Reliable industry insider @Zuby_Tech recently shared some interesting details on Stellar Blade's potential sales figures at launch. The insider suggested that Shift Up's action-adventure, hack and slash game will easily hit 1 million sold units in just 24 hours.

The ambitious title was initially revealed back in 2019 and was confirmed to be made on Unreal Engine 4. Leading up to its debut this year, the PS5 exclusive managed to gain positive momentum despite controversies surrounding its female protagonist Eve, and her character design.

When the demo was launched last month, it was appreciated by a large section of the community thanks to an amazing gameplay experience, immersive visuals, and captivating music. The demo was so successful that it eventually attracted close to 690,000 daily active players. Perhaps that was a clear indication of Stellar Blade's "stellar" performance in sales for Sony and Shift Up.

It will be interesting to see when the developing studio and the publisher will reveal the exact sales numbers going forward.
