SHIFT UP has released their Q3 2024 Business Performance Results to the public, and along with it comes some surprising news; the PlayStation 5 exclusive Stellar Blade is planned for a PC release via Steam in 2025.
As stated in the Q&A section of the report, the success of games such as Black Myth: Wukong and Steam's expanding market share are two of the main factors that lead the company to make this decision.

Q.1 : How were the results of <Stellar Blade> in 3Q ‘24 and what are the expectations until the end of this year?
A.1 : After its release as a PS5 exclusive title in April, sales continued at a stabilized level through the 3Q. To enhance the IP value and maintain momentum, we have been consistently releasing content patches and updates, which has helped sustain the game’s popularity. With the addition of the <Nier: Automata> DLC and ongoing marketing activities, we plan to maintain the IP's popularity until the platform expansion
Q.2: When is the expected date of platform expansion of <Stellar Blade> and what are the expected results?
A.2 : The release is being considered within 2025. Considering recent trends such as Steam's expanding market share in the AAA game sector and the global success of <Black Myth: Wukong>, we expect the performance on PC to exceed that on consoles.
