Stellar Blade arrived on PC after thirteen months as a PlayStation 5 exclusive. Sony published the PC version just like they did with the console release. The game broke records for single-player titles from Sony on Steam. Peak player counts reached 183,800 people about nineteen hours after launch. Weekend gaming sessions could push numbers even higher.
Ghost of Tsushima held the previous record with 77,100 concurrent players earlier this year. That game featured multiplayer modes which might have boosted its numbers. God of War reached 73,500 players and serves as a better comparison for single-player games. Spider-Man Remastered hit 66,400 players during its peak period. Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition stopped at 56,500 concurrent users.
First games in series performed better than their sequels across most franchises. Horizon Forbidden West peaked at 40,400 players compared to its predecessor. The Last of Us Part I recorded 36,400 concurrent players beating God of War Ragnarok at 35,600. Spider-Man 2 reached only 28,100 players compared to the first game. Days Gone managed 27,400 concurrent players during its launch window.
Lost Soul Aside launches August 29 on PC and consoles simultaneously. Sony will publish this single-player adventure as their first day-one PC release. Strong reviews could help the game surpass Stellar Blade's new record. The gaming industry watches these PC port performances closely.
