Sony PS5 Global Shipments Top 100 Million Units Six Years After Launch
Figures released by Sony on November 12 show that global sales of the PlayStation 5 have passed 100 million units. The console launched in November 2020 and reached the milestone in about six years.
The PS5 was supply-constrained for much of its early life before sales accumulated steadily; its predecessor, the PS4, sold about 117 million units over its lifetime. Sony has trimmed its hardware sales outlook for the current fiscal year as console demand slows with age, but the large installed base continues to support its game software and network services revenue.
The industry widely expects Grand Theft Auto 6, set for release on November 19, 2026, to be the biggest software event of the PS5 generation and a driver of console upgrades and new purchases. Sony did not issue a separate statement on the 100 million milestone; the figure came with its latest earnings disclosures.
