Plans for the PS6 already seem to be under way, with Sony having had talks with Intel as far back as 2022, before choosing to go with AMD.
The PlayStation 6 is already well underway Only days after the PS5 Pro was officially announced, rumours suggest that Sony has already settled on the technology for use in the PS6. Given most consoles last for around six years, before they’re superseded, under normal circumstances it would be reasonable to expect the PlayStation 6 to be released around 2026, and for detailed rumours, and perhaps even official hints, to start circulating right about now.
However, potential problems with backwards compatibility, if Sony had switched to Intel technology, was also a factor – not that it would’ve been impossible, but it would’ve been more expensive. It’s not entirely clear where in the process Sony is now but apparently the discussions between Sony and Intel ‘took months in 2022’.
