Today, Sony officially announced that PS5 hardware sales have surpassed 100 million units worldwide, marking another major milestone for the current-generation console.
According to the company’s latest sales figures, the PS5 had sold more than 100 million units as of November 10, 2026, placing it among the best-selling consoles in PlayStation history. The milestone comes as the PlayStation 5 enters its sixth year on the market, following its November 2020 launch.
Sony’s latest figures also show that the console has sold 16 million units during FY2025, which runs from April 2025 through March 2026. This represents a decline from the 18.5 million units sold during FY2024 and the 20.8 million recorded in FY2023.
In the first half of FY2026, PS5 hardware sales reached 4.2 million units: 1.6 million were sold between April and June, and another 2.6 million between July and September. Sony has yet to report its third- and fourth-quarter figures for the current fiscal year.
The PS5’s sales milestone places it alongside several of Sony’s most successful consoles. The PlayStation 4 has sold more than 117 million units, while the original PlayStation surpassed 102.4 million. The PlayStation 2 remains the company’s best-selling console, with more than 160 million units sold worldwide. Meanwhile, the PlayStation 3 reached 87.4 million units, and the PlayStation Portable sold more than 76.4 million.
Sony also reported continued growth across its PlayStation software business, with combined PS4 and PS5 software sales surpassing 1.795 billion units as of September 30, 2026. In the first half of FY2026, software sales reached 154.3 million units, with 66.1 million in the first quarter and 88.2 million in the second quarter. This puts the current fiscal year ahead of the same period in FY2025, when combined software sales reached 146.2 million units.
The PlayStation Network also continues to maintain a substantial audience, with Sony reporting 127 million monthly active users as of September 30, 2026. The figure highlights the PlayStation ecosystem’s continued reach as Sony moves further into the current console generation.
With more than 100 million consoles sold, the PS5 has become another major commercial success for Sony, even as hardware sales have gradually declined from their peak.
