In November 2020, the PS5 entered our lives, and now it’s preparing to enter the final phase of its ecosystem with the upcoming PS5 Pro. Industry insiders suggest that with the release of the PS6, we could witness the best-selling console of all time. So, how might this happen?

PS6 Will Stand Out with Machine Learning

While the exact naming of the next generation of devices might still be a surprise, it’s highly likely that Sony and Microsoft’s new generation consoles will be called PlayStation 6 and Xbox Next. These could be the final physical consoles, and they might usher in the best-selling console generation ever.

According to Wccftech, the not-yet-officially-announced PlayStation 6 and next-gen Xbox consoles are set to make a significant leap in the gaming world thanks to machine learning technology.

Experts like Digital Foundry suggest that machine learning will play a crucial role in this leap. Technologies based on machine learning, such as NVIDIA DLSS in PC gaming, are already in use, and the PlayStation 5 Pro will introduce features like PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution. It’s expected that these features will usher in the golden age of consoles.

Machine learning is currently used in consoles for noise reduction and ray tracing. However, experts believe its potential is much greater. For example, it could be used to enhance material and texture quality in games or even improve geometry in the game world. This could enable PlayStation 6 and Xbox Next to offer a true 4K resolution and 60 FPS gaming experience, which current-gen consoles cannot achieve.

With the impact of machine learning on the gaming world, the importance of mid-generation updates like the PlayStation 5 Pro will also increase. The Spectral Super Resolution technology used in the PS5 Pro aims to achieve targets such as 4K 120 FPS and even 8K 60 FPS. This technology will allow gamers to experience smoother and higher-resolution gameplay.
