Stellar Blade Heading to Nintendo Switch 2?
Big news for gamers: Stellar Blade is reportedly making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. According to sources from the Korean site PlayForum, developer Shift Up is currently working on a port of the hit action game for Nintendo’s new console, following Stellar Blade’s impressive performance on Steam.
Shift Up, the company behind the game, has also taken an interesting step by gifting hundreds of Nintendo Switch 2 systems to its employees. While there’s excitement in the air, the developer has stated that “nothing is confirmed” yet about the Switch version, although they are “reviewing various possibilities internally.”
Publishers like Sony Interactive Entertainment have historically kept their titles mainly on PlayStation platforms, but they’ve allowed some releases on Nintendo in the past. The big question remains: will Sony publish this potential Switch version? While they have yet to port many of their titles to the Switch, the increased power of Nintendo’s new device might change the game.
What This Could Mean for Gamers
The arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2 is already seeing a surge of modern third-party games. Titles like Elden Ring and Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade are making their way to the handheld, and gamers are excited about what else is to come. With open-world games like Cyberpunk 2077 already available, this sets a strong precedent for future ports.
Since its recent launch on Steam, Stellar Blade has quickly become a major hitâ€â€boasting PlayStation’s biggest single-player success on PC. Adding a Switch version could not only attract more players but also expand its audience further.
On top of all this, Shift Up has also confirmed plans for a sequel to the original PS5 game, with a release window that may come sooner than expected. This goes to show that Stellar Blade is just getting started, and the excitement around its potential Switch 2 release is just the beginning of a thrilling chapter for fans.
