The upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive action game Stellar Blade will be missing a photo mode when it launches on April 26. Stellar Blade, developed by Shift Up and published by Sony, has been generating quite a bit of buzz lately.

As some may recall, God of War Ragnarok's photo mode was missing at the time of that game's launch in 2022, though it was added in a post-launch update that came less than a month after it hit store shelves. It's possible Stellar Blade could enjoy a quick turnaround for its photo mode as well, but fans shouldn't hold their breath.
