Project Canis reappears among the rumors about the future of PlayStation
What hardware the portable PS6 would have according to leaks
The first rumors about a new portable PlayStation appeared in February 2024. The technical specifications began to circulate in August 2025
According to information released by Moore’s Law Is Dead, Project Canis would use an AMD chip manufactured on 3 nanometers
CPU: 6 cores, with four dedicated to gaming and two low-power cores for system tasks
GPU:RDNA 5 architecture and 16 compute units
Memory:24 GB LPDDR5X was mentioned
This data corresponds to leaks and has not yet been confirmed by Sony
What hardware would the PS6 portable have according to leaks
The portable could also connect to the TV
Project Canis would have a dock to connect to the TV, functioning similarly to the tabletop mode of the Nintendo Switch
In that mode, the console could boost graphical performance and raise the GPU frequency from 1.2 GHz to 1.65 GHz

There was also speculation about using 24 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, although the material indicates that Sony might opt for 16 GB to reduce costs
PSSR3 would be key to improving performance
Another rumor points to the use of PSSR3, a future evolution of PlayStation's upscaling and image smoothing technology
The leaker KeplerL2 had linked this technology to Project Canis in a message posted on NeoGAF on March 31
PSSR3 would be one of the keys to improving performance
According to that information, the GPU would be slightly above Xbox Series S in rasterization and would have greater capability for ray tracing
An article from GameGPU mentioned up to 14 TFLOPS of equivalent performance through PSSR3, although it did not provide methodology or evidence to support that figure
The GPU would be slightly above Xbox Series S in rasterization
What games the portable PS6 could run
The leaked idea for Project Canis is to allow local play of titles from PS4, PS5, and PS6
The operation would depend on upscaling and frame generation technologies to adapt games to the portable hardware
The material also indicates that some current PS5 games are compatible with a low-power mode of the console
What games could the portable PS6 run
When Project Canis would arrive and how much it could cost
The leaks place the arrival of the portable PS6 in 2027, although Sony has not yet officially announced the console. The price is one of the main unknowns. At the beginning of the year, the estimated manufacturing cost was US$493.69
The material claims that the increase in memory prices would have raised the costs of the components
