PS6 release date speculation, news and rumours on Sony's next console
12.04.2024 - 14:13 / radiotimes.com / Sony
The PlayStation 5 cycle has now crossed the halfway point if history if anything to go by, so speculation has naturally shifted to the PlayStation 6.
With the release of thePS5 Slim andPlayStation Portal most recently arriving from Sony and word of a PS5 Pro on the horizon, Sony is not slowing down on hardware anytime soon.
Despite all that, there have been some documents that suggest the current-gen could last a bit longer than previous ones — something to do with those initial days when you couldn't buy a PS5, perhaps?
With that in mind, we've gathered all of the data from around the web to best answer when a PS6 release date might happen and what the console might actually entail.
Read on to discover everything we've heard about the PlayStation 6 and for more speculation on its price and how streaming could make a big difference in the next console generation.
The PS6 doesn't look likely to launch until at least 2028, according to official documents and speculation that has been made around them.
As part of the UK's Competition and Markets Authority investigation into Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard that took place in 2022, documents have revealed that Sony does not intend to release a new console until after 2027.
The interesting part of this document, which certainly seems to imply that Sony will not be launching the next PlayStation console on this side of 2027, reads as follows:
«Microsoft has offered to continue making Activision's games available on PlayStation only until 2027… By the time SIE launched the next generation of its PlayStation console (which is likely to occur around [redacted]), it would have lost access to Call of Duty and other Activision titles, making it extremely vulnerable to consumer switching and subsequent degradation in its competitiveness.»
«Even assuming that SIE had the ability and resources to develop a similarly successful franchise to Call of Duty, it would take many, many years and billions of dollars to create a challenger to Call of Duty – and the example of EA's Battlefield shows that any such efforts would more than likely be unsuccessful.»
This roughly falls in line with the length of recent console cycles, a cycle which Sony's Executive Vice President of Hardware Engineering and Operation Masayasu Ito confirmed would be repeated in an interview with Game Informer.
He said: «In the past, the cycle for a new platform was seven to 10 years, but in view of the very rapid development and evolution of technology, it’s really a six to seven-year platform cycle.»
He added: «Therefore our thinking is that as far as a platform is concerned for the PS5, it’s a cycle of maybe six to seven years. But doing that, a platform lifecycle, we should be

I Met My Favourite Korean Cheerleader Because of Eve and Stellar Blade | Push Square
As the only British baseball fan on Planet Earth, I had one simple mission when I first arrived in Taipei: to choose a local team to support. Taiwan is infatuated with America’s former favourite pastime, and it’s even dedicated a spot on its $1,000 note to a celebrating squad. After much deliberation, I settled on the Rakuten Monkeys for one rather simple, primitive reason: they’d just signed Korean cheerleader Lee Dahye.

Sales, Discounts and Deals Thread - PlayStation 4 (PS4) Forum - Page 2
@RogerRoger No problem. I played Avengers when it was on PS Now and then later picked up the PS5 version 2nd hand to finish off the story. It was ok. I liked the story arc of the main antagonist and protagonist, but the missions get quite repetitive late on in the game. Out of all the extra characters I only played with Kate Bishop, I think her name was. Who was surprisingly fun to play as, but I was burnt out by the game by then so didn't finish her story.
