Despite Boycott Threats, More People Are Playing PS5 Than Ever

Sony said monthly active PlayStation users rose to 125 million at the end of June, up from 123 million a year earlier.

Digital sales kept climbing, making up 78% of PS4 and PS5 game sales in fiscal 2025 and 82% in the latest quarter.

Despite backlash over plans to stop making physical games for new titles starting in 2028, Sony raised its PlayStation operating income forecast to $4.1 billion.

The figures suggest boycott threats have not yet dented engagement or sales enough to force a change in strategy.
