PC players can look forward to yet anotherPlayStation 5game asone of the console’s biggest 2024 releases confirms that it’s making the jump away from console exclusivity. In recent years, Sony has made a big effort to expand into the world of PC gaming by releasing several of its most popular titles on both Steam and the Epic Games Store; It’s a move that proved controversial amongst PlayStation fans but has been well-received by the PC community. The company clearly has no plans on slowing down this expansion as yet another PS5 exclusive is coming to PC.
PerGematsu, developerShift Up revealed that it’s planning to launch a PC version of its hit action-adventure gameStellar Bladein 2025. Speaking during a third-quarter 2024 earnings report, the studio noted that the success of games likeBlack Myth: Wukonghas led to hopes thatStellar Bladewill be even more successful on Steam than it was on PlayStation 5. Shift Up has yet to lock in a specific release date for the port but more information will be shared in the coming months.; It will likely launch after the PC version ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2.
Stellar Blade Should Do Well On PC
It’s A Fun Game Supported By Its Graphics
Stellar Blademay seem like a flash in the pan for PlayStation but the game managed topull in some decent reviews.Critics were impressed by its visuals while also noting that the combat was satisfyingfor those who want to dig into it and simple enough for anyone just looking todestroy enemies with style. Those aspects may have been strong, butStellar Blade’s characters, story, and pacing were all criticized for being dull, dragging down what should have been an exciting adventure.
Regardless,it’s difficult to seeStellar Bladefailing to perform on PC. The game has managed to accrue a cult following on PlayStation 5 so it’s likely that the expanded audience of Steam will only grow its established fan base. PlayStation games on PC have been a mixed bag in terms of reception but there haven’t been any thatcould be considered outright failures.

Stellar Blade’s PC Port Makes Sense
Even If It’s Happening Faster Than Expected
I thoughtStellar Bladewas a decent experiencebut not one I’d rush to purchase again on PC;I found the writing to be especially painful but the combat was enjoyable enough. I’m glad that more people will be able to play Shift Up’s game simply because console exclusivity is such a frustrating part of the industry. I’m always happy to see Sony giving those who may not own aPlayStation 5a chanceto play some of the console’s most popular releases.
