PS6 could be coming sooner than you think, but where does it leave PS5?
a new way to deliver accelerated ray tracing on PS5 via a bespoke 'ray tracing unit'. But digging deeper and neither Nvidia or Sony's traditional tech partner, AMD, has such a unit in development. This would suggest this improved tech is not actually for PS5 Pro but instead it's for PS6.
This plays into speculation from well-placed leaker Tom Henderson, who prefers to interpret Cerny's role as leading the creation of PS6 rather than PS5 Pro. He took to Twitter to suggest a PS5 Pro could actually be a '2nd Gen' PS5, due to expensive and hard to source components. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will release only on PS5 in this Autumn / Fall. Does this mean a PS5 console update is coming too?
I'd suggest the truth is somewhere in the middle of all this rumour mill muddle; I'd wager a PS5 'upgrade' made from easier to source components and possibly a boost in performance will happen early this year, perhaps as soon as summer to fit with the launch of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 a little later, with a new PS5 Pro launching next year .
Any time Mark Cerny pops onto Twitter is going to grab headlines and speculation around the future of PlayStation, even if it's from other people talking about him. It does look like Cerny is heading up PS6 development, and that's a good thing. It means a consistency of thought across three generations of hardware ensuring everything from UI and UX to design will feel like iterations on a theme.
