\"PS6<\/a><\/p>\n

To quote PlayStation console architect Mark Cerny in a recent AMD video<\/a>, next-gen is just a \u201cfew years away\u201d. And it seems the target \u2013 consistent with past console release cycles \u2013 is 2027.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re beginning to get fairly regular and frequent leaks regarding the future format from a handful of sources, with KeplerL2<\/a> \u2013 a notorious hardware snoop over the years \u2013 saying \u201cit\u2019s the plan [to release the PS6 in 2027] unless any unexpected delays occur\u201d.<\/p>\n

That would align pretty perfectly with what Cerny himself said, and would be consistent with the seven-year cycle of the PS4.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been some debate recently whether Microsoft will even have a new console<\/a>, but the firm rebutted reports that it had cancelled its hardware plans last weekend.<\/p>\n

Now a leak from YouTuber Moore\u2019s Law Is Dead<\/a> claims Xbox is also planning to deploy a new device in 2027, although whether it will be a traditional console or some kind of hybrid PC remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

According to hardware leaks from the aforementioned source \u2013 who accurately revealed the make-up of the PS5 Pro \u2013 the next Xbox (should it reach the market) will be packing more horsepower than the PS6, but is also likely to be considerably more expensive.<\/p>\n

Obviously, we\u2019ll need to wait and see what real-world advantages the Microsoft hardware has over Sony\u2019s effort and how much it all actually matters.<\/p>\n

Many fans feel like we\u2019ve already reached the point of diminishing returns, so a few extra frames for potentially hundreds of dollars may not be a compelling proposition \u2013 especially when retailers are beginning to remove Microsoft\u2019s current effort, the Xbox Series X|S, from stores.<\/p>\n

To be honest, we\u2019re still at least 18 months away from learning about each manufacturer\u2019s next-gen plans, and a lot could change in that time. While we\u2019re at that stage in the cycle now where these rumours won\u2019t go away, we imagine most details are still in a state of flux.<\/p>\n

Indeed, specs, clock speeds, release dates, and prices could all change before launch. It\u2019s interesting to follow these rumours, then \u2013 and we\u2019ll of course continue to update you on what we know \u2013 but it\u2019s perhaps not worth thinking about it too much until many of these details get locked down.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, how do you feel about a 2027 release date for the PS6? Will you be there day one, or does it all depend on the price and software? Let us know in the comments section below.<\/p>\n
