Starting a New Game Plus save
In Stellar Blade, you can start the New Game Plus mode from the main menu after completing the game and selecting the 'New Game+' option.
Make sure you have the latest update downloaded for the game. As mentioned, the mode is not included from the outset and comes with an update, which usually gets auto-downloaded and installed if you're connected to an active internet connection.

However, once you start your New Game Plus, your progress will reset. So if you want to keep your save file of the first playthrough, make sure to back it up with cloud storage.
