A new mod for Stellar Blade has been released that adds major visual upgrades to the game by introducing ray-traced global illumination (RTGI). Developed by Atlas813 and available for download on Nexus Mods, this mod doesn’t require any additional paid assets-ReShade is all you need to get it up and running. 
The RTGI implementation enhances lighting by providing proper light bouncing and diffuse lights, which makes the game’s environment feel more natural and vibrant.
In addition to the RTGI, the mod introduces ambient light correction, as well as a sharpening effect that selectively sharpens close objects while leaving distant elements untouched. These changes result in an overall visual boost, and the difference is noticeable in the comparison screenshots provided (captured at 1080p, max settings, and NVIDIA DLSS Quality).
Originally launched on PlayStation 5 last year, Stellar Blade made its way to PC with all the same content available on the console version. A recent patch for the PC version has added even more features, such as a Hard Mode accessible during the first playthrough, improved VRAM usage tracking, and various other updates to improve the overall gameplay experience.
Stellar Blade is available now on both PC and PlayStation 5 worldwide.

Can’t believe all this with just ReShade. Props to the modder!
I was hoping for something more than just ReShade stuff. Feels a bit like a cheat, tbh
