The iconic PlayStation banner flutters once again, this time celebrating a truly momentous occasion: the PlayStation 5 has officially surpassed a staggering 50 million units sold worldwide! Since its 2020 launch, the sleek console has navigated global chip shortages, stockpiling hype, and delivering stellar exclusives to carve its place as a gaming powerhouse.
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 favorite, and the PlayStation debut of Roblox, which appeals to gamers of all ages, have also been hugely popular with the community.
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
Jim Ryan, the president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment
