PS6 & XBOX HELIX Release Date
16/06/2026
The Xbox Project Helix and the PlayStation 6 (PS6) are both tentatively targeted for a Holiday 2027 release. While 2027 is the current industry-standard target for the next console generation, ongoing hardware and memory supply constraints have sparked rumors of potential delays into 2028.
Both the PlayStation 6 and the next-generation Xbox, codenamed "Project Helix," are heavily rumored and leak-tracked to launch during the Holiday 2027 window. Despite early concerns over hardware and RAM costs, industry insiders suggest Sony and Microsoft aim to synchronize this next-gen rollout.
The modern portable PlayStation experience is the PlayStation Portal Remote Player. It features an 8-inch LCD screen, full DualSense haptic feedback, and lets you stream your digital PS5 games over Wi-Fi, or via the cloud with a PlayStation Plus Premium subscription.
Pricing and AvailabilityPrice: Typically ranges from £162 to £215 depending on the retailers.
Where to buy: You can purchase it directly via PlayStation or check local stock at Smyths Toys UK.How it WorksStreaming from Console: Connect over your home or public Wi-Fi to play PS4 and PS5 games directly installed on your console.
Cloud Streaming: You can use it as a standalone device without owning a PS5 if you have a PlayStation Plus Premium subscription, which allows you to stream hundreds of games from the cloud.Network requirements: A minimum Wi-Fi speed of 5 Mbps is required, though 15 Mbps or higher is recommended for optimal performance.
Note: For a classic standalone handheld (like the discontinued PlayStation Portable or PS Vita) with native game hardware, you would need to look at the retro or second-hand market. To see what the community thinks about the Portal's portable capabilities, check out these Reddit discussions.
