Despite the release of the PlayStation 5 Pro, the sheer power of next-generation graphics cards has widened the gap between consoles and PCs. This has led console gamers to anticipate the next-generation consoles. A significant claim that could fuel this anticipation came from the YouTube channel Moore’s Law is Dead, known for its reliable leaks. Moore’s Law is Dead made statements about the PlayStation 6 price.

How much will the PlayStation 6 cost?

According to insider information the channel claims to have obtained, Sony has largely outlined its roadmap for the PlayStation 6. Production of the next-generation console will reportedly begin in mid-2027. The launch and release date is expected to be between the last quarter of 2027 and the first quarter of 2028. This date appears to be in line with industry standards, considering that console generations typically have a lifespan of 7-8 years.

The most striking detail of the leak is that Sony isn’t solely focused on the main console. The company is reportedly working on a new PlayStation handheld console, which will be released simultaneously with the PS6. This move suggests Sony is looking to re-engage in the portable gaming market with renewed vigor.

The leaks aren’t limited to the date; they’ve also shed light on one of the most anticipated topics: its price tag.

The PlayStation 6 is expected to retail for between $500 and $600. This price range, which is quite competitive for “Pro”-level hardware, has already been well-received by gamers.

The portable, which aims to compete directly with Nintendo’s next-generation console, is expected to cost between $400 and $500.
