PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development between AMD and Sony engineers that will power the PlayStation 6 was interesting from a geek point of view. But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

Foxxio planned for Vita with a 2021 release date

Which is cool, assuming Sony keep the pipes running until then and the game gets finished, and approved by Sony.

UPDATE (for additional clarity) The devs state: "Engine Switch is nearly complete so we can confirm PC, PS4, PSVITA, SWITCH. However the reason we stayed so carefully about a PSVITA Port was that we were unsure about the Game Conversation from EngineA to EngineB, that worked now - so we can progress further in development."


There are some early demos of the prototype in action on their YouTube channel, the team have been working for two years on their foxy-platformer. But much work has been done since then, and you can see plenty more recent images on their Twitter.

With a cute fox navigating a dark world populated by monsters and mechs, guided by a spiritual vulpine friend, it looks good and the developers have finished off the first level recently, so progress is being made.

Hope it all works out, and look forward to playing Foxxio on my 10-year old Vita!
