Recently, in statements by Naomi Matsuoka, senior vice president of Sony, it was suggested that the PlayStation 5 is entering the final phases of its life cycle, which has sparked speculation in the sector regarding the arrival of a new PlayStation console.

Although Sony has maintained a constant in the naming of its consoles, which leads us to think that the next model might be called PlayStation 6, there is still no official confirmation of this, nor of a Pro version of the PS5 or a next-generation console. .

Although there is nothing concrete, rumors and possible leaks have begun to circulate, adding expectation regarding what the future of PlayStation consoles might hold.

There is speculation that the possible PlayStation 6 might be on the horizon by 2027, according to court documents filed by Microsoft in connection with its acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

Although official confirmation is still missing, these statements and documents suggest that planning for the next generation of PlayStation consoles might already be underway, ushering in a new era in digital entertainment.

When examining previous generations of consoles, there is a coincidence in the timelines regarding their duration on the market.

The PlayStation 4 enjoyed a seven-year run before the PS5 was released, and similarly, the PlayStation 3 also remained on the market for seven years before being succeeded.

Since the PS5 was released in 2020, projecting a new console for 2027 would follow this pattern, once more resulting in a seven-year console life cycle.

The PlayStation 5 was launched on the market in 2020.

The exact technical details of the PS6 are not yet widely known. According to Moore’s Law is Dead, Sony will certainly maintain its collaboration with AMD for the development of both the PS6 and the PS5 Pro.

This alliance is logical, considering that the PS5 already incorporates an AMD chipset, which would simplify aspects such as backward compatibility and games that span several generations. AMD’s next generation of chips is anticipated to be released in 2025, and this is likely to be the foundation on which the PS6 will be built.

There is also speculation regarding the inclusion of a new SSD in the PS6, driven by the notable advance it represented in the PS5 by significantly minimizing loading times. Although there is no concrete information leaked regarding this yet.

Regarding storage, by the time the PS6 launches, it is expected to have at least 1TB, especially considering the trend towards digital-only consoles.

Insider Gaming has revealed that it has information regarding an innovative feature in development for the PS6 called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). This technology will reportedly allow games to run at 4K at 120 fps or 8K at 60 fps. It is indicated that a less powerful version of PSSR is being implemented in the PS5 Pro, but its full use is expected for the PS6.

Determining the price of the future PS6 with any degree of certainty is, at this point, complicated. Without having access to precise information regarding the exact technical specifications of the console, it is unfeasible to make calculations or estimates on the potential cost.

However, based on the launch prices of previous consoles and considering the technical specifications that are currently circulating as rumors, it would be highly unlikely to expect the launch price of the PS6 to be less than $500.

In fact, there is a considerable possibility that this new gaming system might reach or even exceed the $600 threshold.
