According to a recent Twitter post by Genki_JPN, the upcoming action RPG Stellar Blade will require more than 35 GB of space. This is according to the PS5 box art of the game which is already stocked in some stores in Japan. It’s worth noting that this may not be the final number and is just a placeholder number, as the game may receive a day one patch making it a bit over that. Additionally, Shiftup studio CEO and game director Kim Hyeong-tae revealed that the game’s main story will last 25 hours. However, completing the game will take 30 to 50 hours. Stellar Blade will launch on April 26 for PlayStation 5. Developer Shift Up Technical Director Dong-Gi Lee recently confirmed that the upcoming game Stellar Blade will launch with three graphical modes. According to Lee, Performance Mode will feature 60 FPS “so you can experience very smooth gameplay”. Resolution Mode will feature full 4K capability, and Balanced mode will have a “balance between the two previous modes.”
Here is the back of the box. It says it requires “more than 35GB” free storage capacity. It’s still early so it might not be final. Not sure. I was imagining the game will be around 50-60GB but we will have to wait and see! pic.twitter.com/bdkBRD3Eb7

The game’s full details via Sony:
The Story of Eve’s journey
Stellar Blade follows the journey of Eve, a warrior who descends from an off-world Colony to defeat the Naytibas, humanity’s enemy that suddenly emerged on Earth. The Naytibas appear to be attacking the human race at the will of a higher entity composed of Alpha and an Elder, but no one really knows about their origin.
The protagonist, Eve, finds herself in a devastated world where she meets Adam, a survivor left on Earth, and Lily, a member of a previous airborne squad. Together they join forces in battle against the Naytibas. Along the way, Eve’s party works with the surviving citizens gathered in the last human city, Xion.
The World of Stellar Blade
Xion is connected to a semi-open world region called the Wasteland and the Great Desert, which harbor many secrets. You get to cross paths with many different people and go on adventures in these vast fields to fulfill Eve’s goals while also helping the citizens of Xion. One of the missions involves gathering Hyper Cells, which are a massive source of energy sustaining Xion. These cells lie dormant throughout the fields, and Eve retrieves these Hyper Cells to turn Xion back to its original glory. This leads her to meet more characters along the way.
Throughout her adventures, you will pick up items like Exospines or Gears as well as acquire SP EXP which unlocks powerful skills. You can also acquire various cosmetics, such as costumes, accessories, and hairstyles.
