Yesterday, Shift Up released the latest patch for Stellar Blade, version 1.009.002, addressing a critical bug that surfaced with the recent Nier: Automata DLC and the addition of photo mode. In their appeal to gamers, Shift Up urged players to hold off until this update could resolve the problem.

### Stellar Blade Update 1.009.002 Patch Notes (November 25, 2024)

Here’s a complete rundown of what was fixed in this patch:

– Resolved an issue that caused the game to occasionally crash when players engaged with Photo Mode.
– Corrected a problem where the film grain effect was unintentionally applied during Photo Mode in Xion.
– Addressed a glitch that sporadically blocked Main Quest progression upon completing Photo challenges.
– Fixed a bug where the Nier: Automata collaboration items would vanish if players altered the difficulty setting after saving at camp while equipped with these items.

The Nier DLC and photo mode update for Stellar Blade have received a warm reception from fans, sparking a demand for more crossovers in the future.
