Shift Up, the studio behind Stellar Blade, acknowledged a potential PC port as a "great way to monetise the IP once again," but said it could not provide any further details due to a "contractual relationship."

The details:

  • Shift Up CFO Jaewoo Ahn discussed the port during the company's recent IPO press conference (via GameMeca and VGC), stating that it was "currently looking at a PC version of Stellar Blade, which we believe would be a great way to monetise the IP once again." CEO Kim Hyung-Tae added that the developer "cannot comment on the exact timing or whether it will be released due to the contractual relationship."

  • A public offering filing was discovered on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index in early 2023, in which the studio confirmed that a PC port and sequel could be released in the future. The game is currently exclusive to the PS5, but other Sony-published titles, such as God of War and Ghost of Tsushima, have since appeared on PC, with Sony working to integrate the ports into PlayStation Network.

  • Stellar Blade was released in April to critical acclaim for its visuals and gameplay, and it sold over one million copies worldwide despite a group of players protesting the alleged censorship of some in-game outfits for protagonist Eve. Future DLC content and collaborations are also confirmed to be in the works.
