PlayStation 5 sales pass 100 million units, Sony data shows

The 100 million mark

Sony's PlayStation 5 has passed 100 million consoles sold, according to sales data the company published on its official site. Eurogamer.pl reported the figure on 11 November 2026.

That puts the current console within reach of the original PlayStation, which still sits ahead of it in the family's all-time ranking. Eurogamer.pl writes that the PS5 could overtake it before the end of this year.

A strong final quarter

The sales pattern in the figures favours the last three months of the calendar year. Between October and December 2025, the PS5 found 7.9 million buyers.

The quarters since were smaller: 1.5 million units in the first quarter of 2026, 1.6 million in the second and 2.6 million between July and September.

Eurogamer.pl notes that the holiday quarter has consistently been the strongest for console sales, which leaves room for another large figure before the year closes.

GTA 6 in the same window

One factor the site raises is the release of GTA 6, which it says arrives on 19 November and will also be available on Xbox Series X/S. Eurogamer.pl frames a possible hardware boost from the game as a possibility, not a forecast.

The same report says the Rockstar title can already be downloaded and that the studio has shared details of how the game runs, with 30 frames per second mentioned.

Whether the PS5 actually passes the original PlayStation this year depends on the final quarter, which has not been reported yet.
