PS6 Leak Teases 4K 120FPS, Ray Tracing & a Lower Price Than PS5 Pro

New PS6 leaks suggest powerful performance and a surprising price cut compared to the PS5 Pro. Here’s everything we know so far.

The next-generation PlayStation might arrive sooner than expected — and it could be more affordable, more efficient, and much more powerful than the current-gen Pro console. A recent leak from the well-known YouTube channel Moore’s Law Is Dead has revealed potential specs and details about Sony’s upcoming PS6 and a new handheld device codenamed Canis.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

PS6 could launch at a lower price than the $700 PS5 Pro
Targeting 4K gaming at 120FPS with ray tracing
Sony may also launch a powerful handheld device
Expected release: Late 2027 or Early 2028

PS6 Codename: Orion – What’s Inside?

According to the leak, the PS6 (codenamed Orion) is being built with mass-market appeal in mind — similar to the strategy behind the PlayStation 4. Sony is reportedly aiming to reduce power consumption while keeping performance high.

Here are the leaked specs from AMD’s internal documents (from 2023):

✅ 8x Zen 6 (or newer) CPU cores
✅ 40–48+ RDNA 5 Compute Units running at 3GHz+
✅ 160W total board power
✅ GDDR7 memory (160-bit or 192-bit bus at 32GT/s)
✅ 3x the rasterization performance of the PS5
✅ Enhanced ray tracing capabilities
✅ Chiplet-based design with Navi 5 desktop chiplets
✅ Full backwards compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games

In simple terms, the PS6 aims to deliver high-end performance — including native 4K at 120FPS — without being too expensive or power-hungry.

Meet the Handheld: PlayStation Canis

Alongside the PS6, Sony is rumored to be working on a new handheld device — codenamed Canis. While it won’t be a “powerhouse” like the main console, it’s expected to outperform current handhelds like the ROG Ally X.

Canis Handheld Leaked Specs:

🔹 4x Zen 6c cores
🔹 12–20 RDNA 5 Compute Units @ 1.6–2GHz
🔹 15W power usage
🔹 128-bit LPDDR5X-7500+ memory
🔹 Roughly 50% of the PS5’s graphics performance
🔹 MicroSD + M.2 SSD storage support
🔹 Touchscreen, dual mics, USB-C port
🔹 Haptic feedback for immersive gameplay
🔹 Backwards compatible with PS5 and PS4

The Canis is shaping up to be a flexible gaming device, perfect for remote play or gaming on the go, while still delivering console-quality performance.

When Can We Expect the PS6 and Canis?

The leak suggests Sony could be eyeing a Mid-Fall 2027 or Early 2028 release window for both devices. This aligns with the typical console lifecycle and would give enough time for developers to harness the full power of PS5 and PS5 Pro.

Final Thoughts

While these leaks haven’t been officially confirmed by Sony, they’re definitely exciting. A lower-priced PS6 with 4K 120FPS capabilities and ray tracing? That’s a win for gamers everywhere. Plus, a new handheld could be the perfect companion for players who love mobility without sacrificing power.

As always, take leaks with a grain of salt — but if these specs hold true, the PlayStation 6 could be the most balanced and powerful console Sony has ever made.
