PS6 To Release in 2029!

Story Highlight
  • Sony’s FSR 4 update for PS5 Pro will extend the console-gen to 2029.
  • The update will reveal the console’s true potential and drive heaps of sales. 
  • A 2029 release for the PS6 will allow Sony to work on advancements for the next-gen experience with AMD.

With increased hardware costs and minimal advancements, next-gen consoles are said to rely heavily on Machine Learning and AI rather than raw power. As such, Sony has partnered with AMD to work on Project Amethyst, delivering a significant performance upgrade for the PlayStation consoles and AMD GPUs.

Sony is currently rolling out a new FSR 4 update for the PS5 Pro, which will help extend the console’s generation until Project Amethyst makes new advancements. The same update is also said to incentivize gamers to upgrade their hardware to the PS5 Pro.

Why it matters: The PS5 Pro has faced significant criticism from the public for not delivering a substantial hardware upgrade compared to its predecessor. However, the new FSR update will surely reveal the console’s true strengths and make it a worthy purchase.

According to Detective Seeds, Sony engineers plan to extend the current console generation until 2029. This will extend the PS5’s lifecycle by a year, making it longer than past generations

That is, Sony could still release the console in 2028 if executives want to push the release date forward. Still, a 2029 launch is feasible for Sony to maximize the potential of PS6.

Sony and AMD are currently working on Project Amethyst, a technology that is expected to enhance hardware performance through machine learning and AI for AMD GPUs and the PS6.

The PS5 Pro FSR 4 update is also a part of Project Amethyst. This will be a substantial upgrade over the current PSSR and is expected to deliver significant performance improvements.

Insider also expects the GTA to deliver 60 FPS on the PS5 Pro, thanks to FSR 4. As such, more and more gamers will be inclined to purchase the mid-gen refresh.
