The individual known for exposing hardware details, specifically the specifications of the PS5 Pro, asserts that he has obtained a slideshow from AMD, dated in 2023, which allegedly contains a wealth of prospective insights regarding the PS6.
Throughout the video, he repeatedly emphasizes that the specifications were correct up until 2023, but they might have been adjusted or modified since then. Nevertheless, he mentions that based on a conversation with someone knowledgeable about PlayStation hardware development, Sony usually doesn’t deviate significantly from their initial proposal for a product.
If this info holds up, I’d say it gives us a pretty good glimpse into what the game publisher might have brewing up next.
As a passionate gamer excited about the upcoming release, I can’t help but share some key details that have caught my attention. Firstly, the Japanese titan in gaming is leaving no stone unturned to make sure the forthcoming system will be budget-friendly. What’s even more intriguing is their ambition to price it significantly lower than the PS5 Pro, which has already piqued my interest!
Certainly, the impact of international trade policies and economic fluctuations might disrupt their plans, yet it’s evident that they aim to create a consumer-friendly product rather than a high-end $1,000 supercomputer.
Moreover, reports suggest that the system might begin production around mid-2027. This could potentially mean it will be launched towards the end of 2027 or the beginning of 2028, given all goes smoothly.
Besides the PS6, the platform owner is also developing a portable device, which has long been whispered about in the gaming community.
An intriguing aspect of this is that it seems to share a release schedule with the PS6, suggesting a potential launch in sync with the upcoming next-generation console.
The predicted price range of this device aligns with mass market affordability, but it’s important to note that its performance won’t match the PS6 directly. As suggested earlier, the energy-saving mode introduced in the PS5 could potentially serve as a benchmark for developers working on the upcoming portable device, which is anticipated 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.
In a supposed 2023 unveiling, the upcoming PlayStation console, known as Project Orion, is aimed at the following.
- 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
This content offers a significant amount of technical detail, but if correct, it provides a glimpse into Sony’s future plans for their next-generation technology. These plans seem to focus on affordability, energy efficiency, and high performance in terms of lower power consumption.
In essence, it’s safe to say that the gap between generations like PS1 to PS2 might not repeat itself in the future, implying a prolonged period for the cross-generation compatibility between PS5 and PS6. This is where the company’s strategy with its speculated handheld device could potentially come into play, as it seems likely that you’ll be able to share most of your library across these two devices.
If everything checks out, the key point is that Sony seems determined to offer their next-generation console at a price accessible to many, rather than charging exorbitant amounts as some had feared following the $700 PS5 Pro. This suggests they’re still focused on appealing to a broad audience.
The main hurdle for the platform owner will lie in transitioning players from PS5 to PS6, given that we anticipate both consoles to offer the same library for an extended period. If the whispers about Sony’s multi-format strategy are true, then there might be less motivation to purchase a PlayStation than ever before.
To put it simply, this is merely the beginning of our journey into speculations, so hold tight everyone, as we embark on a thrilling voyage that will take us all the way to 2027 and beyond.
