  • The PS6 and the next Xbox console will reportedly be released in 2027
  • Leaker KeplerL2 has claimed that "it's the plan unless any unexpected delays happen" for Sony to release the PS6 in 2027
  • YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead also claims the next Xbox console "is targeting a 2027 launch"

Two new reports have emerged with industry insiders claiming that both the PlayStation 6 and the next Xbox console are targeting a 2027 launch.

The first comes from 'KeplerL2' on NeoGAF, an insider who previously and accurately reported on former AMD hardware, who said that the next PlayStation console will be released in 2027 (via VGC).

The comments follow Sony's new video with AMD, in which Mark Cerny, lead architect of PS5 and PS5 Pro, revealed new technological breakthroughs for Project Amethyst and appeared to tease the PS6.

"Overall, it's of course still very early days for these technologies, they only exist in simulation right now. But the results are quite promising and I'm really excited about bringing them to a future console in a few years' time," Cerny said at the end of the video.

In the NeoGAF thread, users discussed Cerny's comment of "a few years" with some suggesting it could mean 2028, but more likely could be 2027, which KeplerL2 also agreed with.

The insider went further and said that a 2027 launch for the PS6 "is not just on the table, it's the plan unless any unexpected delays happen."
