A new PlayStation 6 leak has confirmed the average FPS we should expect, and it sounds like it’s going to be beastly.
We’re probably still a few years away from officially hearing about the PS6, but leaks and reports are already coming in hot.
We’ve already seen what some games could potentially look like on the PS6, but in terms of actual hardware specs, we’ve got little to go on at the minute.
However, a new report from Moore’s Law Is Dead suggests that the PS6 could have a “ten times performance leap” compared to the PS5, and we also may now know what the average framerate will be.

Around the 55 minute mark MLID, speaking to AMD’s James Prior, discussed the hardware potential of the PS6. He alleges that it could be a “4K 120FPS console with advanced ray tracing and AI upscaling”, which would seem like a “convincing product” if sold at a reasonable price.
However, they also say that this could mean the console would be priced rather high, potentially even going up to $900, but could go as low as “$500 to $600”, with a cheaper product aimed at around “$299”.
Because, as he rightly says in the video, “a lot of people still have 1080p TVs too, like this is for that. If they could give you a next-gen experience for $299 while there's this other one for $599, I think that would be greatly appreciated by households.”
It’s no secret that gaming hardware has been getting pretty expensive in the last few years, so offering multiple price entry points for new consoles seems to be an attractive option for developers.
Microsoft introduced the Xbox Series X and Series S, which were priced at $499 and $299 respectively, as a way of releasing its next-gen consoles at a cheaper price point for those who didn’t want to drop half a grand on the new Xbox console.
And Sony did something similar with the PS5, offering an all-digital version of the console for about $100 cheaper.
It definitely sounds like this will be the plan for the next-generation too, for those players who aren’t fussed about getting 4K120FPS for their games.
