While the PS5 continues to record record results for PlayStation, the manufacturer officially evokes the PS6 and what can potentially expect.
In just a few months, the PS5 will officially celebrate its fifth anniversary. Gently but surely, it therefore means that we are already approaching the end of the console’s life cycle, which lasts on average seven or eight years. Inevitably, players then start to question the future of PlayStationwhich was just discussed by its CEO, Hideaki Nishino, during a business meeting organized last week. The opportunity for him to evoke the subject of the PS6, especially under the prism of the cloud.
PlayStation addresses the question of the Cloud on PS6
Indeed, at a time when the Cloud Gaming tends more and more to impose itself in the video game industry, many players wonder if the PS6 could have to invest even more in this technology. After all, the PS5 was well entitled to PlayStation Portalan accessory precisely dedicated to the latter. But for Nishino, this will probably not be the case. And this is mainly due to a reason: “The cloud is progressing well from a technical point of view, […] But in the end, the stability of the network is not under our control ” he deplores.
He then adds: “The Cloud Gaming is increasingly providing an additional option for players to access content, but we believe that the majority of players want to continue playing through a local execution, without depending on the network conditions. And the PS5 as the PS5 PRO validated this thesis ”. In fact, that players with a bad connection reassure themselves: if the PS6 should actually continue to invest in the cloud, this will in no way become a majority positioning for PlayStation. However, given the current evolution of trends, it is rather very promising.
Next-Gen, a priority for Sony
On the other hand, as Nishino said during this exchange, we will have to be a little more patience before knowing more about the next generation of Sony. Because if the PS6 remains “At the center of concerns” From the Japanese manufacturer, it is still far too early to reveal more about it. “We are committed to exploring a new and better way for players to enjoy our content and our services” However, provides the PlayStation boss.
It remains to be seen now what it will give concretely, which may not happen before 2028 at the earliest if we believe the documents revealed during the trial linked to the buyout of Activision-Blizzard by Microsoft. Unless the manufacturer finally decides to surprise us by accompanying its PS6 with a New portable consoleas some rumors have mentioned in recent months. As always, you know the saying: only the future will tell us.
