Developer Shift Up has announced that their acclaimed action-adventure game Stellar Blade has surpassed three million units sold since its initial release. This impressive milestone comes shortly after the game's highly anticipated PC version launch, which has contributed significantly to these sales figures.

Originally launched exclusively for PlayStation 5 in 2024, Stellar Blade quickly became a commercial success, moving over one million copies within its first two months on the market. While the game sparked some controversy upon release, it generally received favorable reviews from critics, earning an average score of 82 on OpenCritic.

The PC version, released on June 11, brought several enhancements including DualSense controller support, Nvidia DLSS 4 resolution scaling, and AMD FSR 3 compatibility. This port proved exceptionally successful, with reports indicating it sold over one million PC copies in just three days. Additionally, the game achieved over 100,000 concurrent players on Steam within 24 hours of launch, becoming Sony's second title after Helldivers 2 to reach this milestone on the platform.

The availability of unofficial mods through platforms like Nexus Mods has further boosted the game's popularity among PC gamers. The modding community has embraced Stellar Blade, creating various customization options that have enhanced the player experience.

Shift Up has already confirmed plans for a Stellar Blade sequel, with company presentations suggesting a potential 2026 release window. However, the developer has cautioned that this timeline remains tentative given the complexities of modern game development. Alongside the sequel, Shift Up is working on expanding the Stellar Blade platform and developing a new title codenamed Project Spirits, described as an "Eastern fantasy" game.

Details about Project Spirits remain scarce, though an initial concept image revealed two anime-style female characters - one dark-haired warrior and a pink-haired glasses-wearing companion. Some fans speculate this new project might follow a gacha game format similar to Shift Up's previous title Destiny Child, which concluded service in 2023.

With its strong sales performance across both console and PC platforms, Stellar Blade has established itself as a significant success for Shift Up and Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game's continued popularity suggests a bright future for the franchise as the developer expands its universe with new content and potential sequels.
