Stellar Blade Might Have Already Have Sold 1 Million Copies In One Day

Story Highlights Stellar Blade is the latest action-adventure RPG to grace the PlayStation 5 console as an exclusive.

According to a report, the title might already have sold 1 million copies ahead of its April 26 release.

This rumor surfaced within 24 hours of Stellar Blade’s global launch.

Although unconfirmed and coming from a source that hasn’t exactly earned everyone’s trust around the community, Shift Up’s latest action-adventure RPG has sold over 1 million copies within 24 hours of launching. Those are quite the figures, especially for a game that hasn’t even been out for more than 2 days, so to speak.

But again, the information comes from Zuby_Tech on X who is seemingly predicting this occurrence. Of course, an official acknowledgment by Sony or the developer is yet to come. Take this information with a pinch of salt, therefore, though it still bears mentioning that the headline does not come as a surprise, considering the anticipation surrounding Stellar Blade as of late.

Stellar Blade Is Shift Up’s Most Popular Work To Date

For an RPG that’s drawn inspiration from the likes of Nier: Automata, Sekiro, and even Bayonetta, Stellar Blade sure looks the part, and during my playthrough of the demo, I couldn’t help but notice the similarities it shares with all those titles. That said, I will say that the combat feels a little stiff, but the difficulty even when you set it to Normal is quite on point.

For the uninitiated, Yoko Taro — the creator of the Nier franchise — recently admitted that Stellar Blade is “much better” than his own Nier: Automata, passing clear respect and handing out a little morale boost to the folks over at Shift Up.

Stellar Blade came out on April 26, 2024, for the PlayStation 5 exclusively. The game was announced during the PlayStation Showcase in 2021, where it was initially known as Project Eve.

Sheesh, it don’t know which is crappier in this “story,” the sourcing or the writing. Is it impossible for there to be a competent news site about video games?
