Stellar Blade developers promise "good news" regarding Sony's regional restrictions on PC
The developers from Shift Up have stated that they plan to share "good news" with players soon regarding the situation with the sale of Stellar Blade on PC in almost 130 countries where the game is not yet available.
Here's What We Know
Sony, the game's publisher, is not selling its PC versions in regions where the PlayStation Network is not officially supported, although an account is not required to run Stellar Blade on PC.
Stellar Blade, an action game by Korean studio Shift Up, was released on PlayStation 5 and received high praise for its gameplay and visual style. However, there have been problems with the launch of the PC version, with the game not available for purchase in nearly 130 countries. The main reason for this is Sony's policy of not selling its PC games in regions without official PSN support.
Unlike some of Sony's other projects, Stellar Blade doesn't require a PlayStation Network account to run on PC, making the regional restrictions even stranger for players.
The developers of Shift Up have stated that they are working on a solution to this situation and will share some positive news with fans soon. It's still unclear if this is a concrete solution, or if the studio is just hoping to find a way out of the situation.
Still, hopefully the developers will be able to come to an agreement with Sony and a lot more people will buy the game. Although the game is already storming the Steam charts.
