PS6 Development Milestone Teased by AMD
AMD has once again teased its collaboration with Sony on , stating that its release of FSR 4 is 'just the beginning.' AMD's latest upscaler was co-developed by Sony, who provided assistance with the models used to train FSR 4, including PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR).
In a tweet celebrating FSR 4 on X, AMD said that it's 'proud to collaborate with PlayStation on Project Amethyst.' Last December, Sony confirmed that Project Amethyst was a joint effort between the two companies to create technology based on machine learning for graphics and gameplay.
'FSR 4 is looking fantastic!' AMD continued. 'Excited for the co-development with Sony Interactive Entertainment on the models used for the FSR 4 upscaler. This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for what's next!'
While Sony didn't explicity mention PS6's development when it announced its partnership with AMD, it's an open secret at this point. Rumors of the companies working together on next-gen platforms had been circulating for almost a year before Sony announced Project Amethyst.
Sony and AMD have enjoyed a strong partnership since the PS4. Last July, an AMD veteran revealed that the company was on the verge of financial disaster when Sony came along and saved it from bankruptcy by tasking it with PS4's production.
Speculation suggests that PS6 will release sometime in late 2027.

Trump Weekly: Appeals court halts block on tariffs, talks with China stall
Catch up on the top industries and stocks that were impacted, or were predicted to be impacted, by the comments, actions and policies of President Trump with this weekly recap compiled by The Fly: Confident Investing Starts Here: TRUMP TARIFFS: After the United States Court of International Trade entered judgment against the United States and permanently enjoined certain Executive Orders imposing various tariffs, the United States moved to consolidate its appeals from those rulings and has applied for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to stay the judgment and injunction pending these appeals and for an immediate administrative stay while the court considers that motion. The United States' request for the Court of International Trade to grant the same relief remains pending before that court. The appeals court ordered that the motions to consolidate are granted and the request for an immediate administrative stay is granted to the extent that the judgments and the permanent injunctions entered by the Court of International Trade in these cases are temporarily stayed until further notice while this court considers the motions papers, a ruling posted to the site of the court stated. Of note, this comes after the U.S. Court of International Trade had ruled that President Trump does not have the authority under economic emergency legislation to impose sweeping global tariffs. 'There is no question here of narrowly tailored relief; if the challenged Tariff Orders are unlawful as to Plaintiffs they are unlawful as to all,' the court's opinion reads. CHINA TRADE: President Donald Trump stated in a post to Truth Social, 'Two weeks ago China was in grave economic danger! The very high Tariffs I set made it virtually impossible for China to TRADE into the United States marketplace which is, by far, number one in the World. We went, in effect, COLD TURKEY with China, and it was devastating for them. Many factories closed and there was, to put it mildly, 'civil unrest.' I saw what was happening and didn't like it, for them, not for us. I made a FAST DEAL with China in order to save them from what I thought was going to be a very bad situation, and I didn't want to see that happen. Because of this deal, everything quickly stabilized and China got back to business as usual. Everybody was happy! That is the good news!!! The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US. So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!' CHIP EXPORT: The Trump administration has suspended sales of more U.S. technology, including chips and jet engines, in response to China's critical mineral export restrictions, The New York Times' Ana Swanson reports. The new U.S. restrictions appear to be part of a broader review within the Commerce Department of exports of strategic goods to China. Publicly traded companies in the chip space include AMD (AMD), Intel (INTC), Marvell (MRVL), Microchip (MCHP), Micron (MU), Nvidia (NVDA), Qualcomm (QCOM) and Texas Instruments (TXN). TARIFFS ON EU: President Donald Trump stated in a post to Truth Social, 'I received a call today from Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, requesting an extension on the June 1st deadline on the 50% Tariff with respect to Trade and the European Union. I agreed to the extension – July 9, 2025 – It was my privilege to do so. The Commission President said that talks will begin rapidly. Thank you for your attention to this matter!' Further, he also stated on Truth Social that, 'I was extremely satisfied with the 50% Tariff allotment on the European Union, especially since they were 'slow walking (to put it mildly!), our negotiations with them. Remember, I am empowered to 'SET A DEAL' for Trade into the United States if we are unable to make a deal, or are treated unfairly. I have just been informed that the E.U. has called to quickly establish meeting dates. This is a positive event, and I hope that they will, FINALLY, like my same demand to China, open up the European Nations for Trade with the United States of America. They will BOTH be very happy, and successful, if they do!!!' NUCLEAR ORDER SIGNING: President Donald Trump signed orders meant to accelerate the construction of nuclear power plants, including small, newer reactor types. 'We're signing tremendous executive orders today that really will make us the real power in this industry,' Trump said as he signed the directives in the Oval Office, adding that nuclear technology 'has come a long way, both in safety and costs.' Trump was joined by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and energy industry executives including Constellation Energy (CEG) CEO Joseph Dominguez and Jake DeWitte, the co-founder and CEO of Oklo (OKLO). Other publicly traded companies in the nuclear energy space include Nuscale Power (SMR), Nano Nuclear Energy (NNE), BWX Technologies (BWXT), Centrus Energy (LEU) and Cameco (CCJ). GOING PUBLIC: In a post on Truth Social, President Trump stated: 'Our great Mortgage Agencies, Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC), provide a vital service to our Nation by helping hardworking Americans reach the American Dream – Home Ownership. I am working on TAKING THESE AMAZING COMPANIES PUBLIC, but I want to be clear, the U.S. Government will keep its implicit GUARANTEES, and I will stay strong in my position on overseeing them as President. These Agencies are now doing very well, and will help us to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!' MUSK LEAVING DOGE: In a post on X, Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk stated, 'As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending. The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government. GOLDEN SHARE: The U.S. government will have veto power over key decisions relating to U.S. Steel (X) as part of a national security agreement deal with Nippon Steel (NPSCY) that would approve the Japanese company's bid for the steel company, Bloomberg's Joe Deaux and Josh Wingrove report. The deal put forward to the Committee on Foreign Investment int he U.S. and to the President includes the original $55 per share acquisition offer, plus $14B in new investments, two people familiar with the matter say. Senator Dave McCormick, a Pennsylvania Republican and Trump ally, confirmed some of the details on Tuesday, including $2.4B to be invested in the Mon Valley plant. 'The control structure is going to be somewhat unique,' McCormick said. 'It'll be a U.S. CEO, a U.S. majority board, and then there'll be a golden share, which will essentially require U.S. government approval of a number of the board members, and that'll allow the United States to ensure production levels aren't cut and things like that.'

