Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced that the PlayStation 5 AKA the PS5 has surpassed 50 million units sold. It’s now been three years since the launch of the PS5 in November 2020.

Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, said:

“Achieving this PS5 sales milestone is a testament to the unwavering support of the global PlayStation community and their passion for the incredible experiences created by the talented developers from PlayStation Studios and our partners. We’re grateful for all of our players who have joined the PS5 journey so far, and we’re thrilled that this is the first holiday season since launch that we have a full supply of PS5 consoles – so anyone who wants to get one can get one.”

Three years into its lifecycle, PS5 is hitting its stride as developers are taking full advantage of the console’s advanced technology that enables them to deliver games with lightning-fast loading, gorgeous environments enhanced with ray tracing, and deepened immersion with the DualSense controller’s innovative haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. The PS5 games lineup is stacked with highly acclaimed hits and fan favourites that have defined the generation.

Player excitement for PS5 is higher than ever making this the biggest November for PlayStation consoles sold through to consumers. This momentum has been driven by recent hits such as the critically acclaimed PS5 game Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games, as well as celebrated partner titles including Baldur’s Gate 3 from Larian Studios, and Alan Wake 2 from Remedy Entertainment and Epic Games. EA SPORTS FC 24, the newest entry from the perennial sports favourite, and the PlayStation debut of Roblox, which appeals to gamers of all ages, have also been hugely popular with the community.
