Even though the PC version of Stellar Blade is still not out, the modding community on Nexus Mods has put together diverse and sometimes controversial mods. Soon after its release, creators began to remake and expand the experience of playing the big cyberpunk title from 2025.
Once the PC version of Stellar Blade came out, it only took three days for modders to release lots of mods on Nexus and many focused on the adult subject. As PC gaming traditionally includes modding, many are once more discussing the community’s standards, freedom of expression and what is and is not allowed in mod content.
Over half of the popular Stellar Blade mods on Nexus Mods tag themselves as ‘Adult’. The number one downloaded mod to date takes away Eve’s sci-fi suit and leaves her. Because the game is full of provocative designs and has already inspired many people, the presence of NSFW content is not surprising. Because of this, Eve has been given new body types and outfits to make her more eye-catching and sexier in the game.
Not Just Smut: Visual & Gameplay Mods Also Emerge
Even with a huge number of adult-themed mods, some gaming modders are working on less explicit ideas. Plenty of mods are designed to enhance the game and its graphics such as:
- ReShade Overhauls: Enhancing lighting, color grading, and shadow depth.
- Chromatic Aberration Removal: This fix is chosen by players who like games without much cinematic style.
- Character Swaps: A surprised fan switched out Eve and brought Goromi from Yakuza into the game.
Because of the game’s open design, players often add these types of mods to customize how they play, showing that Stellar Blade Mods can provide cool content as well as helpful tools.
Early Mod Boom Raises Questions About Developer Boundaries
Shift Up and Sony are set to release Stellar Blade on PC on June 11, 2025. Even though the increase in modding was expected, it has created fresh discussions focused on rights to intellectual property, the right mood in games and what’s expected of modding platforms. Nobody from Sony or Shift Up has officially addressed NSFW modding, but they have always focused their marketing on the game’s look. It was also revealed that Stellar Blade social media staff recently posted suggestive fan art, changing the way developers and fans interact.
Modding in Stellar Blade is not unique. Before or immediately after release, Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 have all attracted many adult-themed mods. This game stands out because of how much data it offers and how quickly you can access it which is helped by the characters and the demo availability. It also shows that active mod communities can affect games well before full release by working on changes and features that the main game still lacks.
What’s Next for Stellar Blade on PC?
Since the full version is only a week away, the amount of exciting mods available now is only a preview. After the game’s launch, the modding community may expand fast and potentially affect:
- Streaming Content Guidelines: Platforms like Twitch and YouTube may need to enforce stricter rules for Stellar Blade playthroughs featuring mods.
- Developer Policies: Shift Up may introduce mod-blocking mechanisms or moderate content via DRM.
- Community Moderation: Nexus Mods might face pressure to reevaluate content visibility and access permissions.
For now, you need to log in before you can use NSFW mods on Nexus, allowing a measure of control. However, with thousands already engaging, the impact is undeniable.
