PS5 sales have surpassed 80 million units

Sony has sold 80.3 million PS5 consoles worldwide.

The Japanese tech giant revealed the sales figure during its latest quarterly results release. This data accounts for sales as of June 30, 2025, and comes shortly before the PS5’s fifth anniversary in November.

For context, Sony had sold approximately 86.1 million PS4 units within its first five years on the market, meaning the PS5 will have a comfortable five months to clear that gap. A big boon in that regard will no doubt be Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Yōtei, the highly-anticipated standalone sequel to 2020’s Ghost of Tsushima. Yōtei launches exclusively on PS5 on October 2.

Beyond all of that, the PS5’s 80-million milestone is also pretty notable considering the comparatively slower pace of the major buzzworthy first-party game releases that PlayStation has become known for. So far this year, the PS5’s big exclusive game has been Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. All the while, PlayStation’s ambitious multi-game live service plans have largely been a failure so far with the likes of Concord launching and shortly shutting down and several other titles being cancelled during development.

At the same time, it remains to be seen how economic headwinds may affect the PS5’s growth. So far, Sony has raised the price of the console in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, so it’s possible that other markets could also get a hike. It’s also unclear what other games PlayStation has on the horizon in the months following Yōtei, with some of the few already announced titles, like Insomniac’s Marvel’s Wolverine and Naughty Dog’s Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet not having release windows.
