Ahead of GTA 6, PlayStation 5 Sales Were Up 22%, Likely Due To Wolverine

The latter part of 2026 has been packed with excellent games, all leading up to GTA 6 on November 19, so it's not surprising that PS5 sales have jumped over last month. PlayStation 5 sales have jumped by 22%, according to a report from Bloomberg, with data from Circana. And, while it's likely that the buildup to GTA 6 has contributed to those sales, it looks like it was September's all-star lineup of games, and particularly Marvel's Wolverine, that were primarily behind the PS5's recent success.
