Overview

  • Leaks indicate the PS6 will deliver roughly three times the PS5’s rasterization performance with a five- to tenfold upgrade in ray tracing based on RDNA 5 architecture.
  • The console is expected to launch at $499, matching the PS5 price while using GDDR7 memory and Zen 6 CPU cores for lower power draw.
  • Reports suggest Sony will include backward compatibility for both PS4 and PS5 titles to preserve players’ existing libraries.
  • An AMD insider estimates the PS6’s GPU could rival a Radeon RX 9070XT, positioning it ahead of Microsoft’s next Xbox, which is pegged near RTX 5080 performance.
  • Sony is developing a Zen 6-powered handheld codenamed “Canis” with about half the PS5’s rendering power, a $400–$500 price range, and a fall 2027 release.
