More advanced software features!
It appears that Sony is making a generational leap with their upcoming next-gen console, PS6. According to a new leak from an industry leaker, Moore’s Law Is Dead, the upcoming console may target 4K gaming at 120 fps.
This will be heavily reliant on AI-powered technologies that will make this hardware powerful. The console is expected to feature Video Frame Interpolation (VFI), PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), AI-assisted ray tracing, and a local AI model.
Let’s check out more details in this article.
AI & frame generation could play a major role for PS6
In the video, one of the biggest highlights is Video Frame Interpolation (VFI). This is a technology that is similar to frame generation features found in NVIDIA DLSS 3, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS.
This does not render every frame traditionally; instead, VFI generates additional AI-created frames between rendered frames. This will make the game smoother while also removing the workload from the GPU.
This technology has become pretty common on PC and Sony is looking forward to bringing this to consoles.
PSSR and Ray Tracing
Sony is also expected to expand its existing PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution). This is Sony’s own AI-powered upscaling technology, which was introduced in the PS5 Pro.
According to the information in the video, PSSR will work alongside VFI, which will upscale the lower-resolution images while maintaining smooth gameplay in PS6.
Now, combined with advanced and more improved ray tracing, the company hopes that it can deliver the games without requiring expansive hardware.
Another interesting detail is to include a local AI model inside PS6. This could reduce the latency compared to cloud-based processing and enable smarter in-game features.
