PlayStation 6: An ex-Sony leader evokes his output window, you will have to wait

Sony is already preparing the next generation of PlayStation 5 ? Officially, radio silence. But clues are already starting to filter. Shuhei Yoshida, an ex-Cadre de Sony, believes that the PS6 could land in 2028.

After 38 years at Sony, Yoshida left the company in January 2025. In an interview with Gamesbeathe gave his opinion on the life cycle of the consoles. For him, a launch in 2028 would be logical. He notably evokes a leak in Microsoft suggesting that The next Xbox would also come out that year.

More and more cycles for Sony consoles

At the time of the PS2, Sony renewed its consoles every five years. Then the pace slowed down: seven years between the PS3 and the PS4, still seven years before the PS5. If this trend is confirmed, the PS6 would arrive well in 2028.

Another rumor strengthens this hypothesis: the PS6 chip, which would be based on a new generation AMD architecturewould already be finalized and ready to enter into production. More intriguing, Sony would develop two versions of the console, a bit like Xbox Series X and S.

A PS6 available in two models

Sony could indeed adopt a double entry strategy: an ultra-powerful PS6 and a more accessible version. What meet the various expectations of players, between maximum performance and affordable price.

With The release of the PS5 Pro in 2024Sony extends the lifespan of the current generation. But the rest is already in preparation. If Yoshida has seen right, the PS6 and the future Xbox could arrive at the same time in 2028. The Japanese firm remains silent, but the story speaks for her: Sony never liked to leave.
