No, you are not dreaming. While we are in the middle of summer 2025 and the horizon is rather calm in the sphere of the console market, leaks come upset this calm. Indeed, according to information from Moore’s Law Is Dead Sony is preparing two devices for his future generation. Please note, this information has already been crossed by the past. Note that the source announces a rather logical PlayStation 6, as well as a portable PS! That’s not all, the console seems to be baptized for the moment Project Orion. While his little sister is called Project Canis. Here are some details.
PlayStation 6 – Orion (console de salon)
Here are some details given on the technical part of the machine.
- Zen architecture 6 × 8 CPU cores accompanied by 40 to 48 RDNA 5 calculation units to more than 3 GHz, all engraved in 3 nm.
- Up to three times more graphic performance rastered that the PS5. A power comparable to a RTX 4080 On PC, with much better Ray Tracing (up to 6 to 10x more).
- Targeted consumption at 160 W TBP, against 200–230 W for PlayStation 5.
- Retrocompatibility guaranteed with PS4 and PS5 games.
- Production planned from mid -2027, with a release at the end of 2027 or early 2028 at an estimated price around $ 499.
PS Portable – Canis (machine portable)
The same thing, but this time about a portable machine.
- CPU ZEN 6C × 4 cores, GPU 12 to 20 RDNA 5 CUS rated between 1.6 and 2 GHz, engraved in 3 Nm, TBP limited to 15 W (Steam Deck equivalent).
- Estimated performance at 50 % of those of the PS5, but with improved Ray Tracing. Should surpass rival portable consoles as Steam Deck I’m the Rog Ally x.
- Estimated memory: 16 GB of RAM, hides Mall 16 MB and 4 MB L2, although it has only one third of the bandwidth of the PS5.
- Launch planned at the same time as the PS6, in the second half of 2027 or early 2028, a budget estimated between $ 400 and $ 500.
If all this turns out to be true, the blue giant of gaming is not unemployed!
