Stellar Blade launched on PS5 in April 2024 after a long and protracted development cycle. The game was received extremely well, and sits currently at a critic score of 81 on Metacritic and 9.2 user score. SHIFT UP is currently in the middle of the PC port for the game as well, and early accounts show pretty encouraging trends, with the game clocking close to 100k active player count on Steam. While the game had already crossed the 1 million copies landmark in June 2024 itself, the developers are confident of the PC numbers being eventually higher than the PS5 numbers for the game.
