PS5 shipments top 93.7 million

PlayStation 5 has shipped 93.7 million units worldwide, Sony announced in its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

A total of 1.5 million PlayStation 5 units were shipped during the three months ended March 31, 2026, which is down 0.9 million from the same period the previous fiscal year.

Here are a couple of additional statistics:

• There are 125 million monthly active users on PlayStation Network as of March 31, 2026, which is up one million from the same period the previous fiscal year.
• PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 software combined sold 74.6 million units during the three months ended March 31, 2026, which is down 1.5 million from  the same period the previous fiscal year. 5.8 million units were first-party titles, which is down 0.1 million from the same period the previous fiscal year. 85 percent of software sales were full game software digital downloads, which is up five percent from the same period the previous fiscal year.
• Sony’s notes on its forecast for fiscal year 2026 (April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027):
  • Compared to the fiscal year 25 operating income results excluding one-time items, the fiscal year 2026 operating income forecast is essentially flat year-on-year, which is due to the incorporation of an increase in investments for the next-generation platform. Excluding these factors, profit generated by our current business is expected to grow steadily at a double-digit rate.
  • We plan to base our PlayStation 5 hardware sales in fiscal year 2026 on the volume of memory we can procure at reasonable prices and we expect hardware profitability to be essentially the same as fiscal year 2025.
