Sony reported 47.0 million subscribers as of March 31, 2026, with 125 million PlayStation Network monthly active users in the same quarter. Below are the key PlayStation Plus statistics for Sony’s FY2025.

PlayStation Plus key stats

PlayStation Plus had 47.0 million subscribers as of March 31, 2026.

  • The count reflects worldwide subscribers across Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers at fiscal year-end (FY2025).
  • Subscriber volume has been broadly flat since the 2022 tier overhaul, while Sony reports rising PS Plus profitability from tier mix and pricing.
  • Sony’s last widely cited pre-FY2025 public count was 47.4 million in March 2023.

PlayStation Network reached 125 million monthly active users in March 2026.

  • 125 million MAU at the end of FY2025 Q4 — up 1% year-on-year and a record for that quarter.
  • Holiday-quarter peak: 133 million MAU (FY2025 Q3, December 2025).
  • MAU is an estimate of unique accounts that played or used online services on PlayStation in the last month of the quarter.

About 37–38% of PSN MAU pay for PS Plus at FY2025 year-end (47.0M ÷ 125M), leaving a large free-only audience Sony can still convert.

PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers received over $1,304 worth of free video games in 2022.

  • The monthly retail value of free video games offered to PlayStation Plus subscribers decreased from 2018 to 2020.
  • However, in 2021, there was a significant increase in the monthly retail value of free video games.
  • In 2022, PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers were offered a total of 37 free games.
  • The cumulative value of these free games amounted to over $1,304.

Sony’s PlayStation Plus service has always been known for offering free video games to its subscribers, adding immense value to the subscription. This has been particularly significant for PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers who, in 2022, received an impressive collection of 37 free games.

PlayStation Plus lost 1.9 million subscribers between July and September 2022 after the three-tier relaunch.

  • Subscription numbers fell from 47.3 million to 45.4 million, despite the new service’s improved nature. However, the company has simultaneously seen a 10% increase in revenue, reaching ¥116 billion ($788 million).
  • The relaunch added three overlapping tiers, causing confusion among potential subscribers about which tier provided access to which era of games.

The rebooted offers, with hundreds of classic PlayStation games available for a subscription, failed to attract a significant new audience at first. Sony has chosen not to include new first-party titles in the subscription, instead charging a separate $70 for them. Despite the relaunch, the downward trend of subscriber numbers that started in the fall of 2021 moderated, and Sony reported 47.0 million subscribers again by March 2026.
