Stellar Blade EXPLODES on PC! What Went So Right?

Stellar Blade has released on PC and within 24 hours, it has shattered all the records for PlayStation exclusive games going multiplatform. Shift Up has crafted a game that captivated the zeitgeist two years in a row and through gritted teeth, games journalist like Forbes' Paul Tassi has to admit it's a massive success.

According to former PlayStation Boss, Shuhei Yoshida, it's all about the gameplay that has made the Soulslike a hit. But the obvious reason isn't the obvious answer. There are several moving parts to this overnight sensation and it intentionally and accidentally got several things right.
