The buzz around Sony’s PS6 is heating up. A leaked document surfaced a few months back, igniting speculation about the console with some juicy clues about what’s in store. The anticipation for the release date of the PS6 is at an all-time high, with Reddit users joining in on the hype and sharing their predictions.
Redditors Predict PS6 Release Date
Based on Sony’s console release patterns, many gamers are predicting a launch window between 2028-2030. Sony’s history of releasing consoles seems to back up this speculation, but there’s a factor to consider. The release of PS5 has faced delays caused by the pandemic, which means the launch of PS6 may take a bit longer than anticipated.
Lost in translation: PS6 2027 rumors “debunked” according to Redditors
In the world of gaming, contracts and deals are constantly in motion. The reason a 2027 release date is making waves is that it marks the end of the previous COD deal, which was set to be in effect until 2027. The current deal, which lasts 10 years, will wrap up in 2034.
- In the original document, it states that “the next generation of its PlayStation console” wouldn’t launch until after the contract expires – which is in 2027.
- Although it’s not a 100% confirmation, we got some info that hints at what we might not see in the PS6. It looks like if Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) decides not to extend its contract with Activision, we might have to say goodbye to some seriously epic titles.
And let’s be real, that’s not just a bummer for SIE, but for all avid gamers out there. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that things work out in our favor.
PS6 Possible Specs
- 16-core Photonic Processor
- 12 Cores Arm CPU
- 32-48 GB RAM
- 100 teraflops with RTX 4090 or Higher
- 120 FPS 4k or 8K
Rumor from trusted source: Cerny has been granted the hardware design job once again for PS6. First American to design a PS system with PS4 and now will be responsible for 3 generations of PS hardware.

How much will the PS6 cost?
- While we can’t say for sure what kind of exciting features the PS6 will have, we do know that past PlayStation consoles typically cost between $400 to $500.
- However, with cutting-edge technology advancing at lightning speed, it’s safe to assume that the PS6 will be top-of-the-line and might fall in the range of $600 to $700+.
