PlayStation 5 Surpasses 10 Million Units Sold, Remains the Fastest Selling Console in Sony Interactive Entertainment History


Sony Interactive Entertainment announced today that its newest generation game console, PlayStation®5 (PS5tm), has sold through more than 10 million units* globally since first launching on November 12, 2020. PS5 is the fastest-selling console in the company's history and continues to outpace sales of its predecessor, PlayStation®4 (PS4tm).

SIE also achieved additional milestones across its portfolio of PlayStation Studios games, including:

"I can't express enough the deep gratitude we feel for our passionate community of PlayStation fans who have embraced PS5, and the world-class development and publishing partners who bring such incredible gaming experiences to our platforms," said Jim Ryan, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment. "While PS5 has reached more households faster than any of our previous consoles, we still have a lot of work ahead of us as demand for PS5 continues to outstrip supply. I want gamers to know that while we continue to face unique challenges throughout the world that affect our industry and many others, improving inventory levels remains a top priority for SIE."

Looking ahead, the lineup of exclusive games coming from PlayStation Studios includes a new God of War from Santa Monica Studios, Gran Turismotm 7 from Polyphony Digital, and Horizon Forbidden West from Guerrilla Games. Some of the highly anticipated games from SIE's partners include Battlefield 2042 from Electronic Arts, DEATHLOOP from Bethesda, Far Cry®6 from Ubisoft, and Kena: Bridge of Spirits from Ember Lab.
