The PlayStation 5 continues to be an immensely popular console, with Sony reporting nearly 4 million units sold in the second quarter of its 2025 fiscal year. Lifetime sales for the console have now surpassed 84 million units.
Sony released its Q2 2025 earnings report earlier than expected on November 10, 2025. The report provided valuable insights into the company’s performance during the second quarter. According to the data, the PlayStation 5 sold 3.9 million units in Q2, bringing total sales since launch to 84.2 million units.
For comparison, Sony sold 3.8 million PlayStation 5 consoles in Q2 of the 2024 fiscal year. This quarter’s numbers reflect an increase of approximately 100,000 units compared to Q2 FY2024. Sony experienced a similar quarter-over-quarter improvement between Q1 FY2024 and Q1 FY2025.
The report also highlighted a decrease in the number of monthly active users on the PlayStation Network, which dropped from 123 million in Q1 to 119 million in Q2. Despite this decline in active users, first-party software sales saw an increase of 1 million units compared to Q2 FY2024.
