When will the PlayStation 6 come out?

Sony is already thinking about the PlayStation 6, even though the PlayStation 5 is still doing great. The company recently said the PS6 is a big focus for them, which gives us some clues about when it might hit stores. Looking at Sony’s past, it’s not hard to guess a possible release date. Since the PlayStation 3, Sony has always launched new consoles in November, just in time for holiday shopping.

This includes the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and their Pro versions. The PS6 will likely follow this pattern. Reports suggest it could arrive in late 2027, seven years after the PS5’s 2020 debut. This matches Sony’s habit of releasing consoles every seven years since the PS3. The PS5 Pro came out in 2024, four years after the PS5. Sony usually waits three years after a Pro model to launch a new console, so 2027 makes sense.

Also, rumors say the next Xbox might launch around the same time, and Sony often competes closely with Microsoft. While nothing is confirmed, Sony’s history points to November 2027 as a likely date. For now, these are just guesses based on patterns. Sony hasn’t shared official details, so gamers should wait for solid news. Still, the idea of a PS6 in 2027 is exciting to think about.
