For more context: make sure auto updates are turn off and DO NOT buy the deluxe DLC if you wanna be online. This will lock you out of the game and forces you to update the game. If you do buy the DLC is possible to still use the DLC but you have to stay offline the entire time to keep the 1.0 patch So to ensure that this works, be offline before and after download and keep offline while playing to ensure 100% it will work!

Physical copy always rules

Well people was saying I’m crazy when I said I’m buying it in physical media, who’s laughing now.

I really do hope they uncensor the game that way we can play the game how it was intended to be played alongside the new features that were released in the patches

Make sure to have auto updates off

DUDE, you really are a lifesaver thank you very much for being informative on how to uninstall and reinstall stellar blade uncensored with the disc version I finally got the HARD R and it worked like a charm, thanks bro. Peace ✌️

The worst part is that Sony forces the update even if your settings prevent it. Isn’t it illegal to force an update without your consent?

Worked like a charm. Didn't even have to start over, my current save just started in the Uncensored Version.

Owning a physical copy is always the best. Nothing can beat that in my bingo book.🗿👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you for sharing this video 🙏🏼. I’m glad we can have chance playing this game uncensored. I have been playing digital version I felt disappointed on Censorship on the outfits. EVE is stunning character model 😊

Im pretty frustrating since day one. Because my friend told me the physical version just came with 1002 patch and I'm pretty confusing but I just agreed that. So I decide to insert my disc. After that switched to the TV and waiting for the install. So... Thanks to you, now I know he just misunderstanding lol. Im gonna re-install my game tonight!!

I can’t wait to try this! I’m about 65% of the way through the Digital Deluxe editions and my physical copy arrives tomorrow. I’d like to 100% the game uncensored, and then redownload, the digital version later for NG+. Hopefully by then, Shift Up puts out a new patch to revert the game back to its original glory.

This needs to be out there in reddit and social media.

if you insert disc while connected then disconnect it, the game will say to update first to play.... if this happens just uninstall and reinstall disconnected it will keep your saved progress , I did this twice already lol luckily it downloads quickly 😅👍 so make sure your internet connection is off before inserting disc

Thank you so much!

Did this yesterday and worked great.. also even tho I have auto update off, system still started to install the 1.2 parch

Many have reported both in youtube vids/ Reddit that just clicking disable auto updates doesn't always work. Better safe than sorry and just forget your wifi networks. Might seem extreme but after this whole debacle I don't trust Sony for shit.

For people that want to use demo save file, imported it to the digital version but, I want to play the v1.0 from the physical copy you can still do it. Delete the game, save file and anything related to the game (Don't touch anything related to the demo). Then turn off auto updates(just making sure lol), disconect the PS5 from the internet and make a clean disc install. When you boot it up it's going to ask you to import save from the demo. I don't know if the game will auto update bc I haven't gone online yet.

I really like this game, put 17 hours in it already and want to play it's Truest Version, so glad i bought the Physical Version. Going to reinstall as soon as i get Home.

Thanks

Can't wait to get this game

Nice

I bought the game digital first, But I just got the physical version so I’m going to delete the game off my console and reinstall it from the disc, Hopefully it works. (Edit it Worked)

Blessed disc version.

Your doing God's work The God James.

Yeah I'm going to GameStop next paycheck and get me a physical copy

So this only works for the physical copy?

As someone who shares a PS5 with my wife. She plays FFXIV so unfortunately I can't just go and do this and keep console internet off at all times for the game to be uncensored. Because that would be highly unfair to her.

I heard that from launch the game had terrible input lag? I purchased the digital edition but the only main outfit I have noticed that was changed was a holiday bunny.

Stop buying digital letting these companies control what you paid for ! Buy physical single player games and play offline !

I only got the digital ps5 console. I still purchased the physical copy. Gonna shelf it for when i either get the slim ps5 (shelf it) or Ebay when there arent amymore original copies

I hate that Shiftup censored the costume on the lastest patch, however, didnt they reduce the input latency with parrying attacks from the latest update?

What if I'm done with downloading the real version and turn wifi back on, but I've auto updates mode off? Then it'll not update to 1.000.02 right?

Sadly you miss out on new game plus and such, but yes no censorship as I did the same thing, removed the digital one and installed the disk one, I still had my deluxe and preorder items with the saved game.

Question, doing this downgrade will affect something different like the way its been played or the controls, parries etc???

Can you do it even if you’re far in the game? Will your previous save still show up when you boot the game up?

I installed the uncensored cd while offline, but every time I try to play while online, it always asks me to update. Do you have to be offline all the time to play version 1.00?

Funny how i cant go into rest mode anymore with the game in pause. The moment i boot up, it pushes me out and asks for an update while connected. Before i got to do it a few times. Having the update paused. Everything off in settings. Never had this happen for any other game Thank god copying is fast. I just install it every time, if i want to go play something online

What about progress? If you uninstall the digital copy and upload the physical, do you lose your progress in the game?

Well I was an idiot and bought the digital version cause I wanted the deluxe edition, and it's probably too late to get a refund. Any options?

