PlayStation 5 Shipments Pass 100 Million Units as of November 10, 2026

Sony Interactive Entertainment’s own figures now put the PlayStation 5 past 100 million consoles shipped worldwide, and the number is dated November 10, 2026 on the sales page where Sony tracks every console in the PlayStation line.

Sell-in is Sony’s term for consoles shipped to retailers rather than consoles bought by players, so fewer than 100 million PS5s are actually sitting in homes. The same page tracks the rest of the hardware line:

The milestone landed in a soft stretch for the hardware business. Sony shipped 1.6 million PS5s between April and June and 2.6 million between July and September, and fiscal 2025 closed at 16.0 million consoles for the year, down from 20.8 million in fiscal 2023. The PS4 line’s last update on that page is still dated June 30, 2022.

On the software side, the numbers are much bigger. PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 software sales passed 1.795 billion units as of September 30, 2026, counting physical and download-only titles, PS VR games and software bundled with the consoles, and Sony reports 127 million monthly active users, its own estimate.

Set the milestone against the rest of Sony’s own list: the PlayStation 4 reached more than 117 million shipped units, the original PlayStation stopped at more than 102.4 million after it launched PlayStation in Japan in 1994, and the PlayStation 3 at more than 87.4 million. For players, the practical payoff of a 100-million console base is the software and the discounts, such as the PS5 deals in our PlayStation Black Friday guide, while our PS Plus tiers guide explains what Extra and Premium add. Sony is still adding hardware, as our PlayStation Portal Player story shows.

Sony does not split the 100 million by region, and the page does not say when the figures are updated next.
