The latest Stellar Blade update introduces several new features to the PS5 exclusive title, including notable "visual improvements" to protagonist Eve's character model, courtesy of developer Shift Up.
Stellar Blade's Enhanced Physics
Gameplay Enhancements and Visual Tweaks

Further improvements encompass enhanced quality of life features, new map markers, the addition of an "Ammo Package" item for instant ammo replenishment, and more. However, the most discussed change centers on the updated physics engine and its impact on Eve's appearance.
As detailed by the development team, the update noticeably increases the animation of Eve's bust. Comparative GIFs clearly showcase the enhanced jiggle physics, a significant departure from the previous, less pronounced movement.
While Shift Up has consistently presented Eve with a certain level of visual emphasis, this update pushes the boundaries further, impacting not just Eve's character model. Social media reactions highlight the updated physics' effects on equipment during windy conditions, with some fans praising the enhanced realism, describing it as "real-time CG."
However, the most prominent change remains the increased jiggle physics applied specifically to Eve's chest area, as demonstrated in the provided GIFs.
A more comprehensive physics simulation would likely also incorporate movement in her hair, mirroring the amplified chest animation.
