Stellar Blade Dev Believes PC Release Will Be More Successful Than PS5

Expert Verified By

PC Port Now Confirmed And Expected Soon!

Story Highlight
  • Shift Up has asked investors to look forward to Stellar Blade’s PC port.
  • The studio expects better results on PC than on PS5.
  • A successful launch could encourage the studio to launch Stellar Blade’s sequel on PC from the beginning.

Going into 2024, Stellar Blade was one of the most anticipated titles of the year. The release didn’t disappoint either, with Shift Up confirming that it had sold 1 million units within a few months.

This was a huge milestone for the studio’s first AAA release that launched as a PS5 exclusive. However, the team always had plans to bring Stellar Blade to PC after PS5, and it has just confirmed work on the PC port.

Why it matters: Shift Up’s urgency in working on the PC port highlights the importance of this platform for AAA releases. PC gaming is even more important for studios like Shift Up, which are new to AAA gaming.

As reported by Genki, Shift Up has confirmed to investors that work on the PC port is moving forward swiftly. The team has even asked investors to expect a release in the near future.

This is important since Shift Up has explicitly confirmed the PC port. In the past, the team has dodged around the question, providing hints without saying anything outright. This is not the case anymore.

However, the studio’s second statement is more interesting. According to the report, Shift Up believes Stellar Blade will be more successful on PC than on PS5. This might imply that the team has always known the potential of PC gaming.

Perhaps the team wanted a PC release from day one, but the publishing rights being handed over to PlayStation became a hurdle.

Stellar Blade Led To Record Revenue For Shift Up

Other PS5 exclusives like God of War Ragnarok and Final Fantasy 16 are also set to arrive on PC next month.

If Stellar Blade succeeds on PC, Shift Up might even be inclined to launch the sequel on day one. Steam alone has a much bigger audience than the PS5, so it only seems natural for developers to take PC gaming very seriously.
