The PS5 is hardly available and is constantly sold out. However, it is said that Sony is already working on the successor.
MeinMMO summarizes all the rumors and information regarding the PlayStation 6 and explains what you need to know.
PS6 Release: When will the PlayStation 6 be released?
When will the PS6 be released? Sony has not officially presented the console nor has there been an announcement about it. On average, Sony has released a console every 5 to 6 years. Experts believe we should expect a release no earlier than 2025/2026.
Is work already being done on the PS6? Yes, work is already underway on the PS6, but it is still a long way from being in a release state. The former head of PlayStation, Shawn Layden, stated in a podcast that development of the next generation begins immediately after the release of a console:
Work on the next-generation platform typically begins almost the day after you have released whatever the current generation is. The development of the PlayStation 5 is a long time ago. (…) You always have to be a bit ahead of things.
PS6 Price: How much will the next console cost?
What could the PS6 cost? No price is known yet. Sony raised the price from the last generation (PS4) to the current generation (PS5) by 100 euros. You can buy the PS5 with a disc drive for 499 euros. It is suspected that Sony will aim for a similar price with the PS6, targeting a sale price between 500 and 600 euros.
PS5 Pro or PS6 – What models will there be?
Will there be a PS5 Pro? There has been no official announcement from Sony yet. However, various sources claim that Sony is working on the PlayStation 5 Pro, which will be a higher-quality version of the existing console. One leaker even claims to know the price and release of the PS5 Pro.
A new version of the PS5 is at least planned, but it is still unclear whether it is a PS5 Pro.
What models will there be of the PS6? There are both a disc model and a digital edition of the PS5. Sony was surprised by the latest sales figures, showing how successful the PS5 Digital Edition has been. It is also said that Sony sells more than 50% of all games digitally.
If there is high demand for a digital edition, Sony will likely offer both a digital edition and a disc version of the PS6.
Some users even speculate that Sony might only release a digital edition of the PS6 to promote their online store.
PS6 Features – Specifications, Functions, and Backward Compatibility
What hardware is in the PS6? It is supposedly already certain that there will again be hardware from AMD in the PS6. AMD is already looking for a “System-on-Chip Verification Engineer” for the upcoming consoles.
What hardware will ultimately be used in the PS6 is still unknown. The PS5 already has a really fast SSD. Whether the PS6 will top the speed is something we cannot say.
Can I play PS4 games on the PS6? It is currently not known whether you can also play old games on the PS6. Thanks to the backward compatibility feature on the PS5, you can play your PS4 games on the PS5. Whether this feature will also come to the PS6 is currently uncertain.
