Sony has confirmed that it has secured the necessary memory supply to meet its hardware sales targets through the remainder of the 2026 fiscal year. This assurance arrives as the company prepares for the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, which is set for release on November 19, 2026, across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X.
Quick Facts
- Game: Grand Theft Auto VI
- Release Date: November 19, 2026
- Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X
- Supply Status: Sony has secured sufficient RAM to meet projected PS5 sales volume for FY26.
The company's latest earnings report addresses concerns regarding the impact of memory market conditions on console availability. While an "AI-fueled supply crunch" has driven up hardware costs across the industry, Sony maintains that its plan for hardware profitability for FY26 remains consistent with the previous year. The company sold 1.38 million PS5 units last quarter, bringing total lifetime sales to 95.3 million consoles.
Despite the positive supply outlook, Sony has not clarified whether this will prevent potential price adjustments for the PS5 console in the second half of the year. The company previously increased the price of the base PS5 model by $100 in March.
