This growth is particularly noteworthy as the game wasn't discounted during the relevant period, strongly suggesting the new content was the primary driver. Despite the absence of a highly anticipated photo mode and the limited-time nature of some additions, the update clearly rekindled player enthusiasm.

The summer update introduced a temporary summer-themed area at the Great Desert Oasis, featuring new music and interactive sunbeds. Two new outfits, available from Clyde's shop, complemented the seasonal theme. Furthermore, the update addressed several bugs, including a fix for the hair color issue in the Boss Challenge Preset.

Launched exclusively on PS5 on April 26th, 2024, Stellar Blade garnered praise for its dynamic combat and impressive visuals. While the summer update might be considered modest by some, the positive community response and significant player increase demonstrate its effectiveness in re-engaging the fanbase and offering a welcome summer break within the game's world.
