PlayStation 6: Release Date, Pricing, Specs, and More

Sony’s PlayStation series has long helped the gaming industry reach new horizons, and now, all eyes are on the next big thing: PlayStation 6. But can it change how we play video games? Back in 2020, PlayStation 5 revolutionized the tech industry with its high-end features, including ultra-fast SSD, 4K graphics, and fully redesigned controllers. And as we look ahead, PS6 is generating even more buzz among developers, gamers, and industry experts, making it one of the most anticipated technology gadgets. Accordingly, the following article explores everything we know so far about Sony’s next gaming console and the rumors surrounding its release date, pricing, specs, and more.

Expected Release Date for PlayStation 6

At the time of writing this blog post, there has been no official announcement regarding the console’s release date, but there are many speculations based on previous patterns. Traditionally, Sony releases a new gaming console every six to eight years. So, the PlayStation 6 series release date should fall somewhere between 2026 and 2028. However, industry analysts and other gaming experts suggest that Sony may break this pattern, especially considering the ongoing success of PlayStation 5. Jim Ryan, Sony’s Former CEO, explained how the company may prioritize extending the life cycle of its current console rather than rapidly moving on to the next.  

Rumored Features and Specs of PlayStation 6

Building on previous experience with earlier Sony consoles, the PlayStation 6 will likely offer significant upgrades in performance, graphics, and user experience.   Here’s what we can speculate: Hardware Expectations: PS6 will probably feature more processing power, likely from a custom AMD chipset, accompanied by enhanced ray tracing technology that helps the console deliver more realistic graphics and faster load time. Virtual and Augmented Reality Integration: With PlayStation VR’s growing popularity, Sony will likely expand its commitment to virtual and augmented reality technologies to offer an even more immersive experience than the PS5’s VR setup. AI and Machine Learning: AI technology is becoming increasingly integrated into our lives. With its rapid advancements, it could lead to smarter in-game environments, adaptive gameplay, and more realistic non-player characters (NPCs). But that can’t be all. Given that Sony often starts discussing new hardware well in advance, rumors and leaks will likely intensify as the PlayStation 6 release date approaches.  

Design and Build of PlayStation 6

After our experience with the PS5, Sony will likely aim for a smaller, more compact console to stay competitive while catering to what consumers want and what the gaming world needs. Additionally, PlayStation 6 will likely have a minimalist, eco-friendly design that focuses on sustainability as global attention shifts towards environmental concerns. Recent reports suggest that Sony might adopt recyclable materials in its manufacturing process. The company aims to limit its impact on the environment by reducing its carbon footprint. Finally, the company has world-class designers who always deliver outstanding design and build capabilities, and PlayStation 6 can’t be an exception.  

Game Library and Compatibility of PlayStation 6

PlayStation 6 will definitely include exclusive Sony titles, continuing Sony’s tradition of high-quality blockbuster games that showcase the power of its new hardware. According to rumors, developers are already working on new titles tailored for the PS6 that can leverage the console’s enhanced gaming capabilities, particularly in terms of graphics and performance. Additionally, the backward compatibility feature has been a major selling point for the PS5, and fans expect Sony to keep this going or even expand it in their next series. So, PlayStation 6 will likely allow gamers to play PS4 and PS5 titles on the new console, ensuring a seamless transition for players while preserving their existing game libraries.  

Controllers of PlayStation 6

Sony shifted from the traditional DualShock controllers on PS4 to the highly innovative DualSense controllers on PS5, which were widely praised for the new features they packed. With haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and the slick new design of the DualSense controllers, Sony had much to offer back in 2020 and will most likely build upon this success. Accordingly, PlayStation 6 will add more features to the controllers, including touchscreen controls, advanced haptics, and motion tracking, designed to improve the VR experience. Finally, some rumors suggest that Sony might even introduce the next generation of DualSense Edge controllers, which gamers can customize and swap parts.  

Pricing and Market Strategies of PlayStation 6

With the rising costs of gaming hardware, many believe that the PlayStation 6 will be priced higher than its predecessors, which is not surprising given the features it might pack. The PlayStation 5 launched at $499 for its standard edition, and experts figure the PS6 should retail at around $599 or higher, depending on its hardware and technology. However, this could raise concerns about whether the console will be affordable, which could lead to options like financing plans or bundle deals to make the PS6 easier to get for gamers. Ultimately, we can expect the PlayStation 6 to come in various models with multiple storage options and performance capabilities, similar to the digital-only and standard editions of the PS5.  

