Sony’s next-generation PlayStation is back in the headlines after a new round of leaks, reportedly drawn from a 2023 AMD presentation and circulated by hardware commentator “Moore’s Law Is Dead.” The documents outline a console codenamed “Orion,” widely assumed to be the PlayStation 6, that would move to AMD’s forthcoming RDNA 5 graphics architecture and deliver up to triple the rendering performance of the original PS5 while drawing less power. The slides peg the machine’s memory bandwidth at roughly 640–768 GB/s and say overall graphics performance should rival Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4080. Despite the higher specifications, Sony is said to be targeting a US launch price of about $499—matching the PS5’s 2020 debut—and retaining backward compatibility with PS4 and PS5 software. Production is rumoured to begin in mid-2027, with commercial release slated for late 2027 or early 2028. The same leak also points to an all-new handheld companion device featuring local rendering, haptics and expandable storage, potentially priced in the $400–500 range. Sony has not commented on the reports, and industry analysts caution that specifications and timelines could change before any formal announcement.
