According to a hardware leaker known as Moore’s Law, who has successfully revealed details about the PS5 Pro in the past, he claims to have obtained an internal AMD presentation from 2023 that supposedly contains a wealth of information regarding the possible specifications for the PS6.
Throughout the video, it’s made clear multiple times that the specifications were correct as of 2023, but they might have been adjusted or revised since then. Yet, he points out that after discussing with someone knowledgeable about PlayStation hardware development, Sony often sticks closely to their original plan.
If this data is correct, I’d say we can anticipate that it offers a pretty good glimpse into the games they’ve been working on.
It’s crucial to note some key details regarding the upcoming Japanese gaming system: primarily, its creators are putting in significant effort to make it an affordable option compared to the PS5 Pro.
It’s evident that despite the possibility of global economic factors and tariffs disrupting their plans, what they aim to create isn’t a high-end $1,000 supercomputer, but rather a product for mass consumption.
In simple terms, it’s been suggested that the system might start being manufactured around mid-2027. This could potentially mean a launch in the latter part of 2027 or the early months of 2028, provided all goes smoothly.
Apart from the PS6, it’s also being reported that the platform owner is developing a portable device as well, a fact that has been whispered about for a while.
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m buzzing with anticipation! This game seems to be in development concurrently with the PS6, which means we might just see it hit the shelves around the same time as the next-gen console. Could this be the start of a new era in gaming? Only time will tell!
It’s anticipated that this device will appeal to a broad market at an affordable price, even though it won’t be as potent as the PS6 itself. As suggested earlier, the PS5’s “low power mode” could serve as a benchmark for developers to aim for in creating the portable version, which is expected to surpass the capabilities of the Switch 2 comfortably.
So those are all the headline details, but let’s get into the nitty-gritty of the proposed specs.
The upcoming PlayStation, known internally as Project Orion, is rumored to be unveiled in a 2023 presentation, with its focus being on these specific areas.
- 8 x Zen 6 (or later) cores
- 40-48+ RDNA 5 Compute Units at 3GHz+
- 160W TBP
- 160-bit or 192-bit bus with GDDR7 at 32GT/s+
- Rasterization Performance 3x PS5 (ray tracing expected to be higher)
- Chiplet design
- Backwards compatible with PS5 and PS4
As per the same AMD presentation, the device known as Canis is aimed at achieving the following objectives:
- 4 x Zen 6c cores
- 12-20 RDNA 5 Compute Units at 1.6-2GHz
- 15W TBP
- 128-bit bus with LPDDR5X-7500+
- Rasterization Performance 0.5x PS5 (ray tracing expected to be higher)
- Backwards compatible with PS5 and PS4
- MicroSD Slot and M.2 SSD Slot
- Haptic feedback
- Dual microphones
- Touchscreen
- USB-C port video out
As a devoted admirer, I find this information intriguing from a tech standpoint. If true, it seems Sony is planning a direction for the next generation that emphasizes affordability, energy efficiency, and performance optimization.
In essence, it’s safe to say that the gap between generations like the one seen from PS1 to PS2 might not occur again in the future. This is why the company’s strategy with its alleged handheld device could play a significant role, as it’s expected that you can share most of your library across the two devices (PS5 and the new one, presumably PS6). In simpler terms, if the rumors are true about their handheld device, you might be able to use a lot of the same games on both the PS5 and the potential successor.
If everything is correct, the key point to remember is that Sony seems to be targeting an affordable price range for its upcoming console. Previously, there were worries that Sony might overprice its next-generation device following the $700 PS5 Pro, but it appears they are still committed to catering to a broad audience.
The main hurdle for the platform owner will lie in transitioning players from PS5 to PS6, given our expectation that both consoles will offer the same library of games for an extended period. Additionally, if rumors about Sony’s cross-platform strategies are correct, it could result in a decrease in motivation to purchase a PlayStation compared to previous times.
As a fellow enthusiast, I must say this journey we’re embarking on is merely the initial leg of our speculative adventure. So, fasten your seatbelts, friends, as we buckle up for a thrilling voyage that extends all the way to 2027 and beyond!
