Stellar Blade fans asked to ‘go easy’ on its demo, which is almost twice as popular as FF7 Rebirth’s

, the demo has been popular, attracting a peak of 690,000 daily active user. In comparison, the demo for fellow PS5 exclusive Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth drew a peak of 380,000 daily active users.

Square Enix‘s game went on to attract about 2.2 million daily active players when it was released.

“The hype surrounding Stellar Blade – largely focused on its character models – may have resulted in inflated interest in the demo, and the rate of conversion to paying, launch users could fall short of what we have seen for its competitors,” said Louise Wooldridge, Ampere’s research manager for games.

, CEO and Stellar Blade director Kim Hyung Tae said the title will receive a New Game Plus mode post-release.

Free updates will also include costume bundles for protagonist Eve, adding to the 30 outfits available in the base game, which is being published by Sony.

Kim Hyung Tae stressed that the third-person action game won’t include any microtransactions at release.

“We would like to make it clear here that Stellar Blade does not require any additional expenses that gamers are not aware of other than the cost of purchasing the package,” he said.
