We just got news of the mysterious PS6, which would potentially be the most powerful console of its generation. Let’s take stock of what we learned.
Currently, some PlayStation players have a very specific topic of discussion: the PS5 Pro. Is it being set up? For the moment, we’re content with rumors to ease the wait, but we don’t have anything official to go by. But without warning, we got news… about the PS6. And be careful, we’re not talking about just anything. We are told that it will be the most powerful console of its generation. Just that.
The PS6, a console that will crush the competition?
First of all, this information comes to us from the RedGaming Tech channel. As you will have understood, this means that we must take a step back from what is said. The PS6 has reportedly been in development for about a year, and its specs, such as its CPU or RAM, have obviously not yet been determined. So far, nothing unusual, it shouldn’t be an easy undertaking. Anyway, the Youtuber explains that Sony is talking with development studios to improve the machine’s system. For our man, it will necessarily be equipped by the manufacturer AMD.
According to Red Gaming Tech, the Japanese firm has no one else in its sights. For some people, this may seem surprising. What about NVIDIA, for example? Regardless, we are made to understand that Sony is seeking to make the PS6 the most powerful console of its generation. A strong statement, knowing that we don’t really have any details provided. The addition of ray tracing and path tracing is mentioned, which would give it a nice advantage over the others. In any case, the company would take its time, without rushing, and you know what that means. It’s not ready to be released, and we are talking about an arrival for 2028.
What about the PS5 Pro?
Well, the PS6 is all well and good, but what about the PS5 Pro? It is even more complicated to position oneself on the subject, in the sense that its existence has not been confirmed. The rumors have been going strong since 2022, but now, it remains only rumors. But then, where is the official information? For Tom Henderson, a fairly reliable insider in the field, Sony was expecting leaks in the coming weeks, but for the moment, no leaks on the horizon.
Without even talking about the PS6, the PS5 Pro could already offer a considerable graphics leap with better shader management. To do this, it would have two dedicated engines used to improve its performance. Remember, Jeff Grubb was talking about an in-house system that would provide better visuals and boost fluidity thanks to AI. We are not going to dwell on the subject, since we are purely and simply in theory, but it goes without saying that it makes you want to know more.
