PlayStation 6 vs PS 5: Launch Date, Price, Design, and Features Compared

Imagine two powerful video game machines from Sony, the PlayStation 5 (PS5) and the upcoming PlayStation 6 (PS6).

The PS5, which came out in 2020, is already really good with amazing graphics and controllers that feel like part of the game.

It has a special computer chip and graphics maker, plus lots of memory and fast storage to load games quickly.

It can even play some older PlayStation games!

The PS6 is expected to be much more powerful, with an even faster computer chip and graphics maker, possibly ten times better.

It might have more memory and an even quicker storage drive.

We might see support for super-sharp 8K games on the PS6.

It's expected to be more expensive than the PS5 and won't be available for a few more years, likely not until the end of 2027.

While the PS5 has a distinctive look, the PS6 might have a slimmer design.

Both consoles need to be a good size to stay cool while playing demanding games.
