A new leak says that the PS6 will work with games from the PS4 and PS5.
One of the most exciting things about the upcoming PlayStation 6 has been revealed by a new leak: it will work with games from the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
If this is true, players will be able to access a library of thousands of games from the start without having to buy them again.
The well-known content creator "Moore's Law Is Dead" shared information about an alleged internal AMD presentation. These papers clearly say that the RDNA 5 architecture is backward compatible, which supports the idea that Sony wants to make sure that games work on all generations.
The leak also mentions a new device called "Canis," which is a handheld gaming device that will be part of the PlayStation 6 ecosystem. This device isn't a separate product; it will use the same technologies and game library as the main console, so people can play the same games in different ways.
The new generation will focus on technical improvements that use AI, like Super Resolution technology to make images clearer and better ways to use less energy.
Another notable aspect is the manufacturing cost. According to leaks, the main chip in the portable version will cost around $46.80, significantly less than the $80 cost of the PS5 chip even after modifications. Nevertheless, this portable model is expected to outperform the current generation, indicating a significant leap in efficiency.
Furthermore, support for ray tracing with compatibility was mentioned, allowing for visual enhancements to current games. All indications suggest that the RDNA 5 architecture will be crucial in achieving this balance between performance, power consumption, and compatibility.
Although this information is currently unofficial, it fits with Sony’s recent strategy of facilitating the transition between generations.
