Might not be called a PS6 as well.

I remember some people being happy about "no more generations" a while back. I was not thrilled with the idea back then but if they are going to push low-middle class people out of new hardware, I'm okay with a long crossover release time frame. As long as new hardware gives me an upgraded performance, I don't care.

 

[Ebrietas]

No. Generations are done. PS6 will just be another device in the hardware ecosystem. It won't even make sense to label a game as PS5 or PS6 after some point. They will just be PS games with a list of supported consoles.

Also the thread title and poll don't match.

Eventually, but definitely not in the first couple of years.

Intergalactic could probably be a cross-gen launch game for PS6.

 

[Mownoc]

What kind of delusional thinking is taking over here for 50% to say they'll never release a game on ps6 and not ps5 lmao.

Obviously eventually a game will be released that isn't on PS5 anymore. Whether that be 2029 or 2034, it's happening eventually.

 

[ToneyJ]

It's crazy that individual game performance is basically the only thing that could get me to consider PS6 at launch. Like if GTA6 miraculously runs at 60fps near locked on PS6 while being 30fps on PS5, yeah maybe I'll bite. But even then, its probably just prettier GTAV which wasnt even that good.

Wait, I voted based on the thread title, but the poll is completely different. OP are you fucking retarded?

 

[kevboard]

yes, simply to entice people to buy it. not because of any technical reasons.

but I expect the majority of their games to also come to PS5 for at least 4 years into the generation

same lol.. just changed it due to your post

 

[midnightAI]

happens way too often. Dang it. Vote changed.

Same

 

[Russell]

I'm sorry, but what kind of question is this? What would be the point of buying a PS6 if its games are playable on a PS5?

 

[AmuroChan]

Yes, eventually. I always use MLB The Show as the litmus test since that's an annual release. Sony stopped making MLB for PS4 in 2025. So in year 5 of the PS5.

 

[The Fartist]

There'll have to be at least one showpiece title that won't/can't run on PS5, even if they could downscale it. Otherwise, what's the point?

 

[yurinka]

AAA budgets almost double every generation, to the point nowadays those without add-ons (DLC/IAPs/passess...) have to sell at least around 6-8M copies to be profitable. This is already worrying, and if they don't do anything next gen will be even more risky.

This means AAA need more revenue to keep them profitable, so all publisher keep moving to GaaS, multiplatform and crossgen.

For that reason I think next gen the AAA games from all publishers (including Sony) will be crossgen.

Maybe Microsoft is on to something...

Yes, on publishing all their future non-mobile games day one on PS to be profitable.

 

[coffinbirth]

All ten of them.

 

[Sooner]

The poll results are likely inaccurate with the question asked in reverse ways.

But, of course, there will be PS6 only games at sone point.

 

[blacktout]

I voted "no," but do think the cross-gen period will be huge and true PS6 exclusives will probably be limited to a couple first party games a year, at best, until many years into the generation. I can't imagine many 3rd parties taking the gamble.

 

[yogaflame]

Deleted.

 

[Sooner]

Might not be called a PS6 as well.

 

[EDMIX]

Wildly unlikely

Every PS5 game is not on PS4, the same will be for PS6.

You'll have some cross gen games when it makes sense sure, but you will still see the major studios move on to only PS6.
