Stellar Blade was such a hit that its dev gave all employees a PS5 Pro and a roughly $3,400 bonus, and this horny action RPG isn't even on PC yet

Stellar Blade.

Stellar Blade was wildly successful in 2024, having sold one million copies in just its first two months on the market, so developer Shift Up had no choice but to reward all of its employees with an approximately $3,400 bonus and the coveted PS5 Pro. 

Shift Up doled out the presents at a January 6 event in Seoul, as Korean website Naver reported. A company representative told the site - according to a DeepL translation - that "the payment of plusses and bonuses is a way to encourage talent," and, indeed, you can witness the majesty of this exchange yourself in a video Shift Up posted to Twitter.
