Shift Up announced a free update and first PC Sale for Stellar Blade, which has now surpassed three million copies sold across PlayStation 5 and PC. This achievement highlights the game’s growing popularity and its ability to resonate with a global audience, especially considering that it is a completely new intellectual property.

To thank the community for its support, the developers have rolled out a substantial free update that not only addresses several technical issues but also introduces new quests and an unexpected musical gift for all players.

Free Update Adds Quests and Gift for Players

The newly released patch, labeled version 1.014 on PlayStation 5 and 1.4.0 on PC, introduces a set of quests that players can access via the Bulletin Board. These quests will be available beginning September 24 for PlayStation 5 users and September 30 for PC users, ensuring that both communities receive the content within the same week. Upon completing these missions, players will be rewarded with a special surprise, further reinforcing Shift Up’s commitment to rewarding loyal fans.

In addition, players can now visit “The Last Gulp” in Xion to collect “A Thank You Gift From Enya.” This bonus comes in the form of six beautifully rearranged tracks based on existing background music from the game. The inclusion of these musical arrangements provides a nostalgic yet refreshing experience, showcasing the studio’s dedication to enriching the world of Stellar Blade beyond just combat updates.

Alongside these additions, the patch resolves several gameplay issues, including bugs related to boss encounters, side quests, and the NIKKE collaboration mini-game. For PC players specifically, the update also improves input handling, fixes UI inconsistencies, and eliminates graphical glitches on select monitors.

First PC Sale Launches Alongside Update

To make things even more exciting, Shift Up has also launched the first-ever sale for the PC version of Stellar Blade. Starting today, players can purchase the game at a 20% discount through both Steam and the Epic Games Store. This marks a perfect opportunity for new fans to experience the game’s striking visuals and fast-paced combat while veteran players benefit from the newly added free content.

A Strong Start for a New IP

The success of Stellar Blade demonstrates just how well a fresh intellectual property can perform when it combines compelling gameplay with impressive presentation. After its initial release on PlayStation 5 in April 2024, the game already garnered praise for its fluid combat system and cinematic design.

However, its PC debut in June 2025 propelled it to new heights, as it sold one million copies within only three days of launch. This surge in popularity, particularly strong in the Asian market, pushed total sales past the three-million milestone in record time.

With more free updates already in development, Shift Up continues to build momentum for Stellar Blade while reinforcing its reputation as one of the most promising studios in the industry. The combination of ongoing support, discounted access for new players, and a thriving player base firmly establishes the title as one of the most successful new IPs of this console generation.
