PlayStation Boss Says the PS5’s Best-Selling Game Is Yet to Come

Expert Verified By

"I'm not going to tell you which one."

Story Highlight
  • PlayStation Boss says there’s still a lot to come for the PS5, and there’s so much life left in the console.
  • He further says that the best-selling game of the PS5 is yet to be released.
  • Most likely, he’s referring to GTA 6.

Even though we’ve learnt a lot about the next-generation of PlayStation console, including hardware details and much more, Sony still has a lot to offer for the PS5’s remaining lifecycle.

Senior Vice President of Sony, Eric Lempe, said that we should still expect a lot from the current generation rather than looking forward. In a shocking statement, he further said that PS5’s best-selling game hasn’t even been released yet.

Why it matters: We’re five years deep into the PS5’s console lifecycle, and there’s still a lot to wait for. The lack of first-party support and a few dry years are potentially going to pay off in the latter half of the generation.

PS5 Has Now Sold 84.2 Million Units

Talking with the BBC, Lempe said there’s “a lot of great content” awaiting the current hardware and that they’re going to “just going to continue with PS5.” While discussing the game meant to be the console’s best-seller, he said:

I’m not going to tell you which one, but I think it’s still to come

The obvious game fitting the description is GTA 6, and no other title comes to mind so far. Rockstar’s ambitious open-world title recently got delayed again into November 2026, and with all the hype build-up, expect sales records to be shattered with just the pre-orders.

GTA 6 Expected To Sell 20 Million In Just A Day

Or, he could be talking about another game, but that’s just speculation. Marvel’s Wolverine and Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, even with all their perfections, just couldn’t hold a candle against GTA 6.

Even the best-seller on the PS5 right now is Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, a third-party game, so more than likely, the best-seller being mentioned is GTA 6.
