US EditionLeaked PS6 Specs Put the PS5 to Shame and May Be Much Cheaper than We Thought
JAPAN, AUG 1 – Sony aims to launch the PlayStation 6 and a new handheld with improved performance and lower power use, targeting $400-$500 price points to compete with Xbox and Nintendo.
- Leaked specs reveal that Sony plans to launch the PlayStation 6, codenamed Orion, alongside a portable console, Canis, in late 2027 or early 2028.
- These leaks stem from a 2023 AMD presentation shared by Moore's Law Is Dead on July 31, though official specs will not be confirmed until well into 2026.
- The PS6 will use an 8-core Zen 6 CPU and 40-48 RDNA 5 GPU compute units clocked above 3GHz, with GDDR7 memory on a 160-192 bit bus targeting 160W total board power.
- The expected performance of the PlayStation 6 includes approximately three times the rasterization capability of the PS5, a 6 to 10 times increase in ray tracing power, complete support for games from both the PS4 and PS5 generations, and a projected retail price of about $499.
- Sony’s focus on balancing power, price, and efficiency suggests a conservative upgrade that may maintain affordability while delivering substantial improvements over previous models.
