Although it feels like the PlayStation 5 was only recently launched, Sony is already making plans for its next-generation console. While its official name has not yet been confirmed, we will refer to it as the PlayStation 6 (PS6) for now.
A document submitted by Sony to the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in response to Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard reportedly references Sony’s next-generation console.
Although the expected release date has been redacted in several sections of the document, other details provide enough context to paint a fairly clear picture of Sony’s potential timeline for its next gaming system.
Of course, many things could change between now and then. The PlayStation 5, for example, was difficult to find for quite some time due to the global semiconductor shortage, which significantly affected console production and availability.
Sony may also decide to extend the current console generation a little longer to maximize PlayStation 5 sales before introducing its next-generation successor.
For now, gamers will have to wait for an official announcement from Sony regarding the PS6 release date and its next-generation gaming plans.
