While it's still too early to talk about next-gen devices, we've come across a new rumor from an unknown source. It claims that the PlayStation 6 has entered the development phase. The latest reports say that Mark Cerny, the designer of Sony devices on the current and last generations, will also lead the design of the next generation.

Over the past few weeks, reliable sources like Insider Gaming have been talking about the PlayStation 6. They've said it's the "big first step" for Sony to work on it more than developing a mid-generation device like the Pro version.

A new source has once again spoken about Sony's next device, citing several logical things that we will mention below. The source is a YouTube channel called Red Gaming Tech. Which confirmed, according to private sources, that Cerny, the PlayStation hardware engineer, will lead and lead the work on the next generation of Sony devices.

Has Sony started developing the PlayStation 6?

The outlet claimed that Mark will be the first engineer to work on three different generations of PlayStation devices. It also said that the PlayStation 5 began development in 2015, two years after the launch of the PlayStation 4.

Now we are in the year 2023, and comparing the development of the PlayStation 5 with the information that the development of the PlayStation 6 has already started in terms of period, we will find it logical, since the current generation has already passed almost two years and is on its way to the third.

The same source also says that the current development phase is not related to the form of the device, but rather to its capabilities and technologies. For example, the company may now start thinking about teaming up with Intel or AMD, or both, to develop the internals of its next device.

Additionally, it is possible that the company is now starting to think about developing some features related to the device's hardware, such as its speed and creating prototypes for its cooling system and testing them. Let's tie these rumors to Insider Gaming and Sony's statement last year, when it said that 2023 will be a big and surprising year.

Many sources are starting to talk about the PS6

More than one source has started talking about Sony's new next-generation device, they are not reliable sources, but the abundance of gossip is what begs the possibility of believing in the matter, after all there is no smoke without fire.

Several users on Twitter have shared rumors that Cerny is leading the design of the next generation of the PlayStation family. User PS6Countdown says in a tweet that Cerny is hard at work on a PlayStation brand that could be the PS6, while saying another user He heard the same thing from a reliable source. As seen below.

Suspicious patent!

Several tech reports have indicated that there is a new patent from Cerny describing a way to accelerate ray tracing on the PS5. Although, a deeper look suggests that this technology could be for the PS6. The exciting news is that there is a well-known Digital Foundry account on Resetera, which claims that this Cerny patent is not based on existing hardware. In other words, it is a next-gen device!

He also found a suspicious description in the patent represented in one sentence, which is “An Intel or NV RT unit that is not available on PS5 or any other console released.” What is contained in this patent, if correct, will likely be destined for PlayStation devices in the future.

Cerny was the lead systems architect for the PS4, PlayStation Vita, and PS5 consoles, so being given a leading and instrumental role in the development and production of the PS6 wouldn't come as a surprise.

The PS6 release date will be sometime after 2027, according to recently leaked Sony documents. We've also received a rumor that The Last of Us 3 will release late in the current generation and will be shared with the next generation of PlayStation devices.

Perhaps all of this data strongly indicates that Sony has already started working on the next generation. But all of them remain under the umbrella of rumors until confirmed by reliable sources.