How to enable Auracast on Sony's WH-1000XM6 headphones
Sony's lastest flagship wireless headphones, the WH-1000XM6, are superb in many ways, with great sound, top-notch noise canceling, and improved comfort. They also contain a feature that no other 1000X series model has ever offered: the ability to access Bluetooth Auracast broadcasts. Unfortunately, unlike many of the other features, like spatial audio, EQ settings, and control customization — which can all be accessed with a few taps in the Sony Sound Connect app — getting Auracast to work takes a bit more effort. Here's a brief overview of why Auracast matters and how to take advantage of it on the Sony WH-1000XM6. Recommended Videos Why Auracast? Bluetooth Auracast, which was introduced along with LE Audio in the official Bluetooth 5.2 specification, turns any compatible source device (like a smartphone, laptop, or tablet) into a Bluetooth radio station that can broadcast the same audio to an unlimited number of Auracast-compatible receiving devices (like headphones, earbuds, or speakers). This makes it the perfect way to share audio wirelessly between friends or even large gatherings. Unlike traditional Bluetooth device connections, which require a pairing process before any audio can be streamed, an Auracast broadcast can be found and listened to without any 'handshake' to the source device. All you need is an interface (known as an Auracast assistant) that lets you scan for and tune-in to available broadcasts in your vicinity. If you've ever scanned for an available Wi-Fi access point, it's the same process. In fact, Auracast broacasts, much like Wi-Fi networks, can be open (anyone can listen) or private (you need a password or PIN to listen). When would I use Auracast? Initially, most people will use Auracast in two ways: to share audio from a phone or computer, or to extend a Bluetooth speaker's audio to additional Bluetooth speakers — some brands call this 'Party Mode'. Marshall has just released its first soundbar, the Heston 120, which uses Auracast to extend its surround sound to compatible Marshall Bluetooth speakers. However, over time, we expect to see many additional uses, including: Primary and secondary language soundtracks at movie theaters Wireless headphone and hearing aid connections for TVs at home Wireless headphone connections for TVs in public spaces like gyms or lounges Public address (PA)systems in busy spaces like airports, train stations, or stadiums Audio tours at museums, art galleries, or monuments Virtual PA for conferences and trade shows How do I use Auracast on the Sony WH-1000XM6? Before we get to the specific steps, there's one thing you need to know: The WH-1000XM6 won't support Bluetooth Auracast when connected to iPhones or iPads. The reason is Sony's approach to Auracast as a technology. Instead of providing the Auracast assistant capability within its Sound Connect app, Sony relies on the mobile phone's own software to provide it. At the moment, only select phones with Android 13 or higher possess Auracast assistant functionality built-in. If you want to use Auracast with an iPhone, you'll need a product like JBL's Tour One M3 or Tour Pro 3 — which come with an Auracast assistant in JBL's Headphones app for iOS. For the following steps, we used a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, running One UI 7.0 on Android 15. Check to see if your phone/Android version combination supports Bluetooth Auracast before proceeding. Use the Sound Connect app to switch to LE Audio Bluetooth Auracast only works when the receiving device (headphones, earbuds, etc) uses LE Audio. This is a different mode than the so-called classic Bluetooth connection. Sony ships the WH-1000XM6 in classic Bluetooth mode by default so you need to manually switch it LE Audio mode. Connect the WH-1000XM6 to a phone running Android 13 or higher Open the Sony Sound Connect app Scroll down and select Device Settings Select the System tab Scroll down and select the down arrow next to Classic Audio only under the LE Audio connection setting for headphones section Select the LE Audio Priority radio button Agree to the Change to [LE Audio Priority] dialog box by selecting OK You will see a notification that the headphones must be reconnected, select Check Operating Procedures to see detailed instructions or Cancel Return to your phone's Bluetooth settings Find the WH-1000XM6 in the paired devices menu Unpair or forget the WH-1000XM6 (method may vary by device) Press and hold on the WH-1000XM6's power button until the LED flashes blue and you hear the 'Pairing' voice prompt from the headphones On your Android phone, Google Fast Pair should automatically recognize the headphones and ask you to Connect Once connected, select Done Enter the settings for the WH-1000XM6 from the Bluetooth device menu (method may vary by device) Select the LE Audio option You will hear the headphones disconnect and reconnect Your WH-1000XM6 should now be in connected to your phone via LE Audio. To verify: Return to the Sony Sound Connect app Below the main image of the headphones and the battery life readout, you should see LE Audio displayed If you don't, repeat steps 1-17 Use Android's Bluetooth settings to find and connect to an Auracast broadcast Return to your phone's Bluetooth settings Find the WH-1000XM6 in the list of paired device and enter the settings menu for the headphones (method may vary by device) Scroll down and select Listen to Auracast broadcast If any Auracast broadcasts are available, they will be listed on the following screen Select any available Auracast broadcast You should now hear the audio through the WH-1000XM6
