PlayStation 6 reportedly being pushed to 2028 or 2029

A new report by Bloomberg suggests that Sony is considering pushing the launch window for its next PlayStation console to 2028, with 2029 also on the table. To be clear, Sony hasn’t announced PlayStation 6, and there’s no official date or platform plan attached to the report.

The reasoning that’s being reported is related to higher demand for chips and memory, plus rising RAM costs that are making it impossible to calculate costs or availability of the components this early. If the decisions the report touches upon come to pass, it will be the first time in ages that Sony steps away from its seven-year console generation cycle.
