PlayStation 5 shipments have officially surpassed 100 million units worldwide, Sony Interactive Entertainment has confirmed. The milestone was disclosed through an update to Sony’s official Business Data & Sales website, which lists cumulative PS5 shipments at more than 100 million as of November 10, 2026.
The announcement comes shortly after Sony’s latest quarterly financial results established that PS5 shipments had reached 97.9 million units as of September 30, 2026. The updated figure represents an increase of at least approximately 2.1 million units over the following 40 days.
Sony categorizes these figures as “sell-in,” meaning consoles shipped into distribution channels rather than units purchased directly by consumers. The milestone therefore reflects worldwide hardware shipments and should not be confused with confirmed consumer sell-through.
The PlayStation 5 originally launched in November 2020, meaning the console has crossed the 100 million shipment threshold approximately six years after its debut.
Sony’s historical hardware figures place the PS5 among its most widely distributed gaming consoles. The original PlayStation reached more than 102.4 million units, while the PlayStation 4 exceeded 117 million. The PlayStation 2 remains Sony’s highest-selling console, with more than 160 million units recorded on the company’s official business data page.
Although the PS5 has now passed 100 million shipments, it has not yet overtaken the lifetime figures of the original PlayStation or PS4.
Sony’s latest financial data also provides additional context for the console’s performance. The company shipped 2.6 million PS5 units during the July–September 2026 quarter, compared with 4 million during the same period a year earlier. This followed 1.6 million shipments during April–June 2026.
Despite the year-over-year decline in quarterly hardware shipments, the PS5 has continued accumulating sales across its existing hardware lineup, including the standard PS5, PS5 Digital Edition, and PS5 Pro.
Beyond console hardware, Sony reported 127 million monthly active PlayStation users as of September 30, 2026. Combined PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 software shipments had also surpassed 1.795 billion units by that date.
The 100 million milestone marks another major point in the PS5’s commercial lifespan, although Sony has not disclosed an exact shipment total beyond confirming that the worldwide figure now exceeds that threshold.
