Sony is reportedly working on the PS6, the successor to the PS5, and has big ambitions for it. When it comes to the chip and graphics card, the Japanese giant should always turn to AMD.
According to a new report from Red Gaming Tech, a trusted source of gaming leaks, Sony wants to make the PS6 the most powerful console of the generation, surpassing the next Xbox. However, this could also mean that the PS6 won’t launch until 2028.
The report claims that Sony started working on the PS6 about a year ago, and consulted with developers and manufacturers to hammer out the console’s specifications and features. The report also states that Sony is expected to stick with AMD technology for the PS6, as AMD is the only supplier considered by Sony.
What do we know about the next PS6?
The exact specifications and price of the PS6 are not yet known, and they could change over time. However, the report suggests that Sony is determined to make the PS6 more powerful than its competitors and is willing to invest in advanced technologies such as ray tracing, path tracing, machine learning and AI.
For those who don’t know, ray tracing is a technique that simulates realistic lighting and reflections in games, and it is already supported by the PS5 and Xbox Series a more advanced form of ray tracing that renders every pixel in the scene with realistic lighting, but it is also very demanding and expensive.
The report suggests that Sony is banking on these technologies to give the PS6 a head start over the next Xbox, but he also acknowledges that it could come at a price. The PS6 could be very expensive to produce and purchase, and it could take longer to develop and launch. Of course, this is just a rumor, which should be taken with a grain of salt. Moreover, another rumor also announces that the PS6 would arrive at the same time as a brand new portable console.
