## Key points

- PlayStation monthly users rose 2% year on year to 125 million.
- PS Plus-related services generated about $1.3 billion in quarterly sales.
- Sony expects major Christmas releases to lift engagement and spending.

## Summary

Sony reported 125 million monthly active PlayStation users at the end of June 2026, up 2% from a year earlier despite a small seasonal decline from the previous quarter. The figures matter because Sony sees player engagement as closely linked to spending, and it expects a record-breaking financial year, potentially boosted by major releases during Christmas.

Its network services division, which includes PlayStation Plus, generated ¥208.6 billion (about $1.3 billion) in quarterly sales, more than 20% higher year on year and above any quarter in the previous financial year. Sony’s active-user total was below the prior quarter’s 126 million but remains within reach of last Christmas quarter’s 133 million peak; the article suggests GTA 6 and a possible new Call of Duty could drive further growth.
