PlayStation first-party game sales have declined significantly since 2020, with a sharp drop from 58.4 million in FY2020 to 28.9 million in FY2024. This decline has been steady, with sales figures decreasing each year until a slight increase to 32.1 million in FY2025. Major releases like The Last of Us Part II and Ghost of Tsushima contributed to earlier high sales. Recent performance, including the underperformance of Astro Bot and the shutdown of Concord, has led Sony to reassess its strategy, with hopes for future titles like Ghost of Yōtei to drive a rebound.