Final Thoughts

The next generation of Sony’s gaming consoles is already shaping into an exciting and innovative piece of technology that could take gaming to new heights. From upgraded hardware and better gameplay to new designs, better DualSense controllers, and AI integrations, the PlayStation 5 will likely have a lot to offer. So, stay tuned as Sony continues to unveil more details about the PlayStation 6 in the following years, and prepare yourself for the next evolution in PlayStation gaming. Read the full article

Anyway, it seems Zen 6 will have 2 nm.

Zen 7 probably won't be that different, due to how slow AMD is when it comes to node changes (they prefer I/O gains), so despite the likely 2 year gap between PS6, and next Xbox, the difference probably won't be big.

(There is the possibility of PS6 using ARM due to recent job listings, but that is most likely for mobile ports. The new handheld will likely use AMD, so there isn't much reason to switch to ARM outside of possible machine-learning performance gains, and more uicker node shifts for energy consumption.)

2032 might be different, since Xbox will likely have full new console, and Sony will likely only have mid-gen upgrade, so the initial difference will be bigger. Zen 9 with a smaller GPU, and Zen 7 with a much bigger GPU would be a bigger difference, especially considering the possible NPU additions mandated by Microsoft's new machine learning software products.

I heard that FF7RR didn't perform as well as Remake and at first I was sad but then I starting thinking about it. The PS4 came out and not enough units were made but eventually they caught up and everyone seemed to have one but this generation, the same thing happened, that's their own fault, they underestimated on purpose and it got a reputation again that it's a scalped console.

While certainly desirable, a lot of people couldn't find these and when they finally became available, they shrugged at the price. PS4 was 400, PS5 is 500, it's a hundred dollar difference and yet we're still here 3, wait, it's been almost 4 now, 4 years since it's launch! It's more than half way through its life cycle if we go by PS4 dates. 6 is pretty standard. Not to mention, after the first three years, Sony is known for coming out with a revision to their console.

The PS4 Pro, the PS2 and PS3 slims, it's expected and with the coming of those, there were price drops, first 50 after the first 2 years then 100 when it actually released and it took the spot of how much that initial console cost. We're already past that point now so I suppose the decision between a digital and physical version is considered the different version right at the get-go. People wait for these things to go on sale. They wait for a game that they really want.

Me? Spider-Man 2 and FF7R2 just dropped within the past 6 months and those are the two games that I'd get. There's a ton of games that I'd try but those are two that I was really looking forward to, does that justify uh, 500+70+70=640 plus tax?

I for one have waited so long that I decided to wait until the PS6. And Sony must know that the PS5 sales didn't go as planned, I mean, it's three years in and they release the brand new Resident Evil 4 remake on both consoles. 50 million consoles sold is huge but when you have over double that with PS4 which was still had higher sales at the landmark the PS5 is at right now.

I support new consoles, new technology but absurdly priced technology just doesn't cut it for me, I don't normally give in and I want FF7RR more than any other game right now because it looks like KH4 is out of reach for the time being and I know a lot of people are the same way, "I want to play it but I don't have a PS5". There's certainly a demand for that game, but one factor is that some people wanted the idea of a remake but got a franchise (which I personally don't mind but still)

I'm not always blaming the industry because the price of everything is up right now and really, that puts a damper on absolutely everything, nobody can go out and have fun. I make it a point to only go out maybe one day of the week and do something because any more than that is spending too much money. It's sad and it's stupid. My siblings are growing up in this, first covid then the economy which when I ask them what they want to do, they have no idea what they 'can' do because they don't know what's out there. Then when I decide for them, they don't know how to act, they don't know how to treat an arcade because we can't afford to go to them all the time, let alone find one. They're indecisive about getting a toy because for one, they see the price, which they shouldn't have to worry about but when they ask for something expensive and all they know is the excuse that it's too much then they start being conscious of it and then they don't know how to treat it because they know that may be the one big thing they get and aren't sure whether to use that ticket. Then me, I go into stores and don't buy anything, I gawk "Oh, that's new" because I spent the money to drive here but everything I see is overpriced and or a lot of effort to get aka I have to stand in line for 20 minutes because they don't have self checkout and they don't pay enough employees to have more than two registers open at a time and by the time I get there, I change my mind and regret my potential purchase.

