Stellar Blade Developer Shift Up Gave All Its Workers a PS5 Professional As a Bonus Players Area

Stellar Blade developer Shift Up has gifted all of its workers with a PS5 Professional, in addition to a money sum, as a part of the studio’s end-of-year bonus program.

In line with Korean information platform Naver (by way of VGC), round 300 workers at Shift Up have acquired their very personal PS5 Professional as an end-of-year bonus, in addition to 5 million Korean received, which works out at round $3,400.

A Shift Up rep instructed Naver that the bonuses had been awarded “for the aim of encouraging expertise” (a quote for which we have used machine translation).

Provided that the PS5 Professional retails for round $700 (which works out at about 1 million received), these bonuses are to not be sniffed at.

Nonetheless, Stellar Blade managed to shift (no pun supposed) round one million copies inside its first couple of months on launch, and though Shift Up hasn’t launched newer gross sales figures than that, it appears the sport is no less than performing effectively sufficient to immediate the studio to difficulty these goodies.

Information of Shift Up’s end-of-year worker bonuses comes because the studio gears as much as launch Stellar Blade on PC, no less than if its newest monetary outcomes are something to go by.

The PC launch of Stellar Blade is outwardly deliberate for someday this 12 months, and Shift Up expects gross sales on the platform to “exceed that on consoles”. Hey, who is aware of? Possibly Shift Up workers will get new gaming PCs on the finish of this 12 months.

As for Stellar Blade itself, it is acquired various updates since launching in April this 12 months, together with a Nier: Automata crossover and several other festive outfits.

Whereas Shift Up’s consideration is likely targeted on Stellar Blade for the close to future, the studio has apparently already begun work on its subsequent sport, which can, in line with the studio itself, be a “cross-platform next-gen undertaking”.

It is more likely to be a while earlier than we hear extra about that, so whereas we wait, you may try Stellar Blade proper now on PS5. Be certain to learn our very personal Austin’s glowing overview if you need extra encouragement to select up the sport.
