After launching exclusively on PlayStation in April, Stellar Blade is finally coming to PC! Here's everything we know about the upcoming PC release.
Stellar Blade PC Edition Arrives Next Year
Potential PSN Requirement Looms Over PC Release
Following months of speculation sparked by SHIFT UP CFO Jaewoo Ahn's comments during the company's IPO press conference, the developer has officially announced a 2025 PC release date for Stellar Blade.
The confirmation came during SHIFT UP's latest financial earnings report, where developers highlighted the growing PC gaming market and success stories like Black Myth: Wukong as reasons for expansion. While no specific launch date was provided, the studio outlined plans to maintain momentum through DLC collaborations and upcoming features.
The move follows Sony's recent pattern of bringing first-party titles to PC, though raises concerns about potential platform restrictions. As a Sony-published title, Stellar Blade may require PC players to link PlayStation Network accounts - a policy that would block access for gamers in countries without PSN services.
The PSN requirement remains unconfirmed, and SHIFT UP's ownership of the IP leaves room for speculation. However, if implemented, this restriction could impact the game's potential to surpass console sales figures as projected.
