    PlayStation 5 Surpasses 50 Million Units Sold Worldwide

    A full supply is ready for consumers around the world.

    Sony Interactive Entertainment announced the PlayStation 5 has surpassed a total of 50 million units sold worldwide. The announcement comes during the first holiday season where a full supply of PS5 consoles are available to consumers. 

    PS5 sales reached a total of 40 million units sold in July 2023, just a few years removed from logistical challenges during the console’s launch and the COVID-19 pandemic. With a stellar year of gaming to come in 2024, the PS5 is set to move tens of millions of units as fans anticipate titles such as Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Marvel’s Wolverine.

    PlayStation 5 50 Million Sales Update

    Outgoing SIE president Jim Ryan notes that “anyone” who wants to purchase a PlayStation 5 console may do so, now that the company has a full supply. Ryan also says that the PlayStation 5 console’s 50 million sales milestone is a sign of the PlayStation community’s support for gaming. 

    “Achieving this PS5 sales milestone is a testament to the unwavering support of the global PlayStation community and their passion for the incredible experiences created by the talented developers from PlayStation Studios and our partners,” said Jim Ryan, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, in a press release. “We’re grateful for all of our players who have joined the PS5 journey so far, and we’re thrilled that this is the first holiday season since launch that we have a full supply of PS5 consoles – so anyone who wants to get one can get one.”

    “Player excitement for PS5 is higher than ever making this the biggest November for PlayStation consoles sold through to consumers,” Sony Interactive Entertainment said in the press release. “This momentum has been driven by recent hits such as the critically acclaimed PS5 game Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games, as well as celebrated partner titles including Baldur’s Gate 3 from Larian Studios, and Alan Wake 2 from Remedy Entertainment and Epic Games. EA SPORTS FC 24, the newest entry from the perennial sports favorite, and the PlayStation debut of Roblox, which appeals to gamers of all ages, have also been hugely popular with the community.”
