PS6 Could Launch in 2027 as Chip Design Said to Be Complete
Sony will inevitably follow up the PlayStation 5 with its next generation home console at some point. Based on court documents from its US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) trial over the attempt to acquire Activision Blizzard in 2023, Microsoft believes its next-gen Xbox console and Sony's PlayStation 6 will launch in 2028. A new claim, however, advances that timeline, suggesting the PlayStation parent is further along the development cycle for the PS5 successor. The design of the chip that will power the PS6 is reportedly ready, and Sony could begin producing the SoC for testing in late 2025.
