Stellar Blade, the acclaimed action RPG from Korean developer Shift Up, has made an explosive debut on PC. Released on June 11, 2025, the game surpassed 1 million PC sales in just three days, as confirmed by Yonhap News. The milestone not only solidifies its success beyond consoles but also positions Stellar Blade as one of the fastest-selling former PlayStation exclusives on Steam.
From PlayStation Darling to PC Powerhouse
Originally launched on PS5 in April 2024, Stellar Blade received critical acclaim for its fast-paced combat, rich sci-fi world, and compelling protagonist, Eve. After a year of anticipation, the PC version landed with enhancements including:
-
New Nano Suits (cosmetics),
-
Additional language support for voice and facial animations,
-
And a brand-new boss battle to engage returning fans.
These upgrades, along with PC-specific optimizations, helped the game hit the ground running.
A Record-Breaking Debut
On launch day, Stellar Blade quickly surpassed 100,000 concurrent players on Steam, placing it just behind Helldivers 2 as the second Sony-published game to hit that mark. It also received more than 8,500 Steam reviews within 24 hours — a staggering 96% of which were positive.
With over 3 million total sales across all platforms, Stellar Blade is not just a critical success, but a global commercial juggernaut.
Why the PC Version Resonates
Several factors contributed to this PC success:
-
The game runs beautifully on a wide range of hardware, with 4K, ultrawide, and high refresh rate support.
-
Shift Up’s attention to fan feedback, localization, and performance patches made it a model port.
-
The vibrant modding scene has already started adding new skins, visual effects, and UI tweaks, enhancing replayability.
