It Looks Like the PlayStation 6 Is Not Coming Out Anytime Soon

Zachary Roberts Published 09/09/2026

The PlayStation 6, much like the Project Helix Xbox, is under development. This much we know, but exactly when the new generation of consoles will arrive is anyone’s guess. We know precious few details about the PlayStation 6, including its release date. Kalshi traders, though, have made their opinion known on when the next Sony console will hit the market.

Will the PlayStation 6 come out this year? Almost certainly not. For one thing, the year is nearly over, and there hasn’t been so much as a leak, let alone marketing. Kalshi prediction market traders seem to have picked up on this, and they overwhelmingly believe it’s not even going to be announced in 2026.

There is currently an 8.6% chance, according to traders. The general consensus has overwhelmingly shifted negative. This time last year, the percentage was up around 55%, but it has cratered since.

What’s interesting about this is that the Sony CEO admitted that the PS5 is in its latter stages and that there’s no need to “aggressively” market the console. In other words, it sounds like they’re coasting to the end, but traders don’t believe that’s going to be confirmed this year. New Kalshi app markets are sure to open up in the near future, where traders can predict the specific launch year.

GTA 6 likely confirms this

GTA 6 is coming out in a matter of weeks, with the November 19 release date inching closer. That’s the sort of game that defines a console generation, and it was designed and shown off in the trailer for PlayStation 5.

That further suggests that the PS6 is far off. The console will need its own heavy-hitters when it comes out, and it is highly unlikely that Take-Two and Rockstar will want to create a new version of GTA 6 for the PlayStation 6 right away.

GTA 6 is also going to be popular for a long time, with a shelf life that rivals plenty of the longest-running games. Additionally, with a new version of GTA Online more than likely coming, it could delay the launch of the PS6 even further. Regardless, the arrival of this game in November signals a lengthy delay before the 6 comes out.
