the speed of the graphics chip binds before its memory does. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Stellar Blade at the floor and Stellar Blade at the recommended tier are not the same experience.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Stellar Blade?
Stellar Blade is memory-hungry: it wants 16 GB of system RAM, above the 8 GB many machines still ship with. Graphically it is undemanding, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB clears the minimum, so more RAM, not a new GPU, is the upgrade most players need.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Stellar Blade needs about 75 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1.06x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.6x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.27x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
