Information about the PS6 is scarce. So when Sony officially announces its future console, we hope to learn more about the successor to the PS5.
What will the next PS6 be made of?
2027, 2028, or beyond? The question of when the next PlayStation 6 will be released is on the minds of some Sony gamers, some of whom are eager to upgrade to a new generation of console. According to internal documents that emerged following the Activision-Microsoft lawsuit, it won't be before 2028. Also, some rumors speak of a hybrid console, with a portable version, an ultra-powerful machine whose chip manufactured by AMD would offer complete backward compatibility, as well as other services demonstrating a clear technological gap. A 100% digital machine whose player would be sold separately has also been mentioned.
Cloud gaming is not Sony's priority for the PS6
Among them, cloud gaming, a technology that allows you to play games without downloading them, but present on a cloud service, and with a (very) good connection.
Those most resistant to this technology, spearheaded by Microsoft and Nvidia, can rest assured. Sony Interactive President Hideaki Nishino has announced that the upcoming PS6 will not be the console that will allow the service to fully deploy its capabilities, and will therefore profoundly change the way we play video games. Nishino mentions "end-to-end network stability" that is "not (yet) under" their control. Because while cloud gaming is increasingly an additional option for players to access content, the higher cost of playing time compared to the traditional console model remains a challenge. without depending on network conditions." Understand, Sony will not shake up the habits of players right away, still very attached to their physical versions and their library of downloaded digital games.
While the PS5 does offer a cloud gaming option via its PS Plus Premium offer, it does not yet compete with the Nvidia GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming offers. On the other hand, many players do not seem ready to take the plunge, between those who remain attached to the "possession" aspect of games, and those who do not have a stable and fast connection anyway. It should be remembered that there are still many areas in France and around the world not covered by 5G, or whose performance is very uneven.
