While there is still plenty of time before Sony officially announces the PS6, a new leak has emerged that gives us an early idea of how much RAM the device might offer.
Sony is still some way away from the official unveiling of the PS6, but leaks and rumors have already begun to paint a clearer picture. The device is expected to arrive sometime in 2026. Some rumors indicate that manufacturing will begin in mid-2027, with a full release planned for fall 2027 or early 2028. And now, a new leak has revealed details about an important component: memory.
The latest information comes from Kepler L2, a source known for sharing reliable hardware-related leaks in the past. According to the leak, the PS6 will feature 30GB of GDDR7 RAM, 6GB more than previous rumors claimed. The report also claims that the memory will run on a 160-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 640GB/s. This setup uses 3GB memory modules, A total of 10 units are placed on the motherboard, and if this information is accurate, it will be a significant upgrade compared to the current PS5, which comes with 16 GB of GDDR6 RAM.
However, there is an important factor to consider; The technology industry is currently dealing with a memory crisis. RAM prices have risen rapidly, and supply constraints are expected to continue for the next few years. While adding more memory will obviously benefit performance, it may also raise the overall cost of the device.
One user suggested that 20GB of RAM would be a more logical option for the PS6, mainly due to the higher cost of memory. The user added that moving to 30GB could add another $100 to the suggested price of the device. Kepler L2 disagreed with this opinion and claimed that 20GB would not be enough for the device. Although he acknowledged that the additional memory could increase the total cost by $100, he believes that Sony will simply have to deal with the higher cost for the first year or Two years, until memory prices start to fall.
