Well, it’s finally happened. After just under two years from when thePlayStation 5console launched we’ve just had our first concept design for the, right now, completely unofficialPlayStation6 video game console.
And, what makes this first PlayStation 6 concept design interesting is that it was created with use of AI.
The PS6 concept, which comes courtesy ofProtect Your Bubble, was made alongside designs for Nintendo Switch 2 and a console dubbed Xbox Series 6, and shows what can only be described asinterestingvisuals.
The AI-made PlayStation 6 console is shown off as a a floating white box with blue backlighting, while the DualSense 6 controller is shown without classic PlayStation square, triangle, circle, and X buttons. Instead, the controller is shown with dimpled grips and a minimalist control panel design.
There’s something almostalienabout the console and controller, with a weird bleeding of corners and details into each other. Despite this aesthetic weirdness, though, the AI does seem to have imbued the PS6 with the essence of ‘PlayStation’, with the system coming across like a blend of PS5 and a whitePS4.

In terms of predicting what other future consoles could look like fromMicrosoftand Nintendo, the AI seemed to match this ability to infuse a particular character into the systems, with each outputted definitelylookinglike previous machines.
The concept design called ‘Xbox Series 6’ for example (as seen above), does look very clearly like an ‘Xbox’ console, with aXbox One Xevoking black box joined alongside a Xbox Elite Wireless Controller gamepad.

Meanwhile, the AI-created concept called ‘Nintendo Switch 2’ very clearly shows a Joy-Con style controller alongside a large screen with vibrant natural imagery show on it. Clearly the AI had consumed a lot of pictures of theNintendo Switch,Nintendo Switch OLEDandNintendo Switch Liteplaying Animal Crossing.
The T3 take: AI madness but intriguing to see
However, with the PS5 andXbox Series Xnow just about two years into their lifespan, and the Nintendo Switch 5 years into its, these designs do beg the question of what will new hardware from these makers look like.
We know, for example, that a new console seemsalmost certainto be incoming from the Big N shortly, while just hours ago did news break that a new PS5 model of console withdetachable disc driveis thought to be incoming next year.
And, with Microsoft showing a history of mid-gen console refreshes - just look at theXbox One S, for example - it too seems destined to launch new hardware over the next couple of years.
But what I think is safe to say is that when new hardware is released, it won’t be called ‘PS6’, ‘Xbox Series 6’ and ‘Nintendo Switch 2’.
