Sony said PlayStation 5 sales had exceeded 100 million units as of November 10, 2026, nearly six years after the console debuted. The total includes another 2.1 million consoles sold since the September 30 close of its previous financial quarter.

The PS5 remains below the original PlayStation's 102.4 million sales, while surpassing the PS3's 87.4 million and the PSP's 76.4 million. Sony's PlayStation 2 remains the best-selling console, with sales above 160 million units.

The milestone comes before GTA VI arrives on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, with no PC version available at launch. The PS5 launched in November 2020 amid pandemic-era supply shortages. In January 2023, Sony said those shortages were effectively over and retail availability would improve globally.

Sony also put cumulative software sales across PS5 and PS4 at more than 1.795 billion units. That figure covers physical copies, download-only games, PS VR titles and software included with consoles. The company reported 127 million monthly active users on PlayStation.
