A PC Release Sooner Than Expected?

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

Shift Up's CEO, Kim Hyung-Tae, corroborated this, confirming the PC version is under review but refraining from specifying a release date due to contractual obligations. This aligns with the company's public filings indicating plans for a PC release and a potential sequel.

Kim emphasized Stellar Blade's development aimed to cultivate a high-value IP, fostering a global fanbase without compromising the brand through potentially harmful microtransactions.

Exciting Updates and Collaborations on the Way!

Stellar Blade's post-launch support is robust, with a confirmed roadmap of updates and DLC. 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 expressed optimism about creating positive synergy between the IPs.

A Million Copies Sold Worldwide!

Stellar Blade's phenomenal success is undeniable. Shift Up reports approximately one million copies sold globally within two months of its release. It achieved the #1 spot in various PS5 exclusive charts across sixty different stores in major markets like the US and UK. Furthermore, it boasts the highest user rating among PS5 exclusives on Metacritic, earning a 9.2/10 "Universal Acclaim" score.
