Like so many other action titles, Stellar Blade is keen to keep you around for another run, and it does so with the temptation of New Game Plus mode.
Everyone is eager to know if New Game Plus is in every new release. Why? Because let’s face it, the thought of starting a new game without all your hard work carrying over is a bit soul-destroying. Stellar Blade‘s developer—Shift Up—understands this, and has bundled Stellar Blade with a free New Game Plus update.
This allows Eve to carry over her unlocked outfits, Drone upgrades, and much more, so let’s go through everything you need to know.
Does Stellar Blade have New Game Plus?
Yes, Stellar Blade has a New Game Plus mode for you to enjoy, and selecting it will allow you to start Stellar Blade from scratch and carry over a ton of the gear you collected and the progress you made in your first playthrough.
Courtesy of the day one Stellar Blade patch, New Game Plus is a newer addition in the grand scheme of its development cycle. If you’re picking up Stellar Blade on day one, it should download automatically for you.
