- Shift Up expects to see strong momentum from Stellar Blade moving into 2026.

Stellar Blade became one of PlayStation’s biggest exclusives last year, putting Shift Up on the map. In fact, the game’s success inspired a wave of new Korean studios pursuing AAA development.
Since then, Stellar Blade has also been released on the PC platform, leading to satisfying results for the studio. Following this release, the team has now expressed interest in bringing the title to even more platforms.
Why it matters: Stellar Blade’s success has led to demand from fans on other platforms. It seems these demands will be fulfilled next year.
Discussing its latest earnings results, developer Shift Up highlighted its expectations for Stellar Blade for the last quarter of 2025 and 2026.
According to the studio, the game is expected to continue performing well. The studio also confirmed plans to pursue promotional activities in an attempt to further boost sales and IP recognition.
Among these plans, the team is considering additional platform expansions. The goal is to bring Stellar Blade to more players, hinting at a release on the Nintendo Switch 2 or Xbox Series S|X.
We plan to carry out various promotional activities and are considering additional platform expansions to make Stellar Blade accessible to more players.
Recently, PlayStation has brought first-party IPs like Horizon to the Switch and others like Helldivers to the Xbox Series S|X. Therefore, with Stellar Blade being a non-PlayStation owned IP, the game could also make the move to rival platforms at some point next year.
Moreover, Shift Up is planning a Stellar Blade sequel for the future. Given the studio’s plans to pursue multiple platforms, it will be interesting to see whether a similar strategy is used for the sequel.
Do you think an Xbox Series S|X or Switch 2 release would be a good idea for the game? Share your opinions in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
