Stellar Blade Release on Switch 2 or Xbox Possible?

When Stellar Blade was announced, any discussion of the game was immediately reduced to chatter about Eve’s derrière and her alarmingly vacuum-sealed wardrobe. When it finally premiered on PlayStation 5 in 2024, it turned out that Shift Up had put a lot of hard work into the gameplay, and received consistently high ratings and sold very well, with an extra boost when it released on PC in 2025.

Now it seems Shift Up is looking to expand its audience and release Stellar Blade to more formats, with the Xbox Series S/X perhaps the most likely candidate, but perhaps also the Switch 2. In quarterly report the company’s latest, we can read:

“…we are reviewing platform expansion beyond PS5 and PC to expand audience reach. This approach is expected to introduce the title to new players and gradually build anticipation for the next chapter in the series.

We predict 2026 will be the year that more users experience existing titles while momentum and anticipation build towards the next phase of the Stellar Blade franchise.”

We already know that the Stellar Blade sequel will be released as a multi-format title, and based on this, it seems like the developers want future fans to have a chance to enjoy the first part before they tackle the second part.

How do you interpret this announcement, and would you buy Stellar Blade if it came to Switch 2 and/or Xbox Series S/X?
