Insiders Reveal: Next-Gen Xbox to Outperform PS6 with Higher Price Tag, Set for 2027 Launch

The next generation of consoles from **Sony** and **Microsoft** could be on the market in just two years. Two independent sources have reported that the PlayStation 6 and a new Xbox are expected to launch in 2027.

Renowned insider KeplerL2, who has accurately predicted **AMD** chip specifications in the past, **stated** on the NeoGAF forum that the release of the PlayStation 6 is indeed scheduled for 2027—barring any unforeseen delays. This discussion was sparked by a recent video from **Sony** and **AMD** about upcoming technologies, in which **Mark Cerny** mentioned a «new console in a few years.»

On the same day, the blogger **Moore’s Law is Dead** shared a video detailing the **AMD** Magnus APU, the largest chip ever used in gaming devices. This chip integrates both processing and graphics into a single die and, according to the insider, is approximately 46% larger than the chip being developed for the PlayStation 6. This will provide a substantial boost in power, but will likely raise production costs and the final retail price of the console.

**Moore’s Law is Dead** believes that **Microsoft** is developing a hybrid device that merges console and PC capabilities, allowing it to run not only titles from the Xbox store but also games from other platforms like Steam. This approach could transform the Xbox into something akin to a desktop gaming PC, while still retaining the user-friendly console interface.

However, the performance differences, according to the blogger, are not expected to be drastic:

The video from Moore’s Law is Dead includes insights on the new Xbox.

**Moore’s Law is Dead** also speculated that the price of the new Xbox could range from $800 to $1,200 depending on the configuration. He noted that this device could impact the PC market by compelling pre-built manufacturers to reduce their prices.

According to the blogger, **Microsoft** aims to create not just a gaming console but a versatile system that combines the features of both a console and a PC—while simultaneously challenging both platforms.

Additionally, **Moore’s Law is Dead** reiterated several times that the new console, referred to by the “green” team, is planned for a 2027 release—around the same time as its competitor from the “blue” team.
