State of Play spotlights Wolverine as PS5 first-party sales tick up after years of decline

Sony’s latest State of Play aired June 2 and ran more than 60 minutes, with Marvel’s Wolverine confirmed as the main game in the presentation. Sony said Insomniac Games would show combat gameplay and new details, and the event was available on PlayStation’s YouTube channel. The showcase landed in the middle of a busy Summer Game Fest week, putting Sony back in the center of the summer reveal cycle. videogameschronicle.com

The presentation arrives against a mixed backdrop for PlayStation’s game business. Game File’s data shows Sony’s first-party game sales peaked at 58.4 million copies in fiscal 2020 and then fell for five straight years before a small uptick in FY2025. That rebound lifted sales from 28.9 million in FY2024 to 32.1 million in FY2025, helped by Ghost of Yotei. kotaku.com gamesindustry.biz videogameschronicle.com

Even with the improvement, the broader trend still shows how uneven Sony’s first-party pipeline has been since the PS5 launched. The cited data says Sony sold less than half as many first-party games in 2024 as it did in 2020, a year that included The Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Demon’s Souls. The charts also point to longer AAA development cycles and inconsistent studio output as key reasons behind the slowdown. kotaku.com gamesindustry.biz videogameschronicle.com

Common questions on PlayStation, surfaced from across the indexed web.

Do I regret buying a PlayStation 5 Pro already?

It's not like I regret selling my base PS5 for the upgraded Pro version, but I'd be lying if I said this generation hasn't felt unusually uncertain compared to Sony's previous console eras. There was a time when PlayStation exclusives arrived with rhythm and consistency, and even its best first-party studios pumped out multiple games in a generation. Now, however, entire years go by with almost nothing but CGI trailers, vague promises, and radio silence from studios that we once trusted blindly. Development cycles have ballooned out of control, and even announced games no longer feel guarantee
