- Sony is reportedly planning a traditional PS6 console and a PS Handheld for the next-gen.
- The company is informing devs that it is already preparing to transition towards next-gen.
- The recent PS5 Power Saving mode was a preparation to scale games on the handheld.
Next-gen consoles are reportedly being prepared for a launch in late 2027 or 2028 despite the ongoing memory crisis. Amid this, new reports and rumors have been circulating as to what we can expect from the next generations of hardware.
A new report even suggests that Sony has already started informing developers that it is preparing for the next-gen transition with the PS6 and the upcoming PS handheld. They are planning to make games more scalable for different devices.
Why it matters: Because of the slow start to current-gen, and the ongoing memory crisis, many expected that next-gen would be delayed; however, it seems that companies are already going full steam ahead.
Hardware leaker, Moore’s Law is Dead, revealed Sony is already planning a major transition towards the PS6 and its handheld devices. The power-saving mode introduced with the PS5 was already a step towards scaling games for handheld.
Sony also reportedly introduced PlayGo with the latest PS5 SDK update, which works like Smart Delivery. It essentially allows you to play a game, while the remainder downloads in the background for faster access.
Additionally, the leaker also revealed that Sony is winding down PS4 support and sunsetting the system to focus more on PS6 and PS Handheld, the latter of which is expected to be more powerful than the Series S.
