Sony has shipped 100 million PlayStation 5 consoles worldwide as of November 10, 2026 — nearly six years after launch. The figure comes from Sony’s official business data page and reflects units shipped to retailers, not necessarily sold through to consumers. It follows a reported 97.9 million units shipped as of September 30, meaning roughly 2.1 million more consoles entered distribution channels in just over six weeks.

That pace is slower than the 2.6 million shipped during the July–September quarter, itself down from 4 million a year earlier. The PS5 joins the PS4 (117.2 million), PS2 (160 million), and original PlayStation (102.4 million) in crossing the 100-million threshold. The PS3 remains at 87.4 million. It took the PS5 about six years to reach this milestone, longer than the PS4, which hit 100 million in five years and seven months.

No breakdown is given for how many are standard PS5s, PS5 Slims, or PS5 Pros. GTA 6 launches November 19, one week after Sony’s announcement, with preloads already live. Rockstar’s release could lift holiday-season hardware demand, though Sony hasn’t confirmed any new bundles or promotions tied to it. The PS5 Pro remains unannounced.

Notebookcheck notes that no official split between models exists, and no pricing or availability details for a PS5 Pro appear in the reporting. Sony’s next major first-party title, Intergalactic: The Last Prophet, is cited as a possible near-term sales catalyst, but no release date is provided in the source material.

Shipments will almost certainly decline from here. Notebookcheck attributes the slowdown to three factors: a thinning pipeline of exclusive software, rising console prices, and Sony’s ongoing shift away from physical media support. The 100-million milestone stands, but it marks a plateau, not an acceleration.
