- Stellar Blade’s PC release has been a major success.
- The game helped Shift Up make one record after another.
- Its Q2 2025 results have also been incredibly impressive, with profits up 72.4% YoY.
Stellar Blade was finally released on PC this year after a lot of demand from the fandom. As usual, the game was restricted to countries with PSN availability, but the developer urged Sony to release it globally, allowing all fans to enjoy it.
On launch, the game saw immense success as it sold 1 million copies on the PC platform almost 20 times faster than it did on the PS5. Now, Shift Up has reported a profit for Q2 2025, mainly because of how successful the game was on PC.
Why it matters: Releasing a game on PC is always a strong choice, as it offers access to one of the largest and most diverse gaming markets in the world.
The developer has marked the end of Q2 2025, with its highest ever figures, mainly because of the successful release of Stellar Blade. The quarterly performance has increased by 72.4% and 166.1% Yoy and QoQ, respectively.
The Korean company has earned around 112 billion won ($81 million) in this quarter. Among this figure, more than half of the revenue was brought by Stellar Blade. The game helped the developer make $47.3 million this quarter. YoY, the revenue is up by 154.1%, and QoQ, the revenue is up by a whopping 837.3%.
Due to the success of Stellar Blade, Sony may now release its console-exclusive games more quickly on the PC platform. According to an insider, the gaming giant has made plans to do that, but nothing has been officially confirmed.
Nevertheless, the Stellar Blade developer listened to the fans, and ever since, it has been showing pretty positive financial reports. The developer is already working on a sequel, which is potentially targeting a 2026 release date.
