PlayStation 6 release date update is music to our ears

Thank goodness for that

Good news everyone; while the PlayStation 6 is on the way, it’s not set to arrive for a few years, so you can cease worrying about saving up in a hurry.

The PlayStation 5 era is an interesting one.

I have to say, I think it may be my personal favourite console of all-time, but I do agree that it’s somewhat lacking in games.

I don’t agree with the internet’s ongoing joke that the PlayStation 5 has “no games”, but I find it hard to believe that Naughty Dog, for example, hasn’t released a new title when the PS4 era brought us Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, and The Last of Us Part II.

There’s just so much life left in the hardware’s capabilities too.

Many have recently remarked at just how much Death Stranding 2: On The Beach looks like a next-gen title.

If this is what the PS5 is capable of, why move on?

That seems to be the mentality of PlayStation, and I’m incredibly glad to hear it.

In a new interview with Tom’s Guide, lead PlayStation console architect Mark Cerny explained that upgrades on the company’s graphics technology is “moving extremely quickly” albeit with plenty of years of work left to be done.

"What I'm trying to do is prepare for the next generation of consoles, so my time-frame is multi-year here," he said.

Cerny added that it’s actually the the PS5 family of consoles that remains a primary focus, with a major update for the PS5 Pro’s PSSR upscaling technology due to drop in 2026.

Well, technically, it appears to be a replacement more so than an upgrade.

That should offer a major graphics boost for those on the latest premium line of Sony consoles.

Information on the PlayStation 6 is understandably thin in the ground; most of Cerny’s comments concern the tech more generally amidst Sony’s ongoing partnership with AMD rather than the console itself.

The reference to a “multi-year plan” though implies that the PlayStation 6 is at least a couple of years away.

There’s no need for us to expect a launch in 2026 and likely not 2027 either.

This has delighted fans who aren’t ready to move on.

“Good, PS5 has at least 3.5 years left,” replied mrpyo1.

“Prefer they wait, still feels too soon,” added battlecourt.

Now if we could just have a slightly increased output of games please?
