The next-gen console race is on but it might not be like any of the ones we've seen in the past. Amid Microsoft's multiplatform pivot and re-embrace of PC gaming, the next Xbox and Sony's PlayStation 6 might be more different than we expect. According to the latest batch of reporting and rumors, both new gaming consoles could be out in 2027, but one might be a lot more expensive than the other.
The architect behind Sony's upcoming gaming hardware sat down with AMD's senior VP of computing, Jack Huynh, to discuss how the two companies' joint partnership in advancing GPU tech will make Joel's beard in The Last of Us Part I look even more awe-inducing on next-gen hardware. They talked about Neural Arrays, Radiance Cores, and Universal Compression. No, these aren't Destiny 2 patch notes, they're a roadmap to what will seemingly make gaming on PS6 marginally better than current-gen tech.
