YouTuber Moore’s Law Is Dead has revealed in a recent video that he has obtained a document that confirms the manufacturing of the PS6 will begin around the middle of 2027.
According to the video, not only is Sony planning on kicking off production for its next-generation system in mid-2027, but this has been in the pipeline for about two years now. Moore’s Law Is Dead was discussing the recent video with Mark Cerny where he touched on Project Amethyst with AMD, specifically in regard to implementing new features in a future console ‘in a few years time.’
I literally have a document when they’re manufacturing these, and it’s in the middle to early of 2027, and that’s exactly when they manufacturer the PS6.

Last week it was revealed by reliable insider KeplerL2 that the PS6 is set to launch in 2027, although right now there’s no official word from Sony and the console could quite easily slip into 2028.
Among the details revealed during the Sony video on Project Amethyst include a hew technique known as Universal Compression, which is set to hugely free up processing bandwidth on the GPU. Meanwhile, Moore’s Law Is Dead has previously provided a number of details on the PS6’s rumoured specs, including claims that its ray-tracing performance supposedly being the equivalent of the RTX 5090.
The console is also reportedly set to arrive alongside a handheld companion, which is claimed to be more powerful than the Xbox Ally X and Nintendo Switch 2.
