PlayStation First-Party Game Sales Have Declined Over the Past 5 Years, Although Ghost of Yotei Helped Reverse the Trend

▤ Summary

Sony’s first-party PlayStation game sales have fallen over the past five years, with 2025’s Ghost of Yotei providing a small rebound. The article links the decline to a thinner release cadence, canceled projects, and several studios that have gone years without a new game. It also notes that some major titles still performed well, including Helldivers 2, Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarök, and Gran Turismo 7. Sony appears to be under pressure to rebuild momentum ahead of major upcoming releases like Wolverine and Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
