Is Stellar Blade on Xbox Game Pass? Readers curious about the availability of Shift Up’s upcoming action-adventure, hack-and-slash title will be left sorely disappointed.

Read on to learn of the speculative reasons behind this decision and of alternative games you can play instead.

Stellar Blade has been confirmed to be a PlayStation 5 exclusive and, as such, is not available on any other platform. This means the game will be unavailable on PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox. As a consequence, it is unavailable via Microsoft’s game rental subscription service as well.
There are no immediate plans to port Stellar Blade to other platforms at the moment, but a PC release of Stellar Blade is entirely possible, given Sony’s recent push to bring its exclusives to the platform a year or two down the line.
The main reason for the absence of Stellar Blade on Xbox Game Pass is exclusivity. Developer Shift Up, and publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment are likely in an agreement of sorts, which has kept Stellar Blade locked to the PlayStation 5 for an unknown period of time.
Given PlayStation’s strategies, the game is unlikely to reach the Game Pass or the Xbox Series X/S at any point.
While Stellar Blade is not available on Game Pass, readers can choose to play through a selection of similar action-adventure, hack-and-slash titles instead that provide a similar combat experience:
