Stellar Blade sells 1 million units in 3 days on PC, pushing total to 3 million

Stellar Blade launched last year on PS5 to a wave of success – receiving high praise across the board and selling a ton of copies to boot. Following a great deal of anticipation, the game finally launched on PC last week to almost 200,000 concurrent players. It therefore comes as little surprise that in just 3 days following its PC launch, Stellar Blade had already sold 1 million units on the platform.

Making the announcement via a press release (translated by ReserEra user Neha), Stellar Blade developers SHIFT UP confirmed that “Stellar Blade has surpassed 3 million units sold across all platforms” adding “This milestone was achieved 1 year and 2 months after the PS5 version was released in April of last year.”

More interesting however is the fact that of those 3 million, 1/3rd of the sales hailed from the PC platform in just 3 days.

Of course, Stellar Blade was both a financial and critical success upon its release on PS5 last year, and so the game had a solid 12 months to build excitement and anticipation for the PC release of what was by then a known quantity.

Still, the success of Stellar Blade on PC is notable, and hopefully means that the previously-confirmed sequel is afforded even more resources to ensure it’s just as great if not even better.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