The middle class has been eliminated and a majority of its people have been pushed into being poor. Sidetracked. It's not the game, it's the console, it's not the console, it's the price. And the games also cost more. Ok, bye.

Nvidia RTX 5090: The Next Frontier in Gaming Performance

RTX 5090: What We Know About Nvidia’s Next Flagship GPU

According to TweakTown, Nvidia is getting ready for a significant improvement in graphics performance. The GeForce series Blackwell GPUs, which are expected to be released later this year, are reportedly going to provide the “biggest ever” overall performance boost.

This information comes from AGF on X, a leaker who has come forward after going quiet for a while. AGF asserts that the generation-to-generation performance boost will be the largest advancement Nvidia has ever made in consumer GPUs in a recent tweet that RedGamingTech has highlighted on YouTube.

RTX 5090 release date

This is allegedly because Blackwell’s original design was intended to compete with the formidable RDNA 4 MCM flagship graphics card. But AMD has since given up on this tactic and is concentrating on mid-range RDNA 4. However, AGF claims that Nvidia will still rely largely on RTX 5000 GPUs. It is anticipated that the Blackwell generation will compete with RDNA 5, which is scheduled for release in 2025. Still, there are no hard numbers regarding the purported performance increase. Rumors say the RTX 5090 may outperform the 4090 by 70%. It appears the RTX 5090 will release in 2024. According to reports, it is in qualification and may be released in the fourth quarter, near the end of the year.

RTX 5090 price

See if the RTX 5090 delivers this level of performance if the rumors are true. The price will then undoubtedly be intriguing as well because it is reasonable to assume that Nvidia will demand a high price for such a significant performance boost.

Geforce RTX 5090

The rumors surrounding the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 are starting to pick up steam, as insiders begin to divulge details about the upcoming GPU. One could argue that all of the discussion is taking place directly in front of the queue, and that if the giant of graphics cards continues to release cards on schedule, there’s a good chance we’ll see an RTX 4090 replacement before the year is out.

Nvidia RTX 5090

Though it may sound corny, it seems like we declared the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 to be the top performing graphics card barely a week ago. And yet, here we are, ready to explore the possibilities that an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 might offer for your gaming PC. The RTX 5000 series front-runner will undoubtedly increase frame rates more than any other card on the market, even in the absence of any rumors. Knowing Nvidia, additional AI upscaling capabilities may even be added to the DLSS 3.5 lineup.

Nvidia hasn’t announced next-generation GPU plans, so the RTX 5090’s release isn’t guaranteed. Like you might assume the next PlayStation will be called the PS6, even its name is just a logical assumption. Nevertheless, there’s enough leaked insider information about the company’s upcoming graphics card project codename Blackwell to justify its existence.

Current GeForce RTX 5090 infoNvidia has not announced an RTX 5090 or GeForce RTX 4090 replacement. The GPU manufacturer usually makes announcements in tandem with new product launches soon after making an announcement. Ultimately, we won’t know how the RTX 5090 compares to the RTX 4090 until Nvidia releases official specifications. That’s not to say insiders and leakers aren’t eager to release teasers ahead of schedule, since speculation about the VRAM arrangement of the upcoming graphics card is already starting to surface.

RTX 5090 performance

If insider information from seasoned and trustworthy Nvidia GPU leaker is to be believed, the RTX 5090 will make use of GDDR7 VRAM. Although the standard can actually reach as high as 48 Gbps, the memory chips will reportedly operate at 28 Gbps, outperforming existing GDDR6X setups that offer up to 24 Gbps.

The leaker appears to be certain that the RTX 5090 will have a 512-bit memory bus as well, but it’s important to remember that they have also hinted at the possibility of a narrower 384-bit bus. It’s reasonable to assume that Nvidia hasn’t finalized its specifications at this point, so all we’re likely hearing are two possible GDDR7 configurations that will eventually match other specifications like capacity.

Regarding that, 3DCentre explored GDDR7 capacity options fairly well, with a minimum density of 64Gbit and a maximum capacity of 8GB per chip. It’s safe to assume that the RTX 5090 won’t have a lot of VRAM, and appears to believe that the minimum configuration will remain at 16GB using 2GB modules.

