PS6 portable: everything we know about Project Canis and its possible arrival in 2027

The portable PS6, known in leaks as Project Canis, reappears among rumors about the future of PlayStation

The data points to a console with AMD hardware, PSSR3, TV connection, and the ability to run games from different generations

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

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

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

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

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
