The digital download ratio is up year-over-year at 72% from 70% last year but down quarter-over-quarter, with Q1 having a record high of 83%, the highest in both fiscal years 2024 and 2025. The report also revealed that Sony’s latest first-party title, Ghost of Yōtei, has sold 3.3 million units.
The number of monthly active users has also increased year-over-year from 116 million players to 119 million. However, it’s a decrease from Q1’s 123 million.
Interestingly, the report also mentioned Bungie in the “Game & Network Services Segment” in the handouts made by Sony, saying, “Recording of impairment losses against a portion of Bungie, Inc.’s intangible and other assets in connection with Destiny 2.” The company then said it had a 31.5-billion-yen deficit, which is around $204 million.
