Sony's next-generation PlayStation 6 may not arrive until 2028 and could cost at least $1,000 at launch, according to a new report from a well-known gaming insider, intensifying questions over how far players will follow the console maker into a more expensive and potentially disc-free future.
The PlayStation 6 might launch in 2027, roughly in line with the seven-year gap between the PS4 and PS5. That expectation is now being challenged by claims from insider Nash Weedle, who has outlined a later window and a punishing price tag, with Sony said to be weighing whether to offset the cost by raising subscription fees and phasing out physical games entirely. None of this has been confirmed by Sony, so for now all details should be taken with a grain of salt.
