When is the PlayStation 6 coming out?

While it is true that Sony has not yet officially announced the release date of the PlayStation 6, rumors about its release date and its features are becoming more and more evident. In addition to the information circulating on forums and social networks, we can take as a reference the previous release cycles and trends in the video game industry to make our own guesses.

So we have prepared this post, which may be updated as new data becomes available, to gather Everything we know so far about the PS6.

The reader should be warned that all the information presented in this post does not come from official sources, but is taken from different internet media which, in turn, have collected data and rumours of varying reliability.

Possible features of the PlayStation 6

Although it is in the realm of assumptions, it is not too bold. guess some of the features of the upcoming PlayStation 6It is also true that in each new generation of this console there have been great changes and some surprises. Even so, we dare to advance the following:

• Modular upgradesThe idea is to divide the PlayStation into smaller parts that could be replaced or updated if necessary.
• Backward compatibility, so you can play games from older consoles without any problems.
• Integrated wireless connection. This is something that the PlayStation 5 already has, but it could be improved with a specific area at the top of the console. A platform to be able to recharge other devices, such as a smartphone.
• More compact design. A feature that seems almost certain. The PS6 will, in all likelihood, be smaller and lighter. That is, more manageable and easily transportable.
• Updated interfaceThis is something that is almost guaranteed with each new generation of Sony's console. And in this case, after such a long wait, even more so.
• Virtual reality integration, as this is the path that the video game sector will follow in the coming years. Will we say goodbye to VR accessories for good?
• More digitalizationFollowing the example of phones without charging ports or headphone jacks, it's only a matter of time before consoles without disc drives appear. Perhaps with the PlayStation 6.
• Storage improvements. It would be nice if the internal components of the PS6 were more accessible, so that the hard drive could be replaced with a larger one without any problems.

PlayStation 6: Most likely specifications

It seems logical to think that PlayStation 6 specifications will match or exceed those of its predecessorHowever, since we'll still have to wait a while for the new console to hit the market (more on that later), it's risky to say what kind of hardware will be available then.

In any case, a PlayStation is expected with a faster and more powerful CPU. Surely equipped with more responsive controls. Some leaks that have been seen on the Internet speak of that Sony will continue its partnership with AMD to deliver a speculative 4K at 120 fps and 8K at 60 fps gaming experience.

Images of the supposed final look of the PS6, such as those accompanying this post, are simply unofficial designs. That is to say, they should not be taken literally.

Estimated release date

Looking back, Sony has released a new PlayStation every few years. Since the PS3, The official presentation has always taken place at the end of the year., so it is to be expected that this will be repeated with the PlayStation 6.

This launch cycle moves within a range of between 7 and 10 years, although given the speed at which technology evolves, this time span could be reduced.Could we talk about a launch in 2026? Maybe.

Sony, which is a serious and forward-thinking brand, already has the trademark for versions of its console up to the PS10.

Price of the next PS6

And finally we come to the question of price, about which there is little to do but make assumptions. The latest Sony consoles They had launch prices between $400 and $500. Considering the more than likely hardware improvements and additional features of the new generation, it will not be unreasonable to talk about prices around 600 dollars for the PlayStation 6.

Similarly, it is expected that the pre-orders will begin to be accepted right after the official announcement of the console by Sony. As always, they will be available through the official PlayStation website.

In conclusion, we'll learn more about the future console's design and related aspects (games, backward compatibility, and other hardware details) as we get closer to its launch.
