Ever since it’s release on the PC platform, Shift Up’s Stellar Blade has turned out to be quite a hit with the game selling over 1 million units and the devs continuing to improve it with post-launch updates that contain tons of small adjustments and bug fixes. And the recent 1.2.0 patch for Stellar Blade makes the game a bit more polished with some added options and settings such as unlocking it’s Hard Difficulty right from the start for both it’s story mode along with Boss Challenges.
The new patch also brings a Save File Recovery feature which can come in handy in case a particular save file becomes corrupted where the game will automatically restore a backup save from your playthrough. Another new addition is the improvement in Stellar Blade’s Graphics Settings Menu which now displays both how much VRAM the game is using at any point and the highest amount it could use. This small feature can help fine tuning your graphics settings a bit more in the game, depending on your total available VRAM.
Aside from these, patch 1.2.0 also comes with several camera angle fixes which can make your gameplay experience more refined in certain areas in Stellar Blade, plus a whole lot of bug fixes and other quality of life improvements. Check out the full patch notes below:
