Sony now puts PS5 at more than 100 million consoles shipped globally as of 10 November, just over a week before GTA 6 launches on 19 November.
The short version
Sony Interactive Entertainment lists PlayStation 5 at more than 100 million units shipped globally as of 10 November 2026, on a sell in basis that counts consoles shipped to sellers. By our arithmetic from Sony's second quarter supplement, the figure was 97.9 million at 30 September. Sony does not mention GTA 6, which launches on 19 November.
Quick answer
Has PS5 passed 100 million consoles shipped?
Yes. Sony Interactive Entertainment lists PS5 at "More than 100 million" units as of 10 November 2026, in its global hardware sell in table. That counts consoles shipped to shops and other sellers, not consoles bought by players. Sony does not mention GTA 6, which launches on 19 November.
PlayStation 5 has passed 100 million units shipped globally, just over a week before GTA 6 launches on 19 November.
What happened with PS5 shipments?
Sony Interactive Entertainment's business data page now lists PlayStation 5 at "More than 100 million (As of November 10, 2026)" in its table of cumulative global hardware sales on a sell in basis. A note on the same page says its PS5 sell in figures include returned and refurbished products. The milestone also appears in the Fast Facts on SIE's Our Company page. As of 11 November, we found no PlayStation Blog post or Sony press release about it.
The last quarterly figure comes from Sony's second quarter supplement, dated 5 November. It gives 93.7 million PS5 consoles shipped by 31 March 2026, then 1.6 million in April to June and 2.6 million in July to September. By our arithmetic, 93.7 million plus 1.6 million plus 2.6 million makes 97.9 million at 30 September. That means more than 2.1 million have shipped since, though Sony's new figure is a floor, not an exact count.
PS5 is the fourth PlayStation platform past 100 million on that Sony table, after the original PlayStation at more than 102.4 million, PS2 at more than 160 million and PS4 at more than 117 million.
Why does it matter for GTA 6?
GTA 6 launches on 19 November on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S. Sony's pages do not mention it, and a shipment figure says nothing about how many people will buy the game.
Sony and Microsoft have each said GTA 6 is the most preordered game on their own store, as our preorder records story explains, though neither gave a number.
Is 100 million shipped the same as 100 million bought?
No. Sell in counts consoles shipped to shops and other sellers. It is a different measure from the Circana US retail figures in our September PS5 sales story, so the two should not be compared directly. For every launch time, see our GTA 6 release date guide.
