While digital sales and revenue generated by PlayStation Network services generated $1.7 billion and $862 million, respectively, the fact that physical sales have been so high in this period is something remarkable. Let us remember that it was in this period when God of War Ragnarok hit the market, as well as titles such as The Callisto Protocol Y Need for Speed: Unboundwhich recorded the highest number of physical sales on the PS5.
We just have to see how this section will fare during the current quarter. On a related note, here’s how you can keep games in the PlayStation Plus Collection even after it’s shut down. Similarly, there is an increase in new PS5 users.
Editor’s Note:
While the physical sector still lags behind the digital, these revenues make it clear that we are far from this aspect of the industry disappearing. As long as we keep buying records, all will be right with the world.
