Stellar Blade: A Major Player in the 2025 Gaming Landscape
Just three days after its release on PC, the game by Shift Up has achieved a remarkable milestone of 1 million copies sold, a figure that has surprised even the most seasoned competitors. This news was quickly disseminated, highlighting the noteworthy point that while Stellar Blade has reached 1 million sales, the PlayStation 5 version of the game is expected to launch in two months.
Current Earnings and Production Costs
As of now, the total revenue for Stellar Blade across all platforms has surpassed 3 million copies sold, while production costs are estimated to be around 30 to 50 million USD.
This suggests that Shift Up is not only recovering its investment but also generating substantial profits from this successful title, marking a significant achievement for a completely new brand. However, the community continues to engage in discussions, not merely focusing on the action gameplay, but also on the artistic aspects that have come to define this title.
On the very first day of its appearance on PC, Stellar Blade was already being “cared for” by the modding community. The Nexus Mods page quickly became flooded with various mods, including those inspired by NieR: Automata – a game renowned for its creative modding community – featuring a significant number of mods available on launch day. It’s not hard to guess which mod has gained the most attention: the main character, Eve, depicted in various captivating scenarios. Indeed, this is just one of many mods currently being shared at an impressive pace.
The emergence of these mods has made Stellar Blade a prominent title on PC, surpassing even the high-profile gaming titles that Sony has introduced on this platform. Additionally, the demo version released earlier also attracted considerable attention from the gaming community, especially among PC users who enjoy customizing and modifying games to their personal preferences.
