PS5 Physical Games: Sales Split Shows 1.3M Resident Evil Lead

Resident Evil Requiem is the best‑selling physical PS5 game of 2026, moving 1.3 million copies, while digital titles still command a 70 % market share, highlighting a pronounced split between single‑player AAA retail successes and the dominant digital ecosystem. According to verified reports from GameSpot News, Alinea Analytics’ head of market analysis Rhys Elliott confirmed that the top physical sellers are primarily single‑player blockbusters, with 007 First Light moving 873 K units and Marvel's Wolverine close behind at 799 K. Overall, digital sales account for roughly 70 % of all PS5 game revenue, underscoring Sony’s ongoing transition toward a digital‑first strategy. The data suggests retailers may need to adjust inventory models, while developers could prioritize digital‑friendly monetisation.
