PS5 shipments pass 100 million units

Sony says the PlayStation 5 has shipped over 100 million units worldwide as of November 10, 2026. The console reached the milestone nearly six years after its November 2020 launch. The PlayStation 4 achieved the same mark five months faster, despite the current generation facing higher retail prices and launch constraints from pandemic-era component shortages.

The total means Sony shipped at least 2.1 million units since September 30, when the console stood at 97.9 million. Only seven other consoles have cleared 100 million shipments, including the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 2, and Nintendo Switch. Sony now offers the updated PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro alongside the base hardware. Analysts expect the current generation to have an extended lifecycle while Sony weighs a release window for future hardware. Additionally, Sony says the PS Plus app for PC will shut down in December 2026.
