  • Leaked figures estimate up to 3× rasterization performance over the base PS5 and substantial ray tracing gains that could rival a GeForce RTX 4080.
  • Production is planned to begin in mid-2027 for a projected late-2027 to early-2028 launch at a mass-market price near $499.
  • Sony plans to maintain backward compatibility with PS5 and PS4 titles to support a seamless cross-generation game library.
  • A companion handheld console codenamed ‘Canis’ is also outlined with four Zen6C cores, 12–20 RDNA5 Compute Units, a 15W power cap and LPDDR5X memory.
