woooot Wifi 6 ... is definitely needed for nextgen

 

[onQ123]

I said this awhile ago but they locked my thread

Yes another I/O thread but not about the SSD: Next Gen Consoles will have amazing 2 way communication with outside devices

Mod edit: At best this was speculative, at worst plain misinformation. Provide a table of sources and features specific to each point you claim please. USB ports with over a GB/s , Wifi 6 (Also over a GB/s) , Bluetooth LE VR that would only need one cable if it use USB-C , Controllers...

Xbox isn't WiFi 6 is it?

 

[Apollo Helios]

I said this awhile ago but they locked my thread

There are official licenses now it is not a speculation anymore.

 

[Tripolygon]

Yes please. Sony futureproofing PS5.

USB C
Wifi 6
BT 5.1

 

[Kazekage1981]

xbox series x does not have wifi 6, not sure about bluetooth 5.1

This is great news for ps5! I was stressing the importance of it in next gen thread. Glad its confirmed!

 

[Germuso]

No wifi 6e so no vr wireless.
: (

 

[sircaw]

This surely is an oversight from Xbox.

Would they not want that especially for Gamepass, as a standard.

Microsoft are very well known for their excellent services, i find this strange, is it a money thing? it can't be can it

 

[Kazekage1981]

Yes please. Sony futureproofing PS5.

USB C
Wifi 6
BT 5.1

wish it had usb 4.0

:/

 

[MasterCornholio]

Wi-Fi 6, explained: how fast it really is

The next generation brings more than just faster speeds.

Didn't know what Wifi 6 was so I read through this article. Seems pretty important to have especially since we have so many Wifi devices in homes.

And the updated bluetooth is a no brainier.

[GamerEDM]

bluetooth 5.1, Does this mean i can use my apple airpods pro?

 

[Aceofspades]

Great news, Wifi6 is major improvement.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

Sony must have had sufficient budget left over to get these features. MS probably didn't. I expect these systems to be the same price

 

[MasterCornholio]

Edit: NVM I just saw you changed the video.

 

[Cyborg]

How much will this thing cost! Latest tech everywhere. €399 seems a dream.

 

[Birdo]

I don't know what any of that means.

Will it give me cancer?

 

[FranXico]

bluetooth 5.1, Does this mean i can use my apple airpods pro?

Hardware is capable, but the the PS4 is infamous for restricting BT connectivity.

 

[Kazekage1981]

Wrong topic?

i edited/fixed it

They will just release a new model in 2021 or 2022 with the newer hardware.

Also xsx doesn't have USB type c port on the console

yer but that kinda sucks for the people that bought new at the start. i get what you mean.

Xbox is using Wifi5

Well that's unfortunate.

 

[Tripolygon]

 

[sircaw]

like for charging my phone? shut up ewe.

Really?>

 

[truth411]

Ok, does this effectively mean we are close to that PS5 teardown we were told about?

Edit: was also hoping for Wifi ay. Does this mean no wireless PSVR2?

 

[Chronos24]

If they improve their actual network for more stable and fast downloads I'll be very happy. Definitely looks like they're at least putting the tech in the machines.

 

[Agnostic2020]

bluetooth 5.1, Does this mean i can use my apple airpods pro?

Most probably yes.

 

[Agnostic2020]

Well ofcourse . We have seen the console from and back. It has USB typeA port only

 

[sircaw]

WTF, i need to go look now, not that i don't trust you but WTF

Ps4 and ps4 pro tear downs were few weeks before launch by sony .not few months . Lets see if they do the same for ps5

 

[TwistedSyn]

Sony are definitely future proofing the PS5. I didn't think they would do Wifi6. Color me surprised.

 

[hard_boiled]

Epic! Very excited! I hope they are shipped out before the end of the year!

 

[AlexxKidd]

This is futureproofing. Very few people are rocking WiFi 6 routers I would imagine. It's a smart move though, shows they care about the build beyond the flops.

 

[onQ123]

like for charging my phone? shut up ewe.

Really?>

USB-C is double sided so it can transfer 2X the data & also USB4 will only use USB-C

 

[Tiamat2san]

Don't care, I play wired as it should be.

 

[FlyyGOD]

Has Microsoft announced what the Seris X wifi is yet?

 

[onQ123]

But back to what I was talking about in my thread before it was locked , With stuff like BT 5.1 the controller can be tracked in 3D without a camera.

 

[sircaw]

USB-C is double sided so it can transfer 2X the data & also USB4 will only use USB-C

I am going to go and lie down now, and cry

improve their network ?

more stable downloads ?

pfff bahahaahha

 

[Agnostic2020]

Has Microsoft announced what wifi is yet?

WiFi 5.

802.11 ac as per digital foundry breakdown.

Wifi 6 is 802.11 ax

 

[GaviotaGrande]

You can have the fastest Wi-Fi out there, if downloads from your storefront are capped, it won't matter.

 

[Kazekage1981]

Has Microsoft announced what wifi is yet?

i got my info from in the initial reveal from the next gen thread. not official from ms.

 

[CAB_Life]

If you're online gaming to any reasonable degree you should be using a network cable. But this is cool regardless.

 

[Whitecrow]

Well, this makes it clear more than anything.
MS only worry was TFLOPS. Brute force aside, PS5 trumps XSX tech wise.

 

[Dnice1]

Yall are really using wifi for your console?

 

[Kazekage1981]

i mean wifi6 is great, but your ISP needs to provide wifi6 service (and may increase monthly costs). I talked to xfinitiy, at &t, and they stated the maximum speeds they can provide is

1 gigabits per second


a lot of gamers dont care for wifi6 because they will be using wired cable connection to get the best connection with no lag
