Stellar Blade sets PlayStation record with highest single-player CCU on Steam

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 – seeing over 100,000 concurrent players. Even so, Stellar Blade has only continued to grow, with the single player title now seeing just shy of 200,000 CCU.

In the immediacy following its PC release, SHIFTUP’s Stellar Blade amassed a record breaking number of concurrent players for a PlayStation published title on PC with over 100,000 CCU.

This marked a notable jump over all of PlayStation’s other single player titles on PC – the previous record holder of which was Ghost of Tsushima with 77K concurrents.

Over the weekend, Stellar Blade has only furthered its lead, with the title now easily doubling the peak CCU of GoT at 192,078 players.

Of course, it is worth noting that last year’s Helldivers II remains Sony’s biggest PC title with 458,709 concurrent players. That said, unlike Stellar Blade, Helldivers II is a multiplayer-only live-service title – and so concurrent player counts matter more in these instances.

Still, with almost triple the CCU of the next-best single player PlayStation title, Stellar Blade is undeniably a huge hit which was worth the wait.