When asked if cards such as the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 will have DisplayPort 2.1, Kopite7kimi gave a tick in response. Support for the video standard by Nvidia’s upcoming GPUs may indicate the release of a GeForce card with 8K 165Hz output, which is already present in the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, which was released last year.

The RTX 5090, the flagship card and likely the best graphics card when it launches, has sparked much tech community speculation. Nvidia 5000 graphics cards are popular.

We had high expectations for the RTX 5090, given its positive reviews, because the RTX 4090 was one of the best graphics cards of this generation. Nvidia Lovelace generation performance and finances have been inconsistent, putting pressure on the 5090 to perform well.

Until Nvidia makes an official announcement, it’s too early to tell if it will meet these expectations. Let’s discuss what’s known now due to leaks and rumors.

PS6: News, Price, Release Date, Specs

What the PS6 could be like... in 2028 The most latest PS5 simply came out in 2020, however, there’s never a bad time to discuss what’s coming next. The PS6, although nevertheless several years away, will hopefully let you greater easily increase internal storage, be slimmer than the PS5, have no disc drive, and (if we're allowed to dream) consist of enhancements like a wireless charging pad and modular improvement capabilities. When Will the PS6 Be Released? There's been discussion for years we will reach the end of the traditional game console. Could we see Sony downsize to a flash drive-like device that truly plugs into your TV, like Stadia, perhaps? Possibly. But except for any real data, let's assume, for now, the PS6 is actually in the pipeline. A new PlayStation has historically been released each and every several years. Since the PS3, Sony has provided a new console late in the year, so the equation is expected for the PS6. One indicator we will see a PS6 is Sony has already secured the trademark for this version up thru the PS10. This does not prove anything, of course, however it does hint at a future of some kind. In the meantime, if Sony follows the identical release schedule as the PS4, we’ll additionally see a PS5 Pro or Slim someday before the PS6. This may want to be around 2023. PS6 Features Any details stated about the PS6 at this stage are absolutely hopes and wishes. Some features, however, can be surmised really accurately simply due to the truth things do change with new iterations of a game console. Just do not take some thing too critically yet. Built-in wireless: Modern PlayStations connect to the internet wirelessly, and charging the console wirelessly would be awesome, too, no doubt. But what we're referring to right here is a bit extra realistic: an area at the pinnacle of the console, or possibly via an arm slideout, that can cost accessories. Put your phone on it, headphones, controllers, something which helps wireless charging. This would possibly look weird at first, however, leveraging the PS6's always-plugged-in state to cost your everyday products (and PS6 controller) would be great. Include the headset's wi-fi adapter in the console and you would be capable to ditch each the DualSense charging station and wireless USB dongle. Storage enhancements: If the internal tough drive isn't always giant enough for your needs, increasing the PS5 storage is possible, however now not easy. We're hoping Sony makes the internals of the PS6 extra reachable so swapping out the difficult drive for something greater is easier, like thru a plug-and-go model. Sure, you may want to use an exterior drive, however, you might not get whatever close to the read speeds you are used to with the inside NVMe SSD. If now not a new way to upgrade the drive, a greater SSD would suffice for most people. VR integration: This is the place gaming is headed. Right now, we have separate devices we have to purchase to hook up to our present computers and consoles to gain from virtual reality games. Maybe the PS6 is when Sony will lump motion controllers and headsets into the identical box as the console. You by no means know! Updated consumer interface: It's now not uncommon to see a refreshed consumer interface with a new model of any tech, especially when you are dealing with a console that has a cycle of 1/2 a decade. The PlayStation Store will actually be updated, hopefully with less complicated methods to navigate and get to the places you want to reach. Smaller design: The PS5 is tall. Depending on the place you have it sitting in the room, you and each person who glances over it is totally aware it is there. And maybe you like that, however, if not, a smaller console is in store. Hopefully, the PS6 downsizes a bit and it probably will, we do not anticipate an even larger one so that it will simply fit with your different items better. Modular upgrades: Breaking the PlayStation down into smaller components would imply every piece, when an upgrade is wanted or necessary, may want to be exchanged for a more recent one. Much like a standard PC, you may want to build on the console over the years as hardware improves, except having to purchase everything new every few years. Will this appear with the PS6? We can only hope. There are simply zero reasons to believe we are going to see it whenever soon, however, we can hope, right? Digital-only console: Akin to phones without a charging port or headphone jack, disc-less consoles don't seem to be for everyone, however, we may be moving in that direction. If you like to acquire physical games and movies, you would not be joyful with a PS6 that lacks disc support, however with faster internet speeds and an apparent go toward the whole thing streaming, it would make experience to, at least one day, remove the disc drive completely. https://twitter.com/Zuby_Tech/status/1435225403128492033 PS6 Price Rumors The final few consoles launched between $400 and $500 USD. Given the next-gen PlayStation is nonetheless quite a methods away, there’s no telling what kind of hardware, more features, or enhancements it should have that would sway its price one way or the other. For now, anticipate it ought to cost as much as $600. Pre-Order Information PS6 pre-orders will start sometime after the console's official announcement from Sony. We'll let you know what to expect when that time comes. PS6 Specs and Hardware The PlayStation 6 will certainly enhance in extra methods than the aspects listed above, however, given that we're several years out from launch, it is no longer very helpful proper now to guess what kind of hardware will be reachable then. In general, though, expect a PlayStation with an even faster, more-capable CPU and extra responsive controls. An entirely made-up, just-for-fun thought video launched via DZ Migo is essentially all we have at this point in terms of the PS6 design. Incomparable fashion to the creator's different far-out concepts, it shows the PS6 as rugged and dark, with elements most likely taken from various variations of the Xbox; starkly different from the PS5. There's another We'll know more about the console's design, games, backwards compatibility, the PS6 controller and headset, and more hardware details as we get closer to launch.

