‘They’re Not Going to Delay PS6’: Hardware Leaker Says 2027 Still Likely After Xbox Helix Reveal

by

So, after hearing about Project Helix yesterday, I saw that Moore’s Law Is Dead – that super reliable hardware leaker – is still predicting the PS6 will be out around late 2027. It’s good to have some idea of when to start saving up!

Recently, there’s been talk that Sony might delay the release of its next gaming console, possibly until 2028 or even later. Some readers believe Sony should wait until 2030, arguing that the PlayStation 5 still has a lot to offer.

The rumored delay has often been attributed to increasing costs for RAM and storage. However, MLID, who has reportedly reviewed manufacturing documents, suggests it would actually be more expensive for the company to cancel its contracts with manufacturers such as TSMC.

The source previously mentioned seeing signs that the PlayStation 6 was preparing for production around the second quarter of 2027, and they’re confirming that timeframe again in their newest video.

He suggests a delay until early 2028 might be feasible, giving the company time to build up its stock and fulfill current agreements. However, he doesn’t anticipate a launch much beyond that timeframe.

He believes the new console will be noticeably more affordable than Microsoft’s, though it might not be quite as powerful.

He believes the PS6 will be powerful enough to play games in 4K resolution at 120 frames per second. He also thinks that with a new technology called PSSR 3 and significantly better ray tracing, it will meet the needs of most gamers.

The next Xbox is anticipated to have improved graphics, but it’s likely to cost between $1,000 and $1,200. Microsoft has also confirmed that users will be able to install app stores other than its own, which could make it harder for them to sell the console at a discounted price.

Of course, all of this is just guesswork, and only Sony truly knows what’s happening internally.

While people were surprisingly okay with news that the PlayStation 6 might be delayed, there’s a lot of real excitement building for Project Helix to launch as quickly as it can.

We find this situation quite strange, and we’re eager to see how things develop once we have more details about both devices.
