With 2026 halfway over, it’s a good time to look back on some of the most successful PS5 titles and how they fared, especially in terms of physical sales. While PlayStation (and other publishers) haven’t officially revealed the same, Alinea Analytics has some interesting estimates, starting with Resident Evil Requiem.
It apparently sold 3.5 million copies on PS5, with physical discs contributing 27.8 percent of that total. With an alleged $250 million in revenue, it’s undoubtedly a hit, although short playtime would make it ideal for reselling, per Rhys Elliott. Then there’s 007 First Light with two million copies reportedly sold on the platform, generating roughly $142 million in revenue. Of that total, about 21 percent is physical – another prime candidate for reselling, even if it has a post-launch roadmap.
Crimson Desert is next with 1.9 million reportedly sold, of which 19.9 percent are physical. While it’s brought in $142 million on PS5 alone, it’s worth noting that the majority of sales were in March and April – May apparently saw only 112,000 copies sold.
Despite coming in fourth place, Forza Horizon 5 reportedly selling 1.2 million copies is still a great milestone, since it launched last year and serves as a port of a 2021 title. It’s reportedly hit 6.2 million sales on PS5, and you’d have to imagine that Forza Horizon 6 will be a massive hit when it arrives for the console later this year.
