PS6 Release: When will the PlayStation 6 appear?
When will the PS6 appear? Sony has not officially presented the console yet, nor has there been an announcement. On average, Sony has usually released a console every 5 to 6 years. Experts assume that we should not expect a release until 2025/2026 at the earliest.
Are you already working on the PS6? Yes, work is already being done on the PS6, but there should be no talk of a release status for a long time. Because the former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden had explained in a podcast that after the release of a console you always start developing a coming generation:
You start working on the next-gen platform almost the day after you release whatever the current-gen is. The development of the PlayStation 5 is very far back. (…) You always have to be a little ahead of things.
PS6 price: how much will the next console cost?
What could the PS6 cost? No price is known yet. Sony had raised the price from the last generation (PS4) to the current generation (PS5) by 100 euros. You can buy the PS5 with a drive for 499 euros. It is assumed that Sony is similar to the price of the PS6 and is aiming for a sales price of between 500 and 600 euros.
PS5 Pro or PS6 – Which models will there be?
Is a PS5 Pro coming? There hasn’t been an official announcement from Sony yet. It is at least claimed by various sources that Sony is working on the PlayStation 5 Pro, which will be a higher and more premium version of the existing console. A leaker even thinks he knows the price and release of the PS5 Pro.
A new version of the PS5 should at least be planned, but it is not yet known whether there is a PS5 Pro behind it.
Which models will there be from the PS6? The PS5 has both a disc model and a digital edition. In the latest sales figures, Sony was surprised by how successfully the Digital Edition of the PS5 sold. Sony is also said to sell more than 50% of all games digitally.
If the demand for a digital edition is high, then Sony should again offer both a digital edition and a disc version of the PS6.
Some users even speculate that Sony could only release a digital edition of the PS6 to push its own online shop.
