Stellar Blade becomes second-best-selling game on PlayStation Store after launch

According to PlayStation, Stellar Blade was the second-best-selling game on the platform in April 2024. The company has also revealed the other top-performing titles for April 2024 in the United States. While fans were already expecting Stellar Blade to do well, its impressive sales numbers might have taken them by surprise.

Some reports had previously stated that the game would manage to sell close to 1 million copies in under 24 hours at launch. This, however, is yet to be officially confirmed by Sony.

The PlayStation blog revealed that Helldivers 2 was the best-selling title on the PS Store among PS5 games in April. On the second spot is Stellar Blade, which was released on April 26, 2024.

What's interesting to note is that Shift Up's game succeeded in entering the top two despite arriving just five days before May began. This means the action-adventure title must have sold a large number of copies on PS5.

Its demo was introduced on March 29 and lasted for a month before the official launch. The limited build was also a massive hit, paving the way for an astonishing debut for the console exclusive in terms of sales.
