PS5 shipments top 41.7 million

PlayStation 5 has shipped 41.7 million units worldwide, Sony announced in its financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

A total of 3.3 million PlayStation 5 units were shipped during the three months ended June 30, 2023, which is up 0.9 million from the same period the previous fiscal year.

Here are a couple of additional statistics:

• There are 108 million monthly active users on PlayStation Network as of June 30, 2023, which is up five million from the 103 million active users during the same period the previous fiscal year.
• PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 software combined sold 56.5 million units during the three months ended June 30, 2023, which is up 9.3 million from the 47.2 million software sold during the same period the previous fiscal year. 6.6 million units were first-party titles, which is the same amount sold during the same period the previous fiscal year. 72 percent of software sales were full game software digital downloads, which is down seven percent from the same period the previous fiscal year.

It should be noted that while Sony previously disclosed the number of PlayStation Plus subscribers as of the end of each quarter, today’s financial results announcement does not.
