Rumors about the PlayStation 6 launching as early as 2026 have sparked frustration among gamers, with many urging Sony to slow down. The PlayStation 5, released in 2020, is still gaining traction, and players feel it has not yet reached its full potential.
The PlayStation 4 had a lifespan of over seven years before the PS5 arrived, allowing plenty of time for game development and innovation. However, with the PS5 just recently getting its mid-generation upgrade—the PS5 Pro in November 2024—many believe a PS6 release would be premature.
Discussions on gaming forums, including r/playstation, highlight this concern. Some users argue that longer console generations are necessary, especially as modern game development takes more time. One user pointed out that major sequels, like a follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima, might not even arrive before the PS6 launches.
Another major issue is the PS5’s difficult start. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain problems, getting a PS5 was nearly impossible for years. Many players only recently got their hands on the console, making a quick move to the next generation feel unfair.
Sony has yet to officially confirm the PlayStation 6, so for now, fans can only hope the PS5 remains the focus for years to come.
