Sony’s rumored PlayStation 6 handheld console could feature a docking system which will enable it to connect to a TV and run at higher clock speeds when docked, according to a report. Gamesrant, quoting an insider, reported that this setup to the Nintendo Switch 2’s dock, while highlighting differences in performance between handheld and docked modes for the PS6.
Although Sony has yet to confirm any details about its next-generation console, speculation has been growing steadily. Back in July, reports hinted that both the PS6 and the upcoming Xbox console would once again rely on AMD technology, specifically RDNA 5 GPU architecture, marking the third generation powered by AMD hardware. Both consoles are tentatively expected to launch around 2027, though no official release windows have been shared.

In a recent video update, YouTuber Moore’s Law Is Dead claimed that the PS6 handheld—codenamed “Canis”—will ship with a dock that boosts performance. When connected, the console’s clock speed could jump from 1.2GHz to roughly 1.65GHz, offering more than double the ray tracing capability of the PS5. However, its rasterization performance may still fall slightly short of the PS5 unless developers release patches tailored to the new hardware.
The handheld is also rumored to feature backward compatibility with both PS4 and PS5 titles, matching the standard version of the PS6. Under the hood, it is said to be powered by a 6-core AMD Zen 6 CPU paired with RDNA 5 graphics, delivering around 60% more compute bandwidth compared to the upcoming ROG Ally X, which runs on AMD’s Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme chip.
