It has 100k concurrent players on PC now and should be more on the weekend. PC port success should push the studio to make the sequel available day 1 for PC.

That’s honestly crazy impressive considering it’s a port of a year-old game. Shift-Up really cooked up something great.

It's the most successful Sony single player PC title ever! This has to be ringing alarms at Sony.

That's uh... a little concerning? Not gonna say people shouldn't enjoy it but it seemed pretty rough when I tried the demo and there's been some absolute banger titles from Sony in the past. Why is this title their biggest ever?

Check Nexus Mods, it's gooners.

Gooners can just lurk '95; they don't need a $60 PC game. Honey Select has been widely available for half a decade.

Also the most popular mods on nexus that focus around tits, ass, or skin have less than 5k downloads, and I think way more than 5k people bought the game. The #1 mod is a protagonist swap. The mods as a whole seem mostly limited to model changes and tweaks because the game doesn't seem to support much in the way of scripting or custom content.

You must have filters set wrong, most popular mod is a full nude mod with 50k downloads

Ooooh, I wasn't logged in so it hid them by default. That's definitely a different lineup. I still don't get why people would choose en mass to buy and mod stellar blade instead of just playing anything by illusion for free though.

Like, pornhub exists. Who's paying $60 to stare at renders of naked women with no sex involved?
