The highly anticipated PlayStation published game, Stellar Blade, recently made its debut on PC, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Within less than 24 hours of its release, the game has already reached a peak player count of 99,980 on SteamDB, setting a new record for a PlayStation published single player title on the platform.

For comparison, other popular PlayStation titles like Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition, The Last of Us Part 1, and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered have peak player counts ranging from 30,690 to 66,436. Stellar Blade's success is further highlighted by its current "overwhelmingly positive" Steam review average, with players praising its smooth performance and engaging gameplay.

Shift Up, the company behind Stellar Blade, had previously predicted that the PC version of the game would outsell its console counterparts due to the larger market share of PC devices in the AAA gaming industry. The company's financial report in February emphasized the growing popularity of single-player action games in the Asian gaming market, further supporting their expectations for the PC version's success.

If you're considering trying out Stellar Blade on PC for the first time, Eurogamer's review of the game highlights its unique features and captivating gameplay.
