What if Sony preferred to release the PS6 directly instead of a more powerful PS5 Pro? The new generation of home console could finally arrive sooner than expected. In any case, this is what a new rumor says.
Who will be the next PS5 replacement? Should we expect to see a more powerful PS5 Pro or just a second generation of the PS5? Not everyone seems to agree. Only a few days ago, a rumor claimed that Sony could launch a PS5 Pro as early as April 2023 with liquid cooling. Now a new rumor claims that Sony would focus on the PS6 instead and would launch a second-generation PS5 instead.
If Sony really gives up the supercharged version of the PS5, we could see the PS6 land sooner than expected. Insider Tom Henderson actually says that Sony would rather turn to the new generation. According to his words, the Japanese giant could even stop production of the PlayStation 5 at the end of the year.

A second generation of the PS5 in April, then Sony will focus on the PS6
Tom Henderson said: ” About all the PS5 Pro / PS5 Slim rumors, I don’t think it’s a Pro or a Slim. I understand this is the second generation of the standard PS5 “. Sony could therefore consider release a new PS5 model, then focus on the development of the PS6 which would arrive sooner. Just a few months ago, documents shared by UK regulator Competition Markets Authority suggested a 2027 release for the PS6.
Anyway, the insider even added that Sony would have planned to stop production of the current PS5 at the end of the year. ” The new model will be launched in April and will start selling in September “, did he declare.
If this information is true, the second generation of the PS5 announced in April would allow Sony to optimize its production. There would probably no longer be two models offered for sale as is currently the case with the standard PS5 and the Digital Edition. Instead, Sony would directly offer a new PlayStation 5 with a removable disk drive which would be sold as an accessory. After this new model of the PS5, Sony would focus entirely on the development of the PS6.
