Stellar Blade enthusiasts are catching up to Nier Automata fans in sexual content modifications: within a day, the top 30 explicit mods on Nexus Mods have garnered 350,000 downloads for Stellar Blade.
Unleashing the X-Rated Wonders of Stellar Blade on PC
Holy smokes, the R-rated world of Stellar Blade has roared onto PC, leaving behind a trail of jaws dropped and eyes wide in shock. At a time when we've grown accustomed to awful PC ports, this one dazzles, looking, running, and feeling like a dream. Steaming on Steam and instantly becoming PlayStation's biggest single-player PC launch, it's no surprise that it's also flying high on Nexus Mods. And there's one thing getting considerably more flight time than the game itself - adult mods!
Oh yes, the adult-oriented content was expected, given the game's focus on protagonist Eve and the NSFW mods that were already abundant during the PC demo. But the sheer volume and popularity? That took us by surprise.
Let's delve into the Stellar Blade modland over on Nexus Mods. This massive destination for mods is, by far, the biggest like it out there. Expecting download figures to aid in the ranking of mods, let's take a peek at the statistics.
At the time of writing, Stellar Blade boasts a hefty 203 mods on Nexus Mods, with a whopping 80 of those classified as adult. Keep in mind, most of these adult mods are either hardcore pornographic or feature outfits that make Olive Garden patrons blush. We're not going to bore you with the specifics - go grab a free Nexus Mods account if you're curious!
What's truly astounding is that the top five most-downloaded Stellar Blade mods are all adult. The champion mod, currently pulling in a staggering 58,000 downloads, is none other than "Eve with no Clothes on," a title that tells it like it is.
We took a look at the download numbers for the top 30 adult Stellar Blade mods, just a day after the PC release (June 11). In that short span, players had already downloaded these mods over 351,000 times! While some of the mods had been around for a while, many were updated as the full release approached, and the mod scene really took off.
To put things in perspective, let's revisit Nier Automata, a game that inspired Stellar Blade and that the developers at Shift Up have basked in the glow of. Even Nier Automata boss Yoko Taro joked that maybe he shouldn't have collaborated, considering all the cosplayers who now dress as Shift Up characters instead of Nier's.
Nier: Automata was released on PC in 2017. Its most downloaded mods date back to 2018, none of them marked as adult. Compared to Stellar Blade, which has 80 adult mods out of 203 total versus 68 out of 581 for Nier Automata, the data suggests a notably more horny audience for Stellar Blade.
Even so, the total downloads on Stellar Blade's top 30 NSFW Nexus Mods creations currently lag behind Nier Automata's top 30 adult mods, despite the latter being years older. As players grow more accustomed to modding the game, we can only expect this trend to continue.
