Sony reported its quarterly results tonight and it said that third-party games helped it grow operating profits by 2.8 times in the quarter compared to a year ago.
The games that took off included Astro Bot, which debuted on the PlayStation 5 on September 6 and generated 1.5 million copies sold.
So far this year, Helldivers 2, which debuted on February 8 from third-party dev Arrowhead Game Studios, has sold 12 million copies on the PC and PS5.
And Sony’s Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut has sold 9.7 million copies on the PS5 and the PC since its debut on May 16.
Sony also got a boost this year from The Last of Us Part II Remastered and from Horizon Forbidden West on the PC, but it did not say how much those games sold.
