We’re still a while away from the PS6, with plenty of life left in the current generation. However, we’ve already heard plenty of leaks and rumors about the new console, and now reports have been swirling that Sony is ready to delay the console’s launch.

You might have heard conflicting reports about the PS6‘s release. One minute, we’re hearing that the PS6 may be released as late as 2029, whereas industry insider KeplerL2 has stated the PS6 is set to release in 2027.

Kepler is the focus of our attention, as they have delivered some interesting updates on the PS6’s future.

‘No,’ is the Leaker’s Simple Response to PS6 Delay

In a NeoGAF thread discussing the PS6 being delayed, and that the console will launch in 2028 or 2029, KeplerL2 appeared with a familiar GIF—Frank Reynolds from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia shaking his head.

This is a clear indication that Kepler doesn’t believe the PS6 will be delayed, despite the PS6 launch window remaining uncertain amid memory prices.

He also liked another user’s post, which stated:

‘Delaying the console when it’s basically done doesn’t make any sense. They have TSMC contracts for the production of APUs, maybe even GDDR7 contracts with memory makers. R&D has cost them a few hundred million. PS5 sales are slowing down, and there is no guarantee that memory prices will drop between now and 2030. Releasing it in 2027, several million units sold before 2030, when memory price drops, you just lower price of the console and gain massive market share. Releasing it in 2030, no sales – 2030 memory prices could be lower the same or higher you start from scratch.’

If all this is true, we could see the PS6 next year! It will probably be another November launch, if this is the case, and it would be the next leap in gaming.

We’ll keep monitoring all leaks and reports concerning the PS6 and when we can expect to see or hear about it officially.

Until we hear more about the PS6, let’s enjoy the PS5, and one of its biggest games coming up is Marvel’s Wolverine!

We don’t need the PS6 in 2027.

What is the point of a new generation, when the current gen has barely justified its own existence so far. There have been maybe a handful of great original PS5 games so far, then a bunch of remakes.
