Stellar Blade's Potential PC Release

A PC Port on the Horizon?

During Shift Up's IPO press conference on June 25th, CFO Ahn Jae-woo indicated the company is exploring a PC version of Stellar Blade, viewing it as a significant opportunity for further monetization. This consideration, according to Ahn, takes into account the current PS5 market distribution and the growing shift of AAA game players towards PC gaming.

Shift Up CEO Kim Hyung-Tae corroborated this, confirming the company is reviewing the possibility of a PC release and a potential sequel. However, due to contractual obligations, he couldn't comment on a release timeline. This review is publicly documented in the company's filings.

Kim also emphasized that Stellar Blade's development aimed to create a high-value IP, fostering a global fanbase. He highlighted their deliberate avoidance of potentially harmful microtransactions, promising a transparent approach appreciated by players.

Future Updates and Collaborations

Beyond a potential PC release, Stellar Blade has a robust update and DLC roadmap. This includes a highly anticipated Photo Mode in August, new costumes in October, and a major collaboration later in the year.

Regarding the recent collaboration with Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, Kim stated that Shift Up is exploring synergistic opportunities between the IPs and anticipates positive results.

A Million Copies Sold Worldwide!

Stellar Blade's success is undeniable. Shift Up estimates approximately one million copies sold worldwide within two months of its release. The game achieved top rankings in major markets like the US and UK across sixty different stores since its April launch, solidifying its position as a PS5 exclusive hit. Furthermore, Stellar Blade boasts the highest user rating for a PS5 exclusive on Metacritic, receiving a 9.2/10 and earning "Universal Acclaim." [Link to your Stellar Blade review here].
