Quick TakeArticle at a glance
- Stellar Blade outfits break into three separate unlock tracks — free story/quest rewards, paid DLC packs, and shop purchases — and most guides list all of them together without saying which is which, which is the one distinction that actually matters if you don't want to spend money.
- As of version 1.014.001, EVE has 126 total outfits, with an additional 15 across Lily and Adam.
- The detail that generates the most "why can't I find this outfit" searches is that several NG+ and NG++ costumes are only obtainable if you opened the specific chest containing them during an earlier playthrough — simply starting New Game+ isn't enough on its own.
Stellar Blade outfits break into three separate unlock tracks — free story/quest rewards, paid DLC packs, and shop purchases — and most guides list all of them together without saying which is which, which is the one distinction that actually matters if you don’t want to spend money. Current as of version 1.014.001, last updated September 14, 2026.
How Many Outfits Does Stellar Blade Actually Have
As of version 1.014.001, EVE has 126 total outfits, with an additional 15 across Lily and Adam. None of these carry stat bonuses — every outfit in Stellar Blade is purely cosmetic, so the choice between them is about preference, not build optimization. That also means there’s no gameplay cost to picking whichever outfit unlocks earliest instead of chasing a specific look.
Free vs. Paid: Where Each Outfit Actually Comes From
This is the split most outfit lists skip. The majority of EVE’s wardrobe unlocks through normal story progression and side quests at zero cost, but a meaningful chunk is locked behind either real-money DLC or New Game+ replays — and those two categories get treated as interchangeable in a lot of coverage, when they require completely different amounts of player effort.
| Unlock Track | Examples | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Story & side quests | Ocean String (requires finishing the Strange Signal quest after Digger and Enya) | Free, tied to normal playthrough progress |
| In-game vendors | Roxanne’s Shop (Xion), Lyle’s General Store, Clyde’s Shop swimwear line | Free, purchased with in-game currency |
| New Game+ / NG++ | Outfits tied to chests opened in a previous playthrough | Free, but requires a full replay and specific prior choices |
| Paid DLC | Six Goddess of Victory: Nikke crossover outfits | Real-money purchase |
| Special editions | Stargazer Suit | Included only with the Digital Deluxe Edition |
The NG+ Trap: Why Some Outfits Never Show Up on a First Playthrough
The detail that generates the most “why can’t I find this outfit” searches is that several NG+ and NG++ costumes are only obtainable if you opened the specific chest containing them during an earlier playthrough — simply starting New Game+ isn’t enough on its own. If you’re chasing full outfit completion, the practical move is to look up which chests hold outfit rewards before you finish your first run, so you don’t have to replay the entire campaign a second time just to backtrack for one missed chest.
The Skin Suit Isn’t Unlocked, It’s Uncovered
The Skin Suit doesn’t need to be earned at all — it’s available from the very start of the game, and simply doesn’t appear in the Nano Suit list until you unequip whatever outfit EVE is currently wearing. Open the Equipment menu, hover over the equipped suit, and unequip it; the Skin Suit takes its place automatically. The tradeoff most outfit lists leave out: wearing it disables EVE’s shield entirely, so anyone using it for the look needs to lean harder on dodging, blinking, and parrying instead.
Commercial Success Since the PC Port
Stellar Blade’s PC version launched in June 2025, over a year after the original April 2024 PS5 release, and mobile analytics firm Sensor Tower estimates the game has sold roughly 6.1 million copies combined across both platforms as of 2026 — about 3.7 million on PS5 and 2.4 million on PC, with PC revenue alone estimated at more than $100 million. That’s context for why the outfit list keeps growing: a game still selling well keeps getting new crossover and seasonal costume drops.
