There are also three “Unknown Countries” entries listed under “AN”, “FX” and “XG”. The player is in the Antilles of the Netherlands, but players can purchase the game using their Netherlands (NL) account. FX is used only in certain circumstances and means Metropolitan France, but all French accounts are currently under the Global Country Code (FR) that includes overseas territories. The XD is for Dubai, but it is covered by the United Arab Emirates (UEA).
If you see your country on the list, Shift Up says they are discussing the issue of regional locks with the publisher (PlayStation), so it’s still possible that the list is not final. There are other ways to buy the game. Even if it is banned in your country, we will leave it to you to discover it.
Stellar Blade on PC includes new content in the form of new bosses and new outfits. It will be released on the PS5 as part of the free title update.
The Stellar Blade will be released on PC on June 11th, 2025.
