Stellar Blade’s momentum hasn’t slowed since arriving on Steam. Shift Up recently released a new performance chart, and the numbers make something very clear: the game’s PC debut has exceeded expectations on every front. After its console release earlier this year, interest in the PC version surged quickly, driven by polished visuals, strong recommendations, and a wave of social media buzz as players shared combat clips and early impressions.
That rising excitement culminated in a major milestone: Stellar Blade hit a peak of 192,000 concurrent players on Steam during launch, marking a moment that firmly places the game in PlayStation history. According to Shift Up’s comparison chart, this peak is more than 2.5 times higher than the previous best launch among PlayStation’s single-player titles ported to PC; a category that includes Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn, and The Last of Us Part I, all of which posted far lower debut peaks.
For Stellar Blade, this isn’t just a sales win; it’s a statement about what players want. The game’s fast-paced combat, stylish presentation, and strong optimization have clearly resonated with the PC audience, giving it a launch footprint significantly larger than some of Sony’s most established franchises. For Sony, the data also sends a message: Premium, polished single-player action games continue to thrive on PC.
Shift Up’s chart positions Stellar Blade at the top with a comfortable lead, and if engagement remains steady, the game may continue setting records over the coming weeks.
