Shift Up told investors that they preparing to release Stellar Blade on PC in the near future and expect it to perform even better on PC than on console​

​

 

[Denton]

It would have probably performed better on PC with simultanous launch, but late ports always sell worse due to missing the hype window and people being more inclined to wait for sales (I was made to wait already anyway, right?).

But in long run, it will probably sell more copies, but it will take years. Mods will help.

 

[DenchDeckard]

 

[BennyBlanco]

The mods will be peak

 

[Punished Miku]

Doesn't sound like it sold all that well on console. They're constantly having to address investors regarding that decision. If it can't even beat the roughly 1 million sold on console that's rough.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Awesome, I’ve been waiting for the PC version!

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Great game! GOTY nominee imo.
I assume any 3rd party exclusive will eventually be on PC, and they all probably should.

 

[Celcius]

I'd be down to give this a try. Wondering if they will charge full price.

 

[yurinka]

A few months ago they told the investors that were considering a PC port and a sequel. Which is different than telling them to be working on a PC port and the sequel.

But yes, make sure they'll port it to pc.

 

[SonicVolcano]

Stellar Booba.

 

[deeptech]

Nervous about the mods... but then again....

 

[Magic Carpet]

Does this have an easy mode?

 

[poppabk]

I bet they are looking at the Black Myth:Wukong numbers on Steam right now and kicking themselves.

 

[Sentenza]

"and expect it to perform even better on PC than on console"

Eh, maybe with a concurrent release.
With a delayed port they wasted a lott of the buzz/hype around launch, so this seems unlikely.

 

[OverHeat]

Day 1

 

[Punished Miku]

I bet they are looking at the Black Myth:Wukong numbers on Steam right now and kicking themselves.

I'm honestly shocked they agreed to a deal that locked out PC considering they're from South Korea. They should kick themselves. This was marketed heavily too.

 

[Inuteu]

just imagine the mods

+ photo mode

yeah I'd wait for a sale at this point
I already watched a twitch streamer play through it on ps5

 

[Inuteu]

Does this have an easy mode?

yes. but playing in normal mode is the perfect balance imo

 

[ssringo]

I'll be there as a day 1 double dipper but I don't see it selling more than on PS5; at least not in the short term. The hype has passed.

Happy to be wrong though.

They are probably expecting Korea to carry it. Nobody plays on consoles in Korea.

 

[R6Rider]

Nice. Still my GotY so far.

I know people like to mock PC gamers for port begging, but honestly sometimes you can tell that devs are shooting themselves in the foot by not going for a simultaneous release.

 

[Schmendrick]

Can´t imagine that it will do particularly well on PC. Its 15 minutes of public attention are over already.
Anything but a simultaneous release is just a lot of money you chose to leave on the table, as long as we`re not talking about PR material which generally encompasses all first party offerings from platform owners.

 

[Dazraell]

Purple forum has to be in mourning today. Wukong beats records on Steam, Acolyte got cancelled, Stellar Blade will get a PC port. Now I'm hoping for Hogwarts Legacy: Director's Cut announcement on Gamescom's ONL lol

 

[ReyBrujo]

I already watched a twitch streamer play through it on ps5

Which we know is the same as playing it.

 

[Celcius]

I'm basically saying I already know the plot so I wouldn't pay full price for it

 

[Plague Doctor]

Bring this shit to Steam and you may get yourself a sale at launch price and I normally don't do launch day prices for AAA.

 

[Generic]

Doesn't sound like it sold all that well on console. They're constantly having to address investors regarding that decision. If it can't even beat the roughly 1 million sold on console that's rough.

The devs promised no censorship yet they censored the game on the first day.

 

[captainpat]

Character model mods are gonna go crazy.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Character model mods are gonna go crazy.

First mod is going to be 100% nude Eve.

Second mod will bring back the non-patched versions of the censored costumes.

Third mod will bring back the Hard R (nexus mods will immediately ban it and it will show up in based mods).

Fourth mod is going to be Eve with tits three times their size.

Fifth mod is going to be Eve with her ass twice as large.

After that, who knows.

Huh? They've reached 1 million sold copies ~2 months after release

Shift Up CFO Ahn Jae-woo said:

Since its launch, it has ranked first in sales in major console markets such as the US and UK, and cumulative sales are estimated to have exceeded 1 million units.

pls no denuvo

 

[Fermbiz]

 

[MikeM]

Day 1 so long as its not broken AF on release day.

 

[Fake]

Hope this will secure a sequel. This game deserves every bit of love.

 

[ReBurn]

It's gonna be Christmas for the coomers

 

[MagiusNecros]

Will buy day 0. It'll be the closest I'm gonna get to fulfill my Senran Kagura craving. Gamers just want hot girls to swing sword in sexy clothes.

 

[//DEVIL//]

hype died down. would have sold way more if it was day one.

oh well. better late than nothing. and its a great game btw people. play it.

 

[nikos]

Will buy it on day one.

Oh, there will be LGBTQ Eve suits on Nexus Mods in order to 'own the chuds', but who the fuck cares.

 

[Buggy Loop]

The mods will be peak

This game has one hand controller support right?

For accessibility purposes of course

Sony literally helped them develop the game so I don't think they're kicking themselves over anything. It wouldn't even exist without Sony helping, their only other games are mobile games
