As the PlayStation 5 celebrates its fifth anniversary, Sony has reported that the console has now sold 84.2 million units.
In Sony’s latest financial results for the first half of the fiscal year, the company shared that its Game & Network Services division has seen a significant increase in revenue.
It says the PS5 sold 3.9 million units during its final quarter ending September 30, 2025, which would bring the console’s total lifetime sales to 84.2 million.
Sony stated that the PS5 had sold 80.3 million units since its November 2020 launch in its last report, and with the updated numbers, the current-gen console is now trailing closely behind the PS4’s lifetime sales of 86 million.
Monthly active users for PlayStation Plus have also increased from 116 million users to 119 million users, and 80.3 million pieces of software were sold across both PS5 and PS4 in Q2 2025, up from 77.7 million reported at the same time last year.
6.3 million of these pieces of software include first-party titles across both consoles, which would count e.g. Ghost of Yoteiwhich Sony confirmed has sold 3.3 million copies in its first month.
With the Christmas season approaching, PlayStation hardware and software sales are sure to get another boost, meaning the PS5 has the potential to surpass the PS4’s lifetime sales in the next few weeks.
