Fans don’t have to wait much longer for Stellar Blade on the Nintendo Switch 2, but that didn’t keep Shift Up from bringing the game to Tokyo Game Show 2026. Tucked away in the Sega booth, a handful of units were available and we go the chance to try out the game.

Great game. Bought both ps5 and pc. But switch 2 sucks, hardware performance is too low to drive this game.
So I'm not playing this on Switch 2 but I did play it and I am currently on my second playthrough and plan to play a 3rd time. I'm just here cause I'm curious. 😅All I can say is to me this is Playstation's best recent exclusive and they totally lost it with it on PC and coming to Switch.
Xbox release ?
Day one on my PS5 and now Day one on Switch2, the game is worth it and Shift Up deserves the support
I bought this day one on PS5 and it’s one of modern gaming’s greatest titles. Poured more than 260 hours into it and I can’t say enough good things about it. I’m double dipping on this and getting it for Switch 2, cause I’m supporting the developer and well it’s Stellar Blade. Now I’ll have the complete edition on a Switch 2 cart and the uncensored disc version on PS5.
As someone with hundreds of hours on the Steam version, as well as all the achievements, I absolutely intend to pick this up on my Switch 2 as well. Shift Up has my loyalty so far.
Pretty sure the hair clipping through the model was an issue that happened sometimes on the PS5 too, so i mean….
I bought it for PC, and I already preordered the Steelbook edition for my Switch 2. PC version has Denuvo DRM and can't be played offline, I hope they remove it soon. The Switch 2 version is full physical on the cartridge, and I personally don't care about it using generated frames to reach 60fps, slight input lags or some minor graphic details. Being able to play it whenever and wherever I want, with very good quality, and the game itself being so gorgeous makes up for it by far. The Switch 2 is a great system to have these games after all we are seeing in other companies. Have a good one.
it doesn't "run at 60fps" it runs at 30 and uses shitty frame interpolation to make up for it, if this gets praised, devs will start abusing frame gen on the switch 2 as well.
I don’t have a hair fetish so i don’t care about details that much.
Also, love the Famicast, but remove that clown Ty from the podcast. He doesn’t even own a Switch why is he there? Hate his ass
I personally like this more than Devil may Cry
The physical steel case version is sold out already 😭
Was there significant input delay since they're using frame gen?
