Sony PlayStation’s first-party game sales rose to 32.1 million copies in FY2025, a modest rebound after a five-year decline from a peak of 58.4 million during 2020–21; the uptick follows the release of Ghost of Yōtei and comes amid prior output gaps and strategic cuts (Dark Outlaw Games, Bluepoint) as Sony slows PC ports to protect the PlayStation brand.
