Shift Up has announced that the PC version of Stellar Blade has sold one million copies in its first three days. As the devs noted, this means that Stellar Blade PC achieved the highest level of performance in the history of single-player games developed domestically.
Stellar Blade came out on PS5 last year. And, so far, the game has sold 3 million copies across both platforms. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if the PC version manages to catch up—or even surpass—the PS5 sales within a matter of weeks (or months).
In Stellar Blade, players will assume the role of the powerful heroine Eve. Players will join forces with comrades along the way and take up the challenge against the tough adventure.
Players will engage in blisteringly fast combat as they slash a path through the remnants of Earth. They will unleash graceful yet brutal attacking combos, unlock new moves and weapon upgrades, and face epic boss encounters that will challenge both brain and brawn in equal measure.
Stellar Blade is powered by Unreal Engine 4 and performs extremely well on PC. Even though it uses Denuvo. As we’ve reported, even an NVIDIA RTX 2080Ti is able to offer a smooth gaming experience at 1440p/Max Settings.
The game also supports a number of PC-only features. For instance, there is support for ultrawide monitors. It also supports NVIDIA DLSS 4 and AMD FSR 3.0. Sadly, though, there is no support for Intel XeSS.
The modding community has also been busy these days with Stellar Blade. Right now, you can download a nude mod for it, as well as some alternative suit mods. We all knew these mods would be the first to come out. So, we are not really that surprised by them.
I’ve been playing Stellar Blade lately, and it’s a great game. I’d heard some reports on PS5 that the controls were lagging and that parrying felt delayed. However, that’s not the case on PC. Controls feel great, and the game plays incredibly well with KB&M. Moreover, this is one of the few games that can benefit from gaming at 8K.
All in all, I knew this game would be a big hit on PC. This weekend, it managed to hit a peak of 188K concurrent players on Steam. So, there is a big market for it on PC. Yes, it sucked we didn’t get it alongside the PS5 version. But hey, at least it runs well on PC.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
