While gamers’ attention is focused on Sony’s plans for its exclusive titles and current strategies, exciting leaks have surfaced suggesting that the company is quietly working on its next-generation hardware, with the PlayStation 6 and a portable version expected to be unveiled sometime between 2027 and 2028.
According to Moore’s Law is Dead, a relatively reliable tech source, Sony is currently working on two new devices:
