SonyA new PlayStation 6 leak reveals more details about the next-gen console alongside a potential portable version.
The PlayStation 5 launched back in November 2020 and almost immediately skyrocketed in popularity with fans of the PS4.
Sony revamped the PS5 with the PS5 Pro back in 2024, giving it more power and a new, smaller design in the process, but it’s left fans wondering when the next-generation console will arrive.
A new leak on Tuesday, April 15, revealed some more details about the PlayStation 6 as well as a potential portable version of the console.
New PS6 leak reveals possible portable console
“The PlayStation 6 console generation will include a standard console and a portable one, according to leaks,” said a post from notable leaker ShiinaBR.
Apparently, the PS6 will release in Late 2027 or early 2028 and will be accompanied by a portable version of the regular console. However, it will likely launch after the main version and be “less powerful than a PS6.”
It’s unknown what will power the alleged PS6 portable console, but if it’s less powerful than a PS5, it’s safe to say it’ll be around the same power as the Steam Deck.
PlayStation launched the Portal handheld back in 2023 as a way to remote play games from customers’ existing PS5, but in an update a year later, added the ability to play from the cloud straight from the device.
Since then, fans have been eagerly waiting for Sony to release a portable console with some reports even showing that a potential PSP 2 is in development by the company.
We’ll have to wait to see what the company has in store for portable gamers, but with the rise of handhelds like the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and Nintendo Switch 2, it’s safe to say customers are dying for a new full-fledged Sony handheld.
