Sony Interactive Entertainment says PlayStation 5 sell-in has passed 100 million units worldwide as of November 10, 2026.
The company published the total as sell-in. The figure on its company page is more than 100 million units sold-in, dated November 10, 2026.
Monthly active users are dated September 30. The same page says PlayStation had 127 million monthly active users as of September 30, 2026. That user count is not the November 10 hardware total.
Combined software sales are also dated September 30. Software sales across PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 stood at more than 1.795 billion units as of September 30, 2026. The page combines both generations in that total.
Sony calls this generation the most profitable. It says PlayStation 5 is the most profitable generation to date, with more than $136 billion in sales and $13 billion in operating income.
The gameplay-hours figure is older. The page says PlayStation logged more than 51 billion hours of annual gameplay as of March 31, 2025. The hardware milestone it lists for November 10 is the sell-in total of more than 100 million units.
