Stellar Blade Complete Edition on PC includes the base game, cosmetic and in-game currency bonuses, both crossover expansions—NieR:Automata and GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE—and a time-limited costume code for the NIKKE mobile game. Standard Edition is the base game. PlayStation links PC buyers to Steam and Epic Games Store, but its official page does not establish current prices or whether buying the game and add-ons separately costs less. Compare the live offers in your region before choosing.

What is the difference between Standard and Complete Edition?

Standard Edition is the base game. PlayStation’s official PC page lists Complete Edition as including that game plus additional outfits and items, in-game currency, both crossover expansions, and a costume code for the free-to-play mobile game GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE.

What does Complete Edition include?

PlayStation’s official US PC page lists these Complete Edition items:

#1 Best Overall
Stellar Blade - PlayStation 5
  • Stunning PS5 visuals: Explore vibrant futuristic environments, and engage with a cast of original friends and foes from the creative minds of the SHIFT UP team, led by renowned artist Kim Hyung Tae.
  • Ultra high-speed SSD: Explore new locations, overcome powerful enemies, and encounter jaw-dropping revelations as you advance relentlessly through EVE’s mission with lightning-fast load times.
  • Adaptive triggers: Unleash devastating yet graceful acrobatic moves, and interact with the technological remnants of an abandoned Earth using the DualSense wireless controller’s adaptive triggers.
  • Haptic feedback: Feel the thrill of combat as your blade slashes its way to victory, with sensations enriched by the DualSense wireless controller’s responsive vibrations.
  • Users Interact, In-Game Purchases
  • Base game: Stellar Blade.
  • Additional cosmetics: Planet Diving Suit (Captain) for EVE and the Fluffy Bear Pack for the Drone.
  • Bonus content: Stargazer Suit, Half-rim Glasses, and Quadruple Rectangle Earrings for EVE; Stargazer Coat for Lily; Stargazer Wear for Adam; Stargazer Pack for the Drone; 2,000 SP EXP; and 5,000 Gold.
  • Twin Expansion Pack: Stellar Blade x NieR:Automata and Stellar Blade x GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE.
  • NIKKE mobile-game code: an outfit CD-key for a time-limited Stellar Blade costume in GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE.

The page calls the mobile-game code time-limited but does not state its deadline, region restrictions, or whether an unredeemed code can still be used. Check the code’s current terms rather than assuming it remains redeemable.

What do the NieR and NIKKE expansions add?

GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE

This crossover adds a one-on-one boss fight against Scarlet. Defeating her rewards an EVE costume, a hairstyle, and a song. Other activities include sci-fi shooting-range mini games, fishing, a themed shop selling outfits, items, and cosmetics, and six collectible NIKKE items. PlayStation says an internet connection is required to access downloadable content.

NieR:Automata

The NieR crossover adds Emil’s mobile item shop in the Wasteland and Great Desert. It sells collaborative cosmetics: four Nanosuits, a face accessory, and three hairstyles for EVE, plus one cosmetic each for the Drone, Adam, and Lily. The items are acquired with Stellar Tears found throughout the Wasteland and Great Desert.

PlayStation describes these add-ons in terms of crossover activities and cosmetics; its descriptions do not present them as substantial new story campaigns.

Can you buy the DLC separately, and which edition is better value?

The Steam listing indicates a Deluxe Bundle upgrade for Standard Edition owners, but the available official information does not establish the current standalone prices, exact upgrade contents, or equivalent upgrade terms on both PC storefronts. It also does not establish whether buying Standard Edition and separate add-ons costs less than Complete Edition.

  1. Check the current Stellar Blade listings on Steam and Epic Games Store for your region.
  2. If you own Standard Edition, inspect the live store’s upgrade or bundle listing and confirm exactly what it adds.
  3. Compare the total cost of the content you want with the Complete Edition price, including any regional taxes or active discounts shown at checkout.

Choose based on the content you actually want: Complete Edition bundles both crossovers and the listed bonuses, while a lower-cost base-game purchase may suit someone who wants only the game. No universal price-based recommendation is supported without current regional listings.
