Specifications may include new AMD architecture
Leaks indicate that the PS6 may feature a graphics processor based on AMD's Gfx13 architecture, known as UDNA. This technology combines elements of the RDNA architecture, designed for gaming graphics, and CDNA, used in high-performance computing. If confirmed, the promise is greater efficiency and advanced graphics performance.
AMD is expected to officially launch UDNA between 2026 and 2027, making it a strong candidate for Sony's new console. However, the company has not yet made any announcements about the partnership for the next-generation PlayStation.
Possible competition with new Xbox
If Sony follows its historical pattern, it will launch the PS6 seven years after the PS5, maintaining the traditional console life cycle. Leaked documents also suggest that Microsoft plans to launch its next Xbox in 2026, which could spark a new dispute between the industry giants.
Despite these predictions, Sony hasn't released details about the PS6's timeline. Thus, the rumors circulated so far remain unconfirmed.
Backward compatibility is still uncertain on PlayStation 6
Another rumor suggests that the PS6 may maintain backward compatibility with PS5 games, a feature valued by gamers. However, the company has not yet confirmed whether it will retain this functionality.
With no official announcements, information about the PlayStation 6 remains based on leaks and market predictions. Until Sony makes a statement, the console's release date and specifications remain the subject of speculation.
