Sony has announced that the PlayStation 5 has officially surpassed the 100 million unit sales milestone since its launch six years ago. As of November 10, 2026, the PS5 is now just 17 million units away from outpacing the PlayStation 4 and coming in just behind the original PlayStation, which sold 102.4 million units. The console has sold an additional 2.1 million units since the previous financial quarter ended in September 2026.
Despite facing shortages and price hikes due to the memory crisis during its initial release phase, the PS5 has seen a surge in sales driven by the upcoming release of GTA VI, which is set to launch exclusively on November 19. This game has prompted many consumers to purchase a PS5, further propelling its sales. The cumulative worldwide software unit sales for the PS5 and PS4 combined have now reached 1.795 billion units, encompassing all physical and digital titles, PlayStation VR games, and software bundled with consoles.
Sony has yet to disclose the timeline for the release of the PlayStation 6, with analyst predictions ranging from a potential 2027 launch to further delays due to ongoing industry challenges.
