These are Sony’s latest disclosed lifetime hardware figures for each platform, so the reporting dates differ by console.

PS5 annual hardware sell-in

Max = 20.9M. Widths: FY2020 37.32%, FY2021 55.02%, FY2022 91.39%, FY2023 100.00%, FY2024 88.52%, FY2025 Q1-Q3 68.90%

The FY2025 figure covers only the first three quarters through December 2025, not the full fiscal year.

PlayStation monthly active users

Max = 132M. Widths: Dec 2022 84.85%, Dec 2023 93.18%, Dec 2024 97.73%, Dec 2025 100.00%

Sony defines monthly active users as unique accounts that played games or used services on PlayStation Network during the last month of the quarter.

PlayStation FY2024 revenue mix

Max = 29%. Widths: Add-on content 100.00%, Hardware 82.76%, Digital software 68.97%, Network services 48.28%, Other 34.48%, Physical software 10.34%

The mix shows how much of PlayStation’s business now comes from digital content, services, and recurring spending instead of boxed software alone.

What these PlayStation statistics show

PlayStation is now operating at a very large scale. Sony’s latest official figures show a platform with more than 92 million PS5 units sold-in, 132 million monthly active users, more than 1.566 billion PS4 and PS5 software units sold, and more than 51 billion annual gameplay hours. That combination points to a business that is no longer driven only by console launches, but by long-term engagement and spending across hardware, software, add-on content, and services.

The revenue mix also helps explain why Sony keeps emphasizing platform growth. In FY2024, add-on content, digital software, and network services together represented 63% of Game & Network Services sales, while hardware accounted for 24%. That suggests PlayStation’s long-term economics are increasingly tied to the installed base and recurring activity rather than one-time console purchases alone.
