PlayStation has agreed to refund digital purchases of the action game Stellar Blade after players raised concerns about false advertising. Customers have highlighted that a certain costume, notably worn by the main character Eve, was altered shortly before the game’s launch. This change prompted a backlash on platforms like Reddit where players expressed their dissatisfaction with the game’s marketing versus the actual content delivered.
For gamers who seek a refund, PlayStation has outlined that refunds of $69.99 will be returned to the original payment method, or alternatively, credited to the user’s PSN wallet. It is important to note that refund timings can differ based on the payment method used.

The controversy centers around the “Holiday bunny suit,” a costume that was censored in the digital version of Stellar Blade. However, those with physical copies of the game can access the uncensored version by running the game from the disc without updating.
The game director of Stellar Blade recently addressed the costume alteration during a Q&A session, affirming that the revised outfit is deemed the final version despite ongoing internal discussions. This acknowledgment comes amid significant public backlash. Despite the disputes surrounding the game’s advertising and costume changes, early sales figures indicate that Stellar Blade has still achieved notable commercial success.