Playstation 6 | PS6 all information

When is the PS6 (PlayStation 6) is coming out? PS1 -> PS2 – 6yrs PS2 -> PS3 – 7yrs PS3 -> PS4 – 7yrs PS4 -> PS5 – 7yrs There is obviously nothing official, but  it will most likely be 7 years after the launch of the PS5 (period of November 2027.

I missed this, but apparently according to leak KH4 will be in 2025.

This seems to be consistent with a leak year prior:

****

Couple of points here:

**Neither leak explicitly states the release window, since 2025 can mean Japanese fiscal Q4 2025, which would be early 2026 (January-March 2026).

***Since the Reddit leak claims early 2025, though, this is likely referring to Q1 2025, so April-June 2025. This would be the same as FF 7 Remake (ie. the first game), but a bit later than usual for KH games, which have always been in Q3, or Q4. However, tentatively you can expect a January release like KH3, and KH2.8.

**As suggested by the leak, the game will be incredibly rushed, due to delays with Missing Link. So I would heavily advise against of you buying it at the release date, unless you want the pre-order merch (in which case, you may want to wait for a month before opening the case, as there will be lots of patches).

***Much like KH3, there will be a DLC obviously after a year, so there will be DLC era patches that will buff the game to a Final Mix-esque level. So again, at day one, you will be playing the inferior version of the product.

**This release window likely has to do with next Xbox coming in 2026. They would want to get this game out in the wild before that happens, so they can release next KH for both it, and PS6.

***Since this game's, and Missing Link's releases will be too close to each other, most of the important lore from Missing Link won't matter until DLC, and even then, won't really matter until the next game (which will likely be title for the next Nintendo console, not a main numbered title).

**Both leaks suggest you shouldn't expect much Disney stuff here. This game will be a smaller experience than usual, basically serving as the launching pad for KH5, where they will probably try to use new machine-learning techniques of the upcoming consoles. This game will just have really pretty lighting due to ray tracing.

***Also, don't expect really eye-popping textures, this will be Nomura's KH team's first Unreal Engine 5 game, so textures will look comparatively bad like first FF7R game. I'm not too optimistic about the model quality either, so don't be surprised if some enemy redesigns look a bit off (kind of inevitable due to different styles each KH game use for each world).

****

Either way, I'm glad we starting this new arc as soon as possible. KH5 now won't come about until 2031 earliest (especially since Missing Link's story will need to be completed, and Nintendo console, and new upcoming handhelds by Microsoft, and Sony will likely have their own games), and fans will complain about the handheld games as usual, so this will somewhat pacify them.

