Rumors about the PlayStation 6 are starting to surface, hinting at major upgrades to hardware and performance.
The PlayStation 5 has been a fan favorite since its release in 2020, offering stunning graphics, lightning-fast load times, and unique features like haptic feedback on the DualSense controller. But as we hit the midlife point of the current generation, it’s only natural for fans to start speculating about what’s next.
If history is any indication, we might not see Sony’s next console until 2027 or 2028. However, recent rumors suggest that the PlayStation 6 could feature some major improvements in terms of hardware.
Sony Next-Gen PlayStation 6 Leaked Details
This latest rumor comes from a reliable leaker on the Chinese Chiphell forum (via VideoCardz). The user, who goes by the name Zhangzhonghao, has shared some new details about AMD’s upcoming technologies and hinted at what we might expect from the PlayStation 6.
According to the leak, AMD is gearing up to replace its RDNA series with UDNA, a cutting-edge graphics architecture expected to launch next year. This tech, built using TSMC’s N3E process, promises better efficiency and performance.
One of the most exciting claims is that Sony plans to integrate AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology into the PlayStation 6’s APU. For context, 3D V-Cache has shown significant improvements in PC gaming performance, and its addition here could mean big things for how games perform on console.
Zhang shared, “Sony will also stack 3D on the console side, but Microsoft doesn’t know yet.” This suggests that while Sony appears to have a solid plan for its next console, competitors might still be weighing their options.
While these details sound exciting, it’s important to remember that nothing has been officially confirmed. Tech leaks, no matter how credible, should always be taken with a grain of salt.
As for the current-gen PlayStation 5 news, a recent report from Bloomberg revealed that Sony has canceled two live service games this week, including a God of War game that Bluepoint Games was working on for two years.
