Overview

• According to a leaked AMD presentation, the PS6’s RDNA 5 GPU and GDDR7 memory could deliver roughly three times the rasterization performance of the base PS5 while drawing less power.
• The console is rumored to maintain backward compatibility with PS4 and PS5 titles and target a $499 price point at launch.
• The companion handheld, codenamed “Canis,” is said to feature a Zen 6c CPU, an RDNA 5 GPU with 12–20 compute units and deliver about half the PS5’s rasterization performance.
• Canis is expected to include a microSD slot, M.2 SSD slot, touchscreen, haptic vibration, dual microphones and a USB-C port with video-out support, with prices estimated between $400 and $500.
• Manufacturing for both PS6 and its handheld is reported to begin in mid-2027 ahead of a release window spanning fall 2027 to early 2028.
