Sony has been steadily porting its PlayStation library to Steam. Our latest look at the numbers suggests that these titles have generated an estimated $1.5 billion (approx. KRW 2.2 trillion) in total revenue.

Market research firm Alinea Analytics released a report on the 21st (local time) detailing the performance of PS5 titles and other PlayStation games on Steam. The study is based on their own independent estimates of the software released by PlayStation Studios.

As mentioned, we are looking at roughly $1.5 billion in total revenue across more than 43 million units sold. Sony kicked off this PC expansion back in 2020 with Horizon Zero Dawn, and they haven't looked back since, bringing a plethora of PS4 and PS5 hits to the platform.

While these figures cover the last five years, it is worth putting them into perspective: Sony’s game division reported a total revenue of 1.1132 trillion yen (approx. KRW 10.46 trillion) in the second quarter of the 2025 fiscal year (July–September 2025). Though this Steam revenue is a modest slice of the corporate pie, pulling in an average of over KRW 440 billion annually from back-catalog titles is a tidy little earner that Sony clearly finds attractive.

Beyond the headline figures, the data offers some intriguing specifics. The undisputed champion is Helldivers 2, which moved 12.7 million units for an estimated $400 million (approx. KRW 590 billion). Trailing behind are Horizon Zero Dawn with 4.5 million units ($170 million / approx. KRW 250 billion), God of War with 4.2 million units ($150 million / approx. KRW 221.2 billion), Days Gone with 3.4 million units ($108 million / approx. KRW 159.3 billion), and Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered with 2.7 million units ($116 million / approx. KRW 171.1 billion).

What is particularly telling is that the novelty of seeing PlayStation games on Steam is wearing off. God of War hit 2.5 million sales within 427 days of its Steam launch, but its sequel, God of War Ragnarök, struggled to reach 940,000 units in the same timeframe. Similarly, the first Marvel's Spider-Man sold 1.4 million units within 294 days, while its successor barely scraped past 690,000 units.

Alinea Analytics suggests that Sony’s real challenge lies in finding the 'sweet spot' for release windows—satisfying PC players without cannibalising their own PS5 console sales. They also pointed out that if Valve evolves its gaming hardware into a more formidable rival platform via something like a new 'Steam Machine', Sony might find itself forced to rethink its entire PC porting strategy.
