Preview: I Played Stellar Blade On Switch 2, And Eve’s Only Lost A Little Of Her Gloss
Stellar Blade, the acclaimed action game originally released on PlayStation 5, is coming to Nintendo Switch 2. A journalist from Nintendo Life recently tested the Switch 2 port during a session in Tokyo, providing hands-on impressions of the game’s performance on Nintendo’s upcoming hybrid console.
The game is being released as Stellar Blade: Complete Edition for the Switch 2, suggesting it will include additional content beyond the original PS5 release. While the port brings the title to a broader audience, the preview indicates there are visual trade-offs compared to the original PlayStation version. The journalist notes that the game has “only lost a little of her gloss” in the transition to Switch hardware, suggesting the port maintains much of the visual quality despite running on less powerful hardware.
The author, who has extensively covered Stellar Blade previously—writing a comprehensive 100% walkthrough guide and documenting all of protagonist Eve’s outfit options—was selected to evaluate this port. This release reflects a broader trend of bringing demanding AAA titles to the Switch 2, leveraging the console’s improved technical capabilities compared to the original Switch to enable ports of more graphically intensive games.
