PlayStation 5 has reached 84.2 million units sold worldwide, according to Sony’s latest financial report, with 3.9 million consoles sold in the past three months. The figure covers lifetime sales since the PS5 launched in 2020, alongside other platform metrics that matter to developers and players alike.
PlayStation 5 sales – Numbers from Sony financial report
- 84.2 million PlayStation 5 consoles sold worldwide.
- 3.9 million units sold in the last three months.
- Digital sales accounted for around 72 percent of purchases in Q2 of 2025.
- 119 million monthly users on PlayStation Online.
- Ghost of Yotei has sold 3.3 million copies since launch in October.
The PS5’s 84.2 million total sits roughly on par with the Xbox 360’s lifetime sales and well ahead of the Xbox One’s lifetime figure. Those comparisons matter because they show the current generation’s sales momentum, even with a $500 retail price for the base console. For a recent platform comparison, see our look at Nintendo Switch 2 sales, which highlights differing launch trajectories between current-generation consoles.
Three things jump out from the report. First, the PS5 is still selling in meaningful volumes despite older rivals and an ongoing higher price point. Second, the shift to digital purchases is pronounced and will affect how studios price and plan releases on PlayStation. Third, the platform’s active user base remains large, which keeps PS5 attractive for first-party releases and third-party support.
Sony did not make clear whether PS5 Pro units are included in the total or how many Pro consoles have sold if they are counted. That omission leaves room for follow-up reporting when company statements or later financial updates add precision. Upcoming PlayStation titles tied to future sales cycles include Saros, Marvel’s Wolverine, and Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet. Those releases will test whether the PS5 can keep adding buyers at a similar clip while digital still makes up the bulk of purchases. Publishers will also be watching to see if the digital share changes again as newer releases arrive.
