New alleged specifications for Sony’s rumored PS6 handheld have surfaced, pointing to 24GB of memory, an RDNA 5 GPU and next-generation PSSR upscaling with frame generation.
The information comes from hardware leaker KeplerL2, who previously provided accurate details about the PS5 Pro ahead of its official reveal. The latest specifications were highlighted in a new Digital Foundry report.
Sony has not officially announced the handheld, reportedly codenamed Project Canis, so the specifications should still be treated as unconfirmed.
Alleged PS6 Handheld Specifications
According to KeplerL2, the current hardware configuration includes:
- CPU: 6 AMD cores – 4x Zen 6c and 2x Zen 6 LP
- GPU: 16 RDNA 5 (UDNA) compute units
- Memory: 24GB LPDDR5X
- Memory Bus: 192-bit
- TDP: 15–25W
- Handheld GPU Clock: 1.2GHz
- Docked GPU Clock: 1.65GHz
One notable change from earlier leaks is the move from a 128-bit to 192-bit memory bus, which would provide considerably more memory bandwidth.
PSSR 3.0 Could Include Frame Generation
The handheld is also claimed to support PSSR 3.0, a next-generation version of Sony’s PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution technology that reportedly includes frame generation.
Backward compatibility is another major part of the leak. Project Canis is reportedly capable of running PS4 and PS5 games locally, although compatibility with all next-generation PlayStation games isn’t guaranteed.
If accurate, that could position the handheld as a portable companion to Sony’s next-generation console rather than simply a cloud-streaming device.
Price Remains the Big Unknown
Pricing remains completely unknown. KeplerL2 previously suggested that a price below $600 would be impossible, but Sony has not announced any pricing, release window or even officially confirmed Project Canis.
Until that happens, both the specifications and potential price should be treated as unofficial information.
Still, with 24GB of memory, RDNA 5 graphics, PS4 and PS5 compatibility and PSSR 3.0 reportedly on the table, Sony’s rumored PS6 handheld is beginning to look like a considerably more ambitious device than the PlayStation Portal.
