PS5 is the fastest-selling console in the company\u2019s history and continues to outpace sales of its predecessor, PlayStation\u00ae4 (PS4\u2122).<\/p>\n

SIE also achieved additional milestones across its portfolio of PlayStation Studios games, including:<\/div>\n
    \n
  • Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man: Miles Morales <\/i>from Insomniac Games has sold more than 6.5 million copies* since releasing on November 12, 2020<\/li>\n
  • MLB\u00ae The Show\u2122 21<\/i> from San Diego Studio is the fastest-selling title in franchise history with more than 2 million copies* sold across all platforms. The game has reached more than 4 million players since releasing on April 16, 2021<\/li>\n

    \u201cI can\u2019t express enough the deep gratitude we feel for our passionate community of PlayStation fans who have embraced PS5, and the world-class development and publishing partners who bring such incredible gaming experiences to our platforms,\u201d said Jim Ryan, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment. \u201cWhile PS5 has reached more households faster than any of our previous consoles, we still have a lot of work ahead of us as demand for PS5 continues to outstrip supply. I want gamers to know that while we continue to face unique challenges throughout the world that affect our industry and many others, improving inventory levels remains a top priority for SIE.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Looking ahead, the lineup of exclusive games coming from PlayStation Studios includes a new God of War<\/i> from Santa Monica Studios, Gran Turismo\u2122 7<\/i> from Polyphony Digital, and Horizon Forbidden West<\/i> from Guerrilla Games.
