Sony says it has enough RAM to meet PS5 demand through fiscal 2026

Sony said its memory supply is locked in for the PlayStation 5's next fiscal year, which should help it avoid a holiday crunch even if Grand Theft Auto VI pushes demand higher around its November release window.

Sony also said there is no change to its hardware profitability plan for FY26, which it expects to remain similar to FY25. At the same time, the company did not say whether the PS5 will get another price increase in the second half of this year.

The report comes after weaker console sales figures. Sony sold 1.6 million PS5 units in the first quarter of this fiscal year, down from 2.5 million in the same period last year. Kotaku also reported that Sony sold 1.38 million new PS5s last quarter, compared with 1.56 million a year earlier.

The company's overall PlayStation numbers remain larger. Sony said total monthly active users reached 125 million, up 2 million year over year, while lifetime PS5 shipments have now hit 95.3 million units.

With memory supply secured and GTA VI still ahead, the bigger question is whether Sony can keep PS5 availability stable if demand rises sharply later this year.

Will Sony's memory supply be enough to keep PS5 stock steady if GTA VI drives a bigger demand spike?
