PS6 Leaks: PCIe Gen5 SSD, Revolutionary Controller, 2027 Launch
Major PS6 leaks point to significant technology upgrades: PCIe Gen5 SSD delivering double the speed (14,900 MB/s vs PS5's 7,500 MB/s), advanced PSSR 2.0 AI upscaling, and revolutionary SAVANT haptic technology in the controller. Sony is upgrading its cloud streaming infrastructure to Gen5 NVMe storage. The AMD Orion APU is rumored to deliver 34-40 TFLOPS with RTX 5090-level ray tracing. Most experts expect a 2027 launch alongside Microsoft's Project Helix, though Bloomberg reports Sony may delay to 2028-2029 due to the global memory crisis driven by AI demand. Sony is also reportedly working on a PS6 Portable with Canis APU, RDNA5 graphics, up to 48GB RAM, and PS4/PS5 backwards compatibility.
