The latest official data shows that in more than two years since the PS5 was released, its global shipments have reached 32.1 million units. And now it seems that this console has not only attracted many PS4 users to upgrade, but also attracted a large number of new users.
Sony revealed in its most recent quarterly earnings report that nearly 30% of PS5 active users do not have a PS4. Sony said that with the popularity of the PS5, new users are also increasing. The number of monthly active users in December also increased by 30%. Sony also said that users who upgrade from PS4 to PS5 have a PS5 stickiness indicator "much higher." This includes the user's PS Plus membership subscription rate, playtime and average spending amount.
Although Sony has been actively supporting PS4 since the release of PS5, its first-party masterpieces include "God of War 5", "Horizon 2: Forbidden West", and "GT Racing 7" in addition to landing on PS5, but also landing on PS4. But it seems that Sony is also shifting its focus to the PS5 platform, such as "Marvel Spider-Man 2" will exclusively land on the PS5 platform this fall, and Sony has previously said that Sony will support PS4 until 2025 at most.
