Stellar Blade Update 1.009.002 Resolves Progression Issue

Yesterday, players of Stellar Blade were greeted with the latest update, version 1.009.002. This new patch from Shift Up comes with a sigh of relief, as it addresses a game-breaking bug that had caused quite a stir among the community. The bug in question emerged following this month’s addition of the Nier: Automata DLC and a new photo mode. Before diving back into their gaming sessions, Shift Up urged players to hold off until this patch was released.

Let’s delve into the specifics of the Stellar Blade update 1.009.002, rolled out on November 25, 2024. Here’s what the patch notes reveal:

– The update rectified an issue where the game unexpectedly crashed when players accessed Photo Mode.
– An obligatory film grain effect that appeared in Photo Mode while in Xion is no longer a problem.
– Gamers had reported getting stuck in their Main Quest Progress when completing certain Photo challenges, but this has now been resolved.
– A glitch where the Nier: Automata collaboration items would vanish if players changed the difficulty after saving at a camp has been fixed.
– The selfie camera, previously unusable near the elevator by Altes Levoire in the Wasteland, is back in working order.

Fans have embraced the new Nier DLC and photo mode, with many eagerly hoping for more exciting crossovers in the future. Notably, the update introduced a humorous Easter egg, where Eve cheekily kicks the camera if players attempt to peek under her skirt.

For those yet to dive into Stellar Blade, now might be the perfect time as the game currently enjoys its first markdown in the ongoing PS Store sale since it first hit the shelves.
