- Both the PS6 and next-gen Xbox are slated for a release in 2027.
- They’ll be powered by AMD’s AI-based UDNA architecture from the previous RDNA.
- Xbox could launch in 2026 based on rumors and first-party games releasing next year.
While the current console generation is quite far from over, considering the small number of games we have, news about the next-gen consoles has already started surfacing online. This time, we have information on both the competitors.
It is claimed that both the PS6 and next-gen Xbox are supposed to launch in 2027, and will feature AMD’s AI-based UDNA architecture, which will be an upgrade over the current RDNA-based graphics.
Why it matters: 2027 will mark 7 years since the release of PS5 and Xbox Series, which will put it just in line with the time frame of the last-gen consoles.
According to Kepler, a well-known leaker, PS6 and the next-gen Xbox will launch with AMD UDNA graphics. It’ll feature a 20% jump in performance over RDNA4 in raster and twice the increase in ray tracing abilities.
Like the current generation, the consoles won’t have any 3D cache. This would be upsetting for the fans, as there were rumors of it. However, based on this, it doesn’t seem like the next-gen consoles will receive too big of a power boost.
Nonetheless, as upscaling has become a central part of gaming, we can expect that from the consoles. The PS5 Pro already features PSSR, which hasn’t really shown results that Sony would have expected.
However, we can expect it to get better over time. For now, the release slate for PS6 is 2027, while for next-gen Xbox, it could be moved to 2026, considering most of the companies’ heavy-hitters release next year.
