Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced that the PlayStation 5 has achieved a remarkable milestone of selling over 50 million units to consumers. This achievement comes just three years after its launch in November 2020.
“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. “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.”
With more than 2,500 PS5 games, plus new accessories to enhance the gaming experience such as PlayStation Portal remote player and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds, now is the perfect time to join the PS5 family.
The PlayStation 5 was released on November 12, 2020 in several countries including the United States, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea. It was then launched on November 19, 2020 in the rest of the world, including Europe, Middle East, South America, Asia, and South Africa.
