The Xbox “Magnus” leak centers around claims made by hardware leakers—especially via the YouTube channel Moore’s Law Is Dead that Microsoft’s next console will use an AMD APU (chip) codenamed “Magnus” that outperforms what’s expected from Sony’s upcoming PS6. According to the leak, the die (chip area) is substantially larger than that proposed for the PS6’s chip, which implies higher cost and more power draw.

Historically, Sony has tended to operate on a roughly 6–7 year generational cycle (e.g. PS4 to PS5), and that pattern points toward a potential 2027 release window. Yet recent reports suggest that 2027 might now be too early, and that Sony could delay launch to late 2028. Some experts caution that leaks and insider hints should be taken with skepticism, given how frequently plans shift in hardware development.
