In a recent announcement, Sony has confirmed that they will be releasing their newest gaming console, the PlayStation 6 or PS6, in the near future. While exact details are still unclear, leaked confidential documents have indicated that the release date could potentially be in 2027.
This news comes after the successful launch of the PlayStation 5, or PS5, in 2020. However, due to logistical challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, the console’s stock was limited, making it difficult for gamers to get their hands on one. Now, with the PS6 on the horizon, gamers are eagerly anticipating the new features and capabilities it will bring.
The leaked documents, which were made available to the public for the British Competition Market Authority’s investigation into Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, also shed light on the ongoing competition between Sony and Microsoft.
With the acquisition of game studios and publishers, exclusive titles are becoming increasingly important, and Sony could potentially lose access to the entire Call of Duty franchise if they do not stay competitive.
As for the release date of the PS6, it is still uncertain. However, many are speculating that it could follow a similar timeline to the previous generation, with a gap of around seven years between the PS5 and the PS4. This would mean that the PS6 could potentially be released in 2026 or 2027.
