During Shift Up's IPO press conference on June 25th, CFO Ahn Jae-woo revealed the company is exploring a PC version of Stellar Blade, viewing it as a strong opportunity for further monetization. This consideration, according to Ahn, takes into account the current PS5 market distribution and the shifting trend of AAA game players migrating towards PC gaming.

Shift Up CEO Kim Hyung-Tae confirmed this, stating the PC version is under review, but a release date remains unconfirmed due to contractual obligations. This aligns with the company's public filings indicating consideration of both a PC release and a sequel.

Kim emphasized Stellar Blade's development goal: creating a high-value IP to cultivate a global fanbase. He highlighted the deliberate avoidance of potentially harmful microtransactions, promising a transparent approach that respects players.
