Stellar Blade and Goddess of Victory: Nikke developer Shift Up has summed up its financial results for 2024. Here’re the key takeaways from the company’s first report after going public.
Stellar Blade arrives on PC and the results are, well, stellar.
The RTX 3060 released in 2021. Go back to middle school. What a dumb article.
Following the success of PS5 and PC, Shift Up are also targeting new platforms.
Not shocking it was announce as a multiplatform game before Sony threw money at them.
I thankful for PearlAbyss(korean dev) rejected sony cash for CrimsonDesert, so everyone can enjoy their game.
They rejected their money so much yet they allowed them to publish the game on steam?
Please it's the year 2025 enjoy gaming without becoming attached to a box
Xbox maybe 2 or 3 years after they release on Switch 2 when they can collect some game pass money cause no one on Xbox will be buying it. We see what happened with FF16.
They helped a lot with development to shape the game it became, it's not your typical MS throw money at the wall and hope it sticks type of deal that usually doesn't work out.
The fact it isn't being considered for Xbox should tell you all you need to know.
It's a Shift Up game so they can put it wherever they want once the PS5 exclusivity is up.
Sony spent money & got first dibs, maybe XB should have leaped first or is it possible that had no interest.
Makes sense, a Nintendo release will help with sales in JP and at worse add a few hundred thousand sales globally.
720p@60fps medium-low upscaled to 1440p DLSS docked
&
540p@60fps medium-low upscaled to 1080p DLSS handheld
Should be possible without any issues.
Given the steam version is already in the millions the switch 2 version should easily do that
Good, another 3rd party game sony paid to keep xbox players from playing. Lets hope the xbox port is not far off after switch.
this partnership was so much more than sony paying to keep xbox players from playing it:

the game wouldn't have become what it is today without sony's support.
you know... we have been told that before, plenty of times. That excuse does not work anymore.
Don't worry the delusion is real with these fanboys. Not one person is this comment section mentioned that Tencent bought a 20% stake in Shift Up. Where's the outrage in that? Sony pays for and funds a game to be exclusive and to help develop. Bring out the pitch forks.
MS buys 2 publishers, one of them being the biggest in the industry, crickets. The math ain't mathin. Shift Up is a 3rd party company and they can do what they want. It's always been that way. I have no sympathy for the richest company in the world.
No disagrees from me. There is no point lol.
After the pathetic sales of FF16 on xbox, shift up probably isnt all that keen on making a port for xbox.
Even Shift Up admits Stellar Blade's story isn't the best, and also confirmed the in-development story DLC has now been shifted to the sequel.
Good to see the devs acknowledge it. Thoguht the gameplay was fun but I could really care less for Eve or any of the characters. Hopefully the sequel will give Eve actual personality.
I thought it was a decent enough but there is room for improvement for sure. There were a few good side quest stories hidden in there, so hopefully they add more of those in the next game.
I like devs who are self critical. That means they want to be better so they can make a better game and that’s music to my ears. .
Maybe thats true, but thats okay. Strength exists because of weakness, and vice versa.
Well deserved! Stellar Blade was awesome. May double dip on the PC release.
Stellar Blade is amazing and my GOTY along with Astro Bot. I'm excited for the new IP this studio is working on and hopefully a Stellar Blade 2 in the future
It’s a damn good game.
Good for them.
I'm glad it shows you can make a game without having to put in on every current gen, last geen, pc, mobile, toaster and it will sell if it is good.
All that before a PC release!
Will be interesting to see if PC does better worse or about the same.
