October 20, 2026 at 08:13 PM

> Sony's PS6 and Microsoft's Project Helix are expected to launch late next year with performance rivaling high-end Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs.

**Sony** and **Microsoft** are expected to unveil their next-generation consoles, the **PS6** and **Project Helix**, late next year as current hardware hits its seven-year anniversary. These upcoming systems aim to significantly surpass current performance benchmarks.

The PS6 is projected to reach performance levels comparable to **Nvidia**'s RTX 5070 Ti or RTX 5080 GPUs. Meanwhile, Nvidia recently expanded its lineup, launching the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 in January 2025, followed by the RTX 5060 release in May 2025.

Insider Kepler_L2 claims the future RTX 6060, potentially launching in 2029, will not match the PS6's power. This shift is notable as current consoles only match the RTX 2070 Super, while Nvidia confirms the flagship RTX 5090 remains on the roadmap.
