Sony Interactive Entertainment has confirmed that the PlayStation 6 is now a primary focus for the company. CEO Hideaki Nishino stated that the future of the platform is "top of mind" and emphasized the company's commitment to exploring new and enhanced ways for players to engage with games and services. While specific details about the PS6 remain undisclosed, Sony executives have indicated that the next-generation console is actively in development. The company also highlighted that cloud streaming will continue to play a secondary role compared to local gameplay, reflecting the preferences of the PlayStation user base to play without heavy reliance on network conditions. Reports suggest that Sony plans to launch the PlayStation 6 as early as late 2027. This development comes as the PlayStation 5 approaches its fifth anniversary, underscoring Sony's intent to maintain its position in the console market and cater to its large ecosystem of players from the PS4 and PS5 generations.
