SHIFTUP details plans to bring Stellar Blade to more platforms

Stellar Blade has been one of the most successful new IPs released in recent years under Sony, with the PlayStation Studios’ published title selling millions of copies across both the PlayStation 5 (and later on) PC. While a sequel is already announced to be in the works, it appears as though studio SHIFTUP are planning to further expand Stellar Blade to additional platforms this year.

As part of the company’s latest fiscal earnings report (translated by ResetEra user Neha) Stellar Blade studio SHIFTUP were asked about their plans for the IP in 2026. According to the studio:

“Stellar Blade has established itself as a steady, long-tail IP, supported by sustained sales momentum and strong user reception since launch. Building on this foundation, development of the next project is progressing in a structured manner, and we are reviewing plans to share additional details on the follow-up project within the year.”

Adding further context, they continued, “In parallel, we are reviewing platform expansion beyond PS5 and PC to broaden audience reach. This approach is expected to both introduce the title to new players and gradually build anticipation for the next chapter in the series. We expect 2026 to be a year in which more users experience the existing title while momentum and anticipation builds toward the next phase of the franchise.”

As mentioned, Stellar Blade initially started life as a PlayStation 5 exclusive. In the wake of its success however, the title was ported over to PC one year later. Given this fact, the only two platforms which the studio is likely referring to is Xbox and the Switch 2.

While it is possible that Stellar Blade could come to Xbox, the Switch 2 seems more likely – especially as all SHIFTUP developers were gifted free Switch 2’s following the game’s strong launch.

Regardless, it is exciting to see that Stellar Blade is continuing to be a success and will hopefully find an even wider audience throughout the next year as the title is eventually brought over to more platforms.
