Sony Teases PS6, PS5 ‘Multi-Generational’ Plan

Sony Group held a business segment presentation earlier today, during which the company teased a “multi-generational” plan for PS6 and PS5. PlayStation CEO Hideaki Nishino pledged “new and enhanced” ways for players to play games on both platforms.

PS6 is ‘top of mind’ for Sony but PS5 support will continue long into the future

Nishino acknowledged that there’s a lot of interest surrounding the PS6 already, and while he understandably couldn’t divulge future plans, he did say that the upcoming console is “top of mind” for Sony. However, seeing the high levels of engagement from PS4 players well beyond the launch of PS5, the company intends to disrupt traditional approach to console life cycles.

What this essentially means is that unlike the switch from PS3 to PS4, the current generation validated Sony’s new “multi-generational” approach, and it plans to continue using that strategy going forward.

“We’re still exploring what the future of our platform would look like,” added Sony Interactive Entertainment SVP Lynn Azar. “We’ve reduced traditional cyclicality by establishing a large ecosystem of players across both the PS5 and PS4 generations. And as we continue to drive a multi-generational ecosystem into the future, we’ll provide new ways for players to access the platform and experience our content and services.”

PS6 is expected to launch by 2028 at the latest.
