Stellar Blade Execs Looking to Release on PC --------------------------------------------Sooner Than We Think?
At Shift Up's IPO press conference on June 25, CFO Ahn Jae-woo shared that the company is actively exploring a PC version of Stellar Blade.

This insight was reported by GameMeca and translated by Game8.
Furthermore, CEO Kim Hyung-Tae confirmed that the company is reviewing the Stellar Blade PC version but refrained from providing a specific release date due to contractual obligations.
