That led the way for AMD to apparently win the deal with Sony for the PS6–though keep in mind nothing has been officially announced. Earlier this month, AMD revealed it was skipping flagship GPUs for its next generation, sparking speculation on whether the company may already have plans with Sony and Microsoft for future hardware. AMD currently helps power PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. GameSpot has reached out to Sony for comment.
A redacted document that emerged when Microsoft was attempting to acquire Activision Blizzard in 2022 pointed to PS6 possibly not releasing until 2028 at the earliest.

Meanwhile, Sony just revealed the $700 PS5 Pro, which is scheduled to hit shelves in November. Here’s everything we know about the PS5 Pro.
