On Nov. 11, 2025, Sony released its latest financial report covering the second quarter of the fiscal year 2025. In it, the company recorded a gaming division revenue of ¥1.11 trillion Japanese Yen or around $7.2 billion.

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 year 2024 and 2025. The report also revealed that Sony’s latest first-party title, Ghost of Yotei, has sold 3.3 million units.

Monthly active users have also increased year-over-year from 116 million players to 119 million. However, it’s a decrease from Q1’s 123 million.

Interestingly, Bungie was also mentioned in the Game & Network Services Segment in the handouts made by Sony. The mention was in a negative light, 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 was ¥31.5 billion, which is around $204 million.
