Stellar Blade developer Shift Up has revealed more details on the game’s upcoming PC release, and it has high expectations for the platform. In the studio’s Q3 2024 earnings report, Shift Up confirmed that Stellar Blade is “being considered within 2025″ for a PC release–something it has spoken about in the past.
“Considering recent trends such as Steam’s expanding market share in the AAA game sector and the global success of Black Myth: Wukong, we expect the performance on PC to exceed that on consoles,” Shift Up said in its report. To put that into context, Black Myth: Wukong had a strong launch in August with 10 million copies sold in its first three days on PC and PS5, and within two weeks, that figure climbed to 18 million.
Black Myth: Wukong was developed by Chinese studio Game Science and one of the company’s biggest external investors believes that it will sell 30 million copies over its lifetime, a figure that can potentially be reached with its upcoming expansion. In comparison, Stellar Blade reached 1 million sales on PS5 by the end of June.
