PlayStation: Sony gives first hint about release of the 6th generation

When is the PlayStation 6 coming out? Many fans have been asking the question for some time and thanks to Sony we already know when it could be.

Although the manufacturer’s last generation of consoles was only released about two years ago and their availability is still poor, the question of a new PlayStation is always an exciting topic. After all, a whole seven years passed between the fourth and fifth generation. A brand new clue reveals whether we’ll have to wait that long for the PlayStation 6.

PlayStation 6: We’re still waiting a long time for the next generation

Thanks to the ongoing dispute between Sony and Microsoft, which was sparked a few months ago, more and more exciting details about the projects of both manufacturers are coming to light. This is how we learn about things that have been handled confidentially up to now Documents well, that the PlayStation 6 shouldn’t expect us until 2027 at the earliest.

In the course of a statement to the British market surveillance authority CMA, Sony is talking about a possible release period for the PS6 for the first time. The investigation is actually mainly about how long the Xbox manufacturer Microsoft will continue to make the popular shooter series Call of Duty available on the Sony consoles after the takeover of Activision Blizzard.

The Japanese technology giant fears that the rights to the upcoming Call of Duty games could be lost at the latest when its next generation of consoles is released. A “period until 2027” is spoken of, which suggests that Sony could not come up with the PlayStation 6 until 2028 at the earliest.

So far, however, it has been considered rather unlikely that this specific case will occur as Sony fears. Although PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan initially described Microsoft’s statement as insufficient, Xbox boss Phil Spencer recently confirmed once again that the PlayStation Call of Duty series will be retained.
