What will come after the highly anticipated PS5 Pro? According to an insider, Sony's next generation plans may involve not just one, but two separate consoles. And, if the rumor is true, one of them may even be a handheld device.
Although Sony just announced the PS5 Pro this month, the company's plans for the future have already been a hot topic of discussion. Just this week, PlayStation co-CEO Hideaki Nishino spoke about the upcoming PlayStation 6 and mentioned that there is still room for improvement beyond just graphics. Additionally, there have been reports that Sony has already partnered with AMD to develop the technology for the next console.
Now, there is a new rumor circulating that the PlayStation 6 may come in two different models, although the details are still unclear. Insider Kepler, who has a track record of leaking accurate information about the PS5 Pro, claims that Sony is working on two separate "SoCs" (system on a chip) for the next generation. This implies that there may be two different consoles when it is finally released.
It's not clear if the two models will have minor differences in power, similar to the Xbox Series X and Series S, or if they will be completely different devices such as a home console and a handheld. However, Kepler speculates that at least one of the models will be more affordable.
The question on everyone's mind is whether or not Sony is planning to release a new handheld console. Earlier this year, there were rumors that Sony was closely monitoring the success of the PlayStation Portal, a console accessory for the PS5. This was in response to the success of the Nintendo Switch and the newly announced Steam Deck. Sony has not released a dedicated handheld device since the PS Vita in 2011, which unfortunately did not perform well in the market.
With Xbox also rumored to be making a move into the handheld market, it would make sense for Sony to do the same. As of now, there has been no official announcement from Sony about the release date of the PlayStation 6, but rumors suggest it may arrive as early as 2026. This is also the same year that Microsoft is planning to launch their next Xbox, as they try to catch up in the console race.
In the meantime, fans can look forward to the launch of the PS5 Pro on November 7, with a special 30th anniversary version coming later this year. And, for those who prefer a more classic look, the grey version of the console has been receiving positive feedback.
