But not only has the name not been officially confirmed, but there has also been no mention of a next-generation PlayStation console <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/the-ps5-pro-is-closer-than-you-think-at-least-thats-what-this-insider-suggests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"or even a PS5 Pro.\">or even a PS5 Pro.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s almost a guarantee, but technically nothing is set in stone.<\/strong> Rumors and possible leaks have already started to generate excitement, so let&#8217;s see what the future of PlayStation could be according to the rumors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible release date of PlayStation 6<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The biggest clue about when a PS6 could be released, or at least could have been planned at some point, points to 2027<\/strong>. This information comes from an official Microsoft court document in the context of the acquisition of Activision Blizzard: &#8220;By the time SIE would release the next generation of its PlayStation console (which would probably happen around 2027), it would have lost access to Call of Duty.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PS5 Pro - THIS is it!\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uoxn0V7L7wQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/media\/637cecede90e076b8043d8cd\/Sony_Interactive_Entertainment.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"The date is stated here\">The date is stated here<\/a>, and detectives have connected the dots between this and <strong>the agreement that Microsoft offered to Sony to keep Activision Blizzard games on PlayStation consoles until 2027<\/strong>. This suggests that, at the earliest, Microsoft did not believe there would be a new PlayStation before 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we look at past generations, that time span coincides with the lifespans of previous generations. <strong>The PlayStation 4 was around for seven years before the PS5 was released, and the PlayStation 3 was also around for seven years before its successor appeared.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The PS5 was released in 2020, which means that 2027 would leave us with a seven-year console cycle again.<\/strong> We wouldn&#8217;t bet for sure on 2027, but anything from late 2027 seems like a safe bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much will the PS6 cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is impossible to accurately estimate the price of PS6. Until we know all the details about its specifications, we can&#8217;t even begin to make rough calculations to determine its cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, considering the previous prices and the rumored specifications, <strong>it is difficult to imagine it costing less than 500 dollars at the time of its launch, if not closer to the dreaded 600 dollars.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RTX 4080 SUPER Analysis | PlayStation Vita 2 Leak | AMD Zen 5 Update\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A0s0Usfg__g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specifications and new features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The exact specifications of the PS6 are a bit scarce.

The next generation of AMD chips is expected to be released in 2025, so the PS6 could be manufactured with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We suspect that a new SSD will be included, as it was one of the main drivers for the PS5 to reduce loading times<\/strong>, but nothing has been leaked about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By the time PS6 is released, we can also expect at least 1 TB of storage<\/strong>, especially if the console ends up being digital-only.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"PlayStation App\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/00be5b32-9b62-11e6-869c-00163ed833e7\/1288856595\/playstation-app-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">PlayStation App<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/playstation-app.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/playstation-app.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/insider-gaming.com\/playstations-spectral-super-resolution-pssr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"Insider Gaming\">Insider Gaming<\/a> claims to have a document about a very exclusive feature <strong>that is being worked on for the PS6, called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR)<\/strong>.