I already played a few hours into the game, before I came across this video. Can I still use my savefiles, when I uninstall the updated version and reinstall v 1.0? Thx for help 😊👍

You're doing god's work bro

So what if i originally got the digital delux edition, got the update without knowing, then deleted everything, and installed the physical copy?

The annoying party is everytime i wanna watch any streaming services now and turn internet back on it auto starts the update even if i have all the auto updates turned off

The only problem is you cannot get the gameplay enhancements too, waiting for the PC ver ASAP!

I stayed online while I was playing because I didn't know about this information. If I delete the game, can I download version 1.0?

Do you have to turn off both "auto game update" & "connect to the internet" or just the 2nd one?

So, you have to delete the game every time you turn on the PS5? I'm having a problem with my physical copy to where I have both the auto updates and the internet off, but it's still trying to update the patch. And it's not giving me an option to play the game without updating.

O carp good idea

The disk version also came with certain censored outfits that where just like that on the promise of a uncensored game was complete bullshit

Can you go back online with this or close the game and come back without it updating?

Actually works❤

Does the same save game work for both patched and unpatched versions? I'm playing the digital (patched) version but physical version will arrive later. Would I be able to continue the save once I install the physical?

Based!

It's a shame the new patch stuff has a bit quality of life stuff for the game I'd prob play my first playthroughs with patch and if unpatch after I completed game but play unpatched version on different account my patch save file should be safe as long as I dnt play unpatch version on my patched save file account?

What would happen to my saved data?

So do I have to keep playing the game offline to keep it in ver 1.00

Okay I need some advice I did buy the deluxe DLC but then deleted it will that affect my physical copy

I can see all the players who bought digital PS5 just to play this game having to get a disc version PS5 just to get uncensored version

It wasn't censorship... *A graffiti changed for cultural reasons, *An "OceanMaid" outfit was for NG+, *2 clothes added a stripe on the front, but others didn't, if it was censorship it would be on everyone, if it was censorship the fur would be urgently banned, *One outfit was modified "Rabbit", but in my opinion for the better, combined more with the proposal of the hood and rabbit tail, than the swimsuit it was before, *The gore, she just gets less dirty, but all the blood is still there, in my opinion it was to show the character even more... And they even gave the option to improve the graphics with chromatic aberration and grain control. I can't play anymore without the update.

When this game becomes a ps plus game I will try it out not paying 69 dollars for a censored or uncensored games from anyone . I will continue enjoying my pc games at a big discount.

I have this version now

Yeah but don't u lose out on NG+ and the additional outfits they added by not updating the game?? Thats a significant amount of content u miss on by not updating..

I guess pc version will be really fun

About new game + can i just start a new game + with 1.002 version (censored) then save, delete the game and reinstall without internet, come back to 1.000 (uncensored) with my physical copy then just load my save with new game + ?

What is the differences?

Sony shouldn´t listen to an insignificant minority but their real player base. Everyone owning the game wants it UNCENSORED.

Do you still get achievements while in offline mode?

does this work only with physical?

Lucky I have two PS5. Fat PS5 permanently offline playing stellar blade disc. Slim PS5 online... Download games.

Is this a speedrun any%?! Man, slow down, you‘re scrolling 100 times the same page only to land on the same menu item and I still didn‘t catch what you clicked…and no I don‘t want to slow down the playback speed!

Anyone from Europe or United Kingdom have this work? I heard someone say it has to be an american disc but i don't think that is the case.

It’s already ruined. There’s no going back. Welcome to gamer hell.

Idk why but this video has no sound.

I have the best photo in the game! Lmao how can I upload to yall??

Needs audio.

all this hate because people just want more skin ! really ?? there is enough on show already. i'm sure you can find it it you really want it. Don't tell me its because you only want less censorship. lol companies own their own intellectual property so its their right to change their own stuff ! ask for refunds if it bothers you that much. btw i finished the game and outfits were fine generally.

Can digital work too or only disc?

Really that down bad i guess

Why is this censord

Ok cool, but shouldn’t have to di this in the first place.

Can u still get new game plus with the uncensored version?

you guys make me feel so embarrassed for enjoying this game

I guess I'm too old to know what offends these snowflake children nowadays but basically everything it seems. But anyway, ya can't patch my physical copy of the game with no internet, sorry digital only fanboys, old school game ownership wins again.

Only works with disc

Doesn't work for digital version!

Doesn't offline = no trophies tho

Or you can just play the game for the gameplay and not care about the whole censorship thing like I’m doing

or just wait PC release =)

Make sure you use the digital copy

Who cares

That magic 🪄 PS5

I'm just gonna play the game... the weirdos need to just hit the hub and leave eve alone damnnnn 😅

throw away your gaystation and buy a PC.

You can also just uninstall the game -- if you were connected and downloaded the Woke-compliant Cancel Culture patch to begin with -- go to the options of the console and disable "Auto-Downloads" and "Auto Downloads while in Rest Mode". That will also prevent the Lunatic Leftist patch.

What was censored?
