The PlayStation community always knew they’d need to start saving for the next big console, but this recent PlayStation 6 leak has them scrambling to stash away cash earlier than expected.

Sony and Microsoft are locked in a fierce battle to deliver the most powerful gaming console. Which brand will come out on top remains uncertain, but one thing’s clear: Sony is pulling out all the stops for the PlayStation 6. In other news, the beloved Mafia series is making a return! Check out the trailer for Mafia: The Old Country and lose yourself in this gripping world of crime and intrigue. Speculation surrounding the PS6 is rampant. While Sony hasn’t officially confirmed the exact specs, rumors suggest they’re “leaning heavily towards AMD” for their hardware needs.

For those deep in discussion on Reddit, this choice isn’t a shocker. One user, No-Chemistry-4561, pointed out, “As far as I know, NVIDIA doesn’t offer a CPU. What AMD offers is an APU, which combines a CPU and GPU on a single die. That’s why AMD has the edge in the more powerful console market.”

Others jumped to NVIDIA’s defense, with one user noting, “PS3 was good. That was NVIDIA based. But yeah, I don’t think NVIDIA wants to reclaim that ground, and AMD has really been doing well here with custom.”

Despite this, many fans are stunned that we’re already looking ahead to the PS6’s rumored specs, especially since the PS5’s potential hasn’t been fully tapped yet. But here we are, staring at the dawn of the next generation. The PS5’s eventual phase-out isn’t exactly news—the PS6 release window was subtly hinted at, but most of us didn’t catch it.

Given the power the next PlayStation is expected to wield, it’s likely to come with a hefty price tag, too. Luckily, there’s still time to save, particularly with the PS5 Pro set to debut first. But it never hurts to start setting aside some extra cash now. When the PS6 finally drops, you’re going to need every penny to snag one.
