Whether you want to believe it or not, the next generation of consoles is right around the corner. Just this past month, Xbox announced that it was working on Project Helix, its next-gen Xbox console. Although Sony has been quiet about what\u2019s after the PS5, we do know they\u2019re deep in development on its next-generation console, with recent rumors claiming they\u2019re going with a hybrid handheld approach, similar to the Nintendo Switch. Whatever it is, most rumors seem to agree that 2027 will be the year we get to experience both consoles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, with many questions swirling around and no answers in sight, one does have to wonder: what will they bring to the table? Well, we\u2019ve been digging around and have discovered a few things relating to PlayStation\u2019s next-gen console.<\/p>\n

A Next-Gen Horror Game and Apps<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to start this piece with some \u201cthat\u2019s so obvious, anyone could have guessed it\u201d things that we uncovered. The first being around what seems to be cross-gen development. At the moment, it looks like Sony has people working on developing assets (both 2D and 3D) for the current (PS5) and next-gen (PS6) consoles. These assets have been described as \u201cAAA\u201d quality. Not much else to add there, but it may suggest we\u2019ll get cross-gen titles from Sony going into next-gen, similar to how we saw some PS5 games released on PS4.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another obvious one is that Sony is looking to further build out its social apps on the platforms, which it describes as \u201cNext Gen Social Apps.\u201d Likely the terminology used every time they move gen, so nothing out of the ordinary there. Video streaming and multitasking, much like they were on PS4 and PS5, are also being built upon on the next-gen PlayStation console, and, to our understanding, it\u2019s the same team of people leading it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Again, pretty obvious stuff, so let\u2019s take a look at some juicier things we discovered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the big things we learned is that Sony is partnering with another studio to develop a next-generation game featuring \u201cimmersive third-person horror shooter\u201d mechanics<\/strong>, built on Unreal Engine 5.\u00a0 We don\u2019t know the specific partner or title, though I would like to point out that the wording doesn\u2019t necessarily imply it\u2019s a flat-out shooter set in some kind of horror setting; rather, it features shooting mechanics. Take that as you will. We also learned that it will be using motion performance capture and have a player progression system of sorts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, Firesprite is rumored to be working on a survival-horror game internally called \u201cProject Heartbreak.\u201d Back in 2024, we reported<\/a> findings that the IP was apparently based on an established IP, leading to speculation that it could be Until Dawn 2 or a new Siren game. Firesprite faced layoffs in 2024, leading to the cancellation of some games, including a new Twisted Metal<\/a>. We\u2019re unsure if Project Heartbreak is still alive, but we do know the mysterious next-gen horror shooter was still being worked on as of late (August-October) <\/strong>last year<\/strong>. Both titles are using Unreal Engine 5<\/strong>, so there\u2019s a chance this is that title, though at the time of reporting, that title had PS5 and PC as its platforms, where this was said to be developed for next-gen.<\/p>\n

Could it have been moved to next-gen? Or is this perhaps another IP?<\/p>\n

Next-Gen Cloud Game Streaming Will Run on Gen5 SSDs<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

PlayStation has been ramping up its Cloud Game Streaming service for the past few console generations, and looking at the next generation of PlayStation, that\u2019s likely not going to change, as we do know that SIE has no plans to move away from it. No surprise, given that support for PlayStation Cloud streaming has increased to include nearly every new major game release in the last couple of years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the push will go beyond more game support, as we\u2019ll see some upgrades to PlayStation\u2019s cloud game streaming service, based on the information we have uncovered. Work on the hardware infrastructure for the next-gen cloud game streaming servers has been underway for roughly 3-4 years. The info also confirmed that the hardware supporting the PS5\u2019s cloud game streaming infrastructure currently uses a PCIe Gen4 NVMe as its storage server solution, with the next-gen cloud game streaming infrastructure using PCIe Gen5 NVMe<\/strong>. I think it\u2019s fair to say that the PlayStation 6 (or whatever it\u2019s called) will also use PCIe Gen5 NVMe.<\/p>\n

This lines up with recent leaks from known AMD leaker Kepler_L2, who previously said<\/a> the console was likely going to have a 1TB Gen5 SSD. That was, of course, referring to the hardware in the actual console, whereas this relates to the storage solution for the cloud streaming service.<\/p>\n

For comparison, here is what the max speeds of each PCIe Gen can reach:<\/p>\n
