The rumour mill around the PlayStation 6 (PS6) continues to churn, with fresh reports suggesting some serious performance gains — especially in ray tracing. While we’re still a few years away from an official launch, new leaks hint that Sony’s next-gen console will be a major step up from the PS5 in more ways than one.

According to the YouTube channel Moore’s Law is Dead, which has previously shared credible leaks, the ray tracing performance on the PS6 is expected to be 6 to 12 times better than the PS5. Earlier rumours had already suggested a 5x to 10x improvement, but the latest spec leaks seem to raise the bar even higher.

Ray Tracing Is Just One Piece of the Puzzle

Ray tracing — which simulates how light behaves in real-world environments — has been a buzzword in gaming for a while now, and Sony appears to be investing heavily in pushing it to the next level. That said, it's not the only area where the PS6 is rumoured to improve.

In fact, the upcoming console is expected to bring a wide range of hardware upgrades, including:

A more efficient APU (Accelerated Processing Unit), which could result in lower power consumption — good news for energy-conscious gamers.

A huge jump in memory, with rumours pointing to 30GB or even 40GB of RAM. For context, the PS5 has 16GB, and even the upcoming PS5 Pro is only said to feature 1GB more than that.

These improvements might mean quicker load times, more seamless gameplay, and the ability to handle even more complex, graphically intensive games.

Take It with a Grain of Salt

As thrilling as all of this is, it's best to keep expectations in check. The PS6 remains probably years off from release, and hardware specs tend to change as development happens. Sony hasn't officially announced anything yet.

But if the rumours are accurate, gamers can look forward to a truly next-gen experience — one that doesn’t just rely on flashy ray tracing but also delivers improvements across the board.
