The PlayStation 5 has sold over 95 million units worldwide, but hardware and software sales are beginning to slow with the platform around six years into its lifecycle. As noted in Sony's fiscal report for the first-quarter ended June 30, 2026, sales within the company's Games & Network Services (G&NS) segment were essentially flat year-over-year due to a decrease in sales of console hardware and third-party software. Sony expects to receive approximately 80 billion yen ($510 million) in tariff refunds during the current fiscal year (FY26). As for how people who already own PlayStation hardware are engaging with the platform, Sony said the number of monthly active users on PlayStation reached 125 million accounts in June 2026—an increase of 2 percent year-on-year.