[tech-bored]

The newly created PS6 also comes with Power Rangers Theme. The new PS6 of the Power Rangers is black, with designs of the its five different colors, of which three are visible in the console. It is possible to choose the designs of the five characters, i.e. Black Ranger, Red Ranger, Pink Ranger etc. on top of just having it plain white on top. Featuring an improved controller, the DualShock 4 is easier to hold, especially for long sessions of game-play. With its motion sensors and touchpad integrated into the controller, it will make you feel like you are more within the game. The camera's more sensitive sensors allow for better tracking of your exact position, for seamless transitions between gameplay and menus, as well as making sure you don't accidentally mash buttons while playing.ps6 release date

OK Virtual-On fans time to start moaning at SEGA for a PS4 western release of the Masterpiece Collection and more!

Right, that trailer looks lovely doesn’t it? Three arcade perfect ports of all the Virtual-On arcade games in one shiny 4k PlayStation 4 package. Trouble is, it was released in Japan almost a year ago now and we still haven’t had one word of a possible release date in Europe or North America yet. Seeing as both SEGA of Europe and America failed to release the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the original Virtual On Cyber Troopers and Virtua Striker, gonna be honest it's not looking good.

SEGA have a long history of not releasing their Japanese games in the west. Their failure to do so has steadily damaged their brand and image over the years, hugely reducing their audience size as players become unaware of their games. With many gamers now born after SEGA's console glory days, they need to keep on top of their historical gaming library to keep awareness of it as much as possible.

How long must we wait to see this?

So not re-releasing collections of classic SEGA titles makes them look either incompetent, lazy or just don't care. Maybe all the Staff currently working in their western branches have never played or heard of Virtual-On? More realistic and if I put on my industry experience hat on, could well be SEGA don't want to fork out for the translation costs as they feel it won't sell that well in the west.

Trouble is even that's a really bad argument. As with the PlayStation 5 just around the corner, if you release on the PlayStation 4 now and have it set up to run on the PlayStation 5. Then you have an evergreen collection of the three Virtual-On arcade games for the lifespan of the PS4 & PS5. So you won't need to look at releasing again until the PS6 hits. Smart developers and publishers are also aware that you have a captive audience right at the start of a new console generation. Making it the perfect time to release new IPs or update and re-release old ones. Around a price point of £15-20 and I'd say you can't go wrong.

Atlus 2020 re-release of the SEGA Saturn classic Princess Crown on PlayStation 4 is also in the same boat right now and as SEGA now own Atlus! Well you know how this story goes...

OH SEGA! Why do you do this to yourself... Even SEGA's Mega Drive library collections have been underwhelming, every time they stick about 50 games on it and leave it there. Often we get stuck with the same turkey's in the collection time after time too, like Altered Beast. While high quality later Mega Drive titles like The Ooze and the Japanese only Pepenga Pengo are often totally ignored. Really SEGA need to re-release every SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis game they every did (legal issues allowing) on one of these MD collections or split it over a couple of packs if needed or even sell them singly, at say a £1-2 price point each.

Yes that is Sonic hiding in the crowd at the back of the box artwork for Pepenga Pengo

Certainly SEGA have missed a trick by not doing an open Mega Drive emulator software game, that would allow other developers like Electronic Art, Capcom, Namco to also release their old Mega Drive games on it as separate downloads to plug into the main game. Which would then allow SEGA to re-release just about every Mega Drive game on Modern systems. Bar all those old license sports games that would be a legal nightmare to re-release and many were just awful in the first place. Yes, Altered Beast should be re-issued every time, but not at the expense of better titles, fans just want them all. Doing this SEGA could well find some of their classic games and character gain a whole new legion of fans. That's not even talking about where are the Master System, Game Gear, Mega CD, 32X SEGA Saturn and Dreamcast retro collections or re-releases.

So if like us here at the Randomised Gaming team, you want to see the Virtual-On Masterpiece Collection get a release in the west on PlayStation 4 along with Princess Crown. You are going to have to shout about it.

So reblog and like this post and get tweeting, chatting on forums etc.. as the old saying goes if you don't ask you don't get! Let's go with #VirtualOnGoWest & #PrincessCrownGoWest as hash tags and see how many western Virtual-On fans are out there and Princess Crown ones who want these collections released here.
