The PlayStation 6 is a much-talked-about machine despite lacking an official announcement from Sony, and a report by an industry analyst suggests that we might not see this new console until after 2028, as Sony is looking to extend the PS5’s lifespan.
A Japanese-language report from MST International senior analyst David Gibson (per IGN) looked into Sony’s overall performance and potential future. According to Gibson, “Sony expects the PS5 lifecycle to be longer than that of previous console generations” and that there is a “high likelihood that the PS6 launch will occur after 2028.”
Recent console cycles have lasted around seven years, with the PS3 launching in 2006 before the PS4’s release in 2013; the latter then had the limelight until the PS5 launched near the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This pattern led to assumptions and predictions that a PS6 would come to markets in 2027, but Gibson believes there are a few reasons not to expect it so soon.
