Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has officially announced that the PlayStation 5 console (PS5) has achieved the remarkable milestone of surpassing 50 million units sold to consumers. This achievement comes three years after its initial launch in November 2020. The substantial success of the PS5 can be attributed to the dedicated support of PlayStation enthusiasts worldwide. This year, the PS5 has seen substantial growth, driven by a compelling lineup of highly popular games and SIE's ongoing commitment to introducing innovation to the gaming experience, including the implementation of PS5 game streaming for PlayStation Plus Premium members.

Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, remarked, "Reaching this significant sales milestone for the PS5 is a testament to the unwavering dedication of the global PlayStation community and their enthusiasm for the extraordinary experiences crafted by the talented developers at PlayStation Studios and our collaborators. We express our gratitude to all the players who have embarked on the PS5 journey thus far, and we are delighted that this holiday season marks the first time since launch that we have a fully stocked supply of PS5 consoles—ensuring that anyone who desires one can acquire one."

As the PS5 enters its third year in the market, it is now at the pinnacle of its capabilities, with developers harnessing the full potential of the console's advanced technology. This enables them to deliver games characterized by lightning-fast loading times, stunning environments enhanced with ray tracing, and an enriched level of immersion through the innovative haptic feedback and adaptive triggers of the DualSense controller. The PS5 boasts an impressive lineup of highly acclaimed titles and beloved classics that have defined this gaming generation.

The enthusiasm among players for the PS5 has reached unprecedented levels, making this November the most successful in terms of PlayStation console sales to consumers. This surge in momentum is driven by recent hits like the critically acclaimed PS5 game "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" by Insomniac Games, along with acclaimed partner titles such as "Baldur's Gate 3" by Larian Studios and "Alan Wake 2" by Remedy Entertainment and Epic Games. Additionally, "EA SPORTS FC 24," the latest installment of the perennial sports favorite, and the PlayStation debut of "Roblox," a game appealing to players of all ages, have resonated strongly within the gaming community.

With a library of over 2,500 PS5 games and the introduction of new accessories, such as the PlayStation Portal remote player and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds, there has never been a better time to become a part of the PS5 family.
