Alright, so Shift Up, the developer behind Stellar Blade, is in a bit of a pickle. They’re currently dealing with a region lock issue that has affected the game’s release in over 120 countries. The whole situation has left players scratching their heads, wondering what’s going on. But fear not, Shift Up is on the case and working hard to iron out the kinks. They’ve promised to keep everyone in the loop as they work towards a solution.

It seems that on top of the region lock debacle, players have also discovered the presence of Denuvo in the PC version of Stellar Blade. This has raised some eyebrows and caused a bit of annoyance among the gaming community. However, Shift Up has assured everyone that the DRM has been optimized to maintain the same average framerate, with even higher minimum frames in some cases. So, at least they’ve got that going for them.

As for the PSN connection, Shift Up wants to make it crystal clear that it’s entirely optional and definitely not a requirement. They’re adamant that both the PC and PS5 versions of the game offer the same content, so no need to worry about missing out on anything. And to top it all off, they’ve promised that early buyers won’t be left in the dust when future updates roll around. So, all in all, it seems like Shift Up is doing their best to address the issues at hand and keep players happy. Let’s hope they can get everything sorted out soon.
