A PC Port Sooner Than Expected?

During Shift Up's IPO press conference on June 25th, CFO Ahn Jae-woo revealed the company's interest in a PC version of Stellar Blade, viewing it as a significant monetization opportunity. This decision, according to Ahn, considers the current PS5 market share and the growing shift of AAA game players towards PC platforms.

CEO Kim Hyung-Tae corroborated this, confirming the PC version is under review, though a release date remains unannounced due to contractual obligations. This is further supported by the company's public filings mentioning both a PC release and a potential sequel.

Kim emphasized that Stellar Blade's development aimed to create a high-value IP, fostering a global fanbase. To protect the brand's integrity, they deliberately avoided potentially harmful elements like aggressive microtransactions.

Future Updates and Collaborations on the Way!

The excitement doesn't end there! Shift Up has outlined a roadmap of updates and DLC for Stellar Blade. This includes a highly anticipated Photo Mode (August), new costumes (October), and a major collaboration later this year.

Regarding the recent collaboration with Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, Kim stated that they are exploring synergistic opportunities between the IPs.

One Million Copies Sold Worldwide!

Stellar Blade's success is undeniable. Shift Up reports approximately one million copies sold globally within two months of launch. The game also achieved top rankings in various markets, including the US and UK, across sixty different stores since its April release.

Furthermore, Stellar Blade boasts the highest user rating for a PS5 exclusive on Metacritic, earning a remarkable 9.2/10.
