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

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.
