Sony could release its new PlayStation 6 console in 2028 or even 2029, according to the latest industry reports. While it was previously expected that the successor to the PlayStation 5 would arrive around 2027, the global shortage of memory chips and rising prices of key components are putting pressure on Sony's plans.
According to sources close to the company, Sony is considering delaying the release of the PlayStation 6 console until 2028 or 2029, in order to avoid excessively high production costs and ensure a quality offering for gamers worldwide. This potential shift would significantly extend the usual release cycle of PlayStation consoles, which has so far been around six to seven years between generations.
Sony has not officially confirmed the new date forecast, but the news has sparked interest among the gamer community and analysts. If the delay occurs, the PlayStation 5 generation will be one of the longest-lasting in console history.
