As an online game platform, PlayStation released a total of five series — PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, and PS5 from December 1994 to November 2020. Now the PlayStation 6 release date has become a concern for Sony lovers. Now, this post provides more information about PS6.

PS6 Release Date
First, when will the PS6 come out? I believe this is a question that most players care about. Actually, Sony releases a new PlayStation every few years. A Sony executive said “Indeed, in the past, the cycle for a new platform was 7 to 10 years, but in view of the very rapid development and evolution of technology, it’s really a six to seven year platform cycle.”
Thus, when is the PS6 coming out? we can speculate when the company can theoretically release the PS6 by looking at the release date of Sony’s previous PlayStation console.
The development of PS4 began in 2008 and was released five years later. The development of PS5 started in 2015 and was released five years later. Sony’s 2021 proposal to develop new game consoles and the PS5 has been launched in November 2020, therefore, the PS6 release date may be 2026 or 2027.
PS6 Price
Now we don’t know the exact type of improvements, hardware, extra features, or specifications Sony will add to the PS6, thus it’s hard to predict the exact price of ps6. These factors may the price of PS6 to rise.
Since the prices of several game consoles recently launched by Sony are almost all between $400 and $500, so it can be assumed that the PS6 price is at least $600. Besides, the price of the PlayStation 6 will almost certainly be high at first. PS6 price may be lowered after this period according to the needs of gamers.
PS6 Expected Features
The following are the expected features of PlayStation 6.
New User Interface: The UI (user interface) of the PS5 has many flaws. Sony is most likely to update the PlayStation 6 with a new, fresh, and easily accessible version of the technology to enhance its user interface and provide users with better navigation options.
Smaller Console: Due to the large size of the latest PlayStation 5, it is often difficult to adjust in the living room of gamers. It is expected that Sony will launch a smaller version of the next-generation PlayStation 6 console with a slimmer design that can easily be used with other items around it.
Built-in Wireless: SONY should have a wireless charging pad built into the top of the PS6. This will allow you to place a controller on top of the console to charge when you are not playing games-you can even extend wireless charging technology to headsets, media remotes, and any other peripherals.
Storage Improvements: Any game machine must have enough space to meet the user’s storage space requirements. PS5 only accepts compatible NVMe SSD. We hope that Sony will be able to expand the internal storage more easily-perhaps using a method similar to the expandable memory card of the Xbox Series X.
Modular Upgrades: Breaking down the PlayStation into smaller parts means that each part can be replaced with newer ones when an upgrade is needed or needed.
Integrated Virtual Reality (VR): Recently, virtual reality or VR has become a popular feature in the gaming world. Gamers can use a separate device to connect to their existing TV or PC and game console to experience VR games.
