Stellar Blade received a day 1 patch that censored a few outfits and some of the gore. X users are using the tag #FreeStellarBlade to voice their concerns with censorship and false advertising. As we were promised an uncensored game. It is our hope that they will issue a new update that will reverse the censorship. Until then, I'll continue to try playing the game unpatched. Grummz has a lot of posts with further information regarding this: https://twitter.com/Grummz You can also follow me on X as well here: https://twitter.com/NateWolfKira I am using a physical copy that I installed with the PS5 offline. To keep it unpatched, you need to: 1. Install it while the PS5 is disconnected from the internet. 2. The game has to be started and played while the PS5 is disconnected from the internet. 3. The PS5 has to remain offline indefinitely or else you'll have to uninstall and re-install the game offline each time. You might be able to reconnect to the internet after your play session for other games/apps for a time, however: 1. You'll need to remove the disc before connecting to the internet (and before starting another app/game). 2. You'll need to ensure auto update settings are turned off before connecting to the internet. 3. If you restart the console at any time, the game will update upon next connection to the internet. Regardless of settings or actions taken. If at any time the PS5 begins to download the update. You're locked out of unpatched game, even if you dismiss the update. As once that update is flagged, the game will not start without the update. If the download finishes, it will auto-install upon next boot up of the game. You'll need to start all over by uninstalling the game. Then disconnect from the internet, then re-install the game offline. Your saves should still be intact, so long as you don't delete those too. Note: Patching through PS5's 3D Audio. Try listening with headphones on! Capture: ASUS TUF GAMING CAPTURE BOX-4KPRO
