It seems we aren't the only ones counting down the hours until the release of the PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade. Developer Shift Up has posted an impossibly drawn-out clip of the "secrets" contained within the game's PS5 physical box, which, as far as we can tell, amounts to a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for some cosmetic goodies.
Don't get us wrong: the variant cover, in particular, is certainly appreciated and perhaps even preferable to the game's standard art, just not something we'd generally consider a "secret". Regardless, the cool part is that Shift Up confirmed via the comments section that this will be the case in all regions, just as the eye-catching action RPG will remain uncensored in all regions.
It's always nice to see a developer include a little something extra for physical collectors, and the developer seems intent on making a positive first impression in the console space. Stellar Blade launches this Friday, 26th April, on PS5.
Does the prospect of a reversible cover push you over the edge into purchasing physically? Let us know in the comments section below.

Kinda wish the reversible had the ps5 strip. As it is, works better for a steel book case
I stopped buying physical, as much as I hate to admit it, but I do love when they make the physical copies with reverse art like this.
Haven’t bought physical in over 10 years, but when i see good art work on the cases i really miss that feature of physical. It’s really nice and they did a great job with this one.
Have the game already downloaded and ready. Do we know when reviews go up?
@DennisReynolds early downloads unlocked on 19th.
Stellar Blade review embargo is April 24th at 7AM PT/ 10AM ET.
Neat reverse cover, but rather generic, I'm hoping it's good though, I've been really anticipating this since its announcement
So ready for this game to be released.
Reverse covers usually have the better art, unfortunately they almost never include the game's title on the spine so there's no point in swapping it...
Unless idk, you want to identify the game on your shelf by an inch of ambient background.
I wish the reverse cover was the actual cover
I genuinely love the reversible cover's art work.
The marketing for this game has been absolutely 🔥🔥🔥 and the discourse surrounding it has elevated Stellar Blade and Shift Up to champions of the gaming industry 🙌🏼
Seriously can't wait to get my physical copy 😭 Need to flip that cover!
Nice. I'm a suckered for physical editions that put a little bit of effort into them. I'll be purchasing this as soon as I actually have time to play it.
I have not a single digital game above €10 oh wait i did on PC because there is no option there and that are not fully priced i guess i have 6 digital games. I really can't remember what digital game i bought from PSN.
@pyrrhic_victory Yeah I like both but the front cover just has a very 2000's feel to it which seems to be a lot of the games vibe in general.
It's been a good while since I bought a physical game (I'm on PC these days) but I do miss the smell of a newly unwrapped shining new game package.
I'm still mainly physical and that reverse art is beautiful 😍
Still got my PS4 copy of FFXII. The reversible cover for that is fab.
@ApostateMage Mine's still in shrink wrap!
It's a great reversible cover, but it's infuriating when they don't put the PS5 strip on it, so the case will look out of place with all the other PS5 games.
So close yet so far.
Now that's a better cover. Such a cool idea.
Reversible cover is nice 😃
