PS6: Rumors about RAM Reduction Disproven, Plans Remain Unchanged Despite Crisis

The rumors about the future PS6 continue to circulate online. Due to the memory crisis, the Japanese company has confirmed that it cannot yet define the launch timelines and price of the new generation console.

In the meantime, a leak from a few days ago suggested a possible downgrading of the PS6, which could arrive with less RAM than initially anticipated, in order to cut component costs as much as possible. This speculation was disproven by another insider, Moore's Law is Dead, who clarified what Sony's plans for the future of its console will be, which is set to play a significant role in the market.

No Downscaling

Recent information has previewed Sony's plans: the PS6 will not be downscaled in terms of available RAM. The console is expected to have 30-32 GB of RAM. The idea of switching to 24 GB would not be feasible and would represent too significant a step backward, as noted by the source.

However, the threshold of 24 GB will remain a reference for the Japanese company since the PS6 Handheld is expected to feature this amount of memory. For now, there is still no official information on the matter, and we will have to wait for the coming weeks to learn more.

According to the source, Sony still aims to launch the PS6 sometime in 2027. However, the memory crisis poses a considerable obstacle. As we have seen in recent months, the ongoing crisis could prompt Sony to alter its plans and delay the launch.
