We’ll find out in the coming hours whether it can surpass 200,000 players, considering that gamers in China are just wrapping up work for the day.

Original Story: Stellar Blade has released on PC, and it’s instantly set a new record for Sony.
At its debut on Steam, this highly acclaimed game simultaneously boasted 99,980 active players, making it the first Sony-published, standalone title to surpass such a number in concurrent players.
Indeed, it’s essential to note that the game is designed for single-player use, given the massive response Helldivers 2 received last year. At its peak during launch, it attracted a staggering 458,709 players all at once.
Indeed, it’s impressive that Stellar Blade has surpassed the peak player counts of Ghost of Tsushima (77,154), God of War 2018 (73,529), Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered (66,436), Horizon Zero Dawn (56,557), Horizon Forbidden West (40,462), The Last of Us Part 1 (36,496), and God of War Ragnarok (35,615). Considering the widespread acclaim these titles enjoy, this is quite an achievement.
Recently, Sony’s efforts to expand into the PC market have faced some questioning. Initially, there was a lot of excitement about the PlayStation games that were being ported to PC (generally speaking). However, the level of interest seems to have decreased over time, as suggested by the data presented above.
The follow-ups to games such as Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok didn’t surpass their original versions, and unfortunately, some of the releases on various platforms have encountered significant technical problems.
Stellar Blade seems to be defying the common pattern, however, it’s important to note that this game wasn’t developed by PlayStation as their own creation. Instead, Sony is merely the publisher of the game.
