New consoles used to come out every five years – so where's the PlayStation 6?
Published: 11/12/2025

PlayStation fans may be wondering about the absence of a PlayStation 6 five years after the release of the PS5, but according to PlayStation's business boss Eric Lempel, the company is focusing on maximizing the potential of the PS5. With high-profile games like Marvel's Wolverine and Intergalactic in development, and gamers embracing a variety of game genres, the need for frequent console upgrades has lessened. This strategy contrasts with the fast-paced release cycle of the past and allows Sony to continue leading the home console market despite competition from the Nintendo Switch 2.
