PlayStation 5
The PlayStation 5 was developed by Sony as the successor to the
The PlayStation 5 was launched with two models. The base model includes an optical disc reader for most disc formats including Blu-ray, UHD Blu-ray, and retail PlayStation 5 games. A cheaper Digital model lacks the disc reader, but otherwise is equivalent to the base model. Both models support expanded memory options to store games and other data onto external drives, thus allowing players to obtain and store games through online distribution via the PlayStation Store. The PlayStation 5 has mostly complete backward compatibility with PlayStation 4 games, with only a limited number of games not currently supported on the console,[22] while the PlayStation Now cloud service is available for users to play games from the older PlayStation consoles.[23]
Mid-generation revision of both PlayStation 5 models were announced in late 2023, both unofficially considered the PlayStation 5 Slim. The units are to replace the two original PlayStation 5 models; both will have a slimmer design as well as 1 TB of internal storage and additional USB ports. The more expensive model includes an optical disc drive, while the second model, the Digital Edition, will not ship with a drive, though an drive expansion kit will be available to users.[24][25]
Xbox Series X and Series S
The Xbox Series X/S is the successor to the Xbox One and was released on November 10, 2020, in select regions.[26][27] Microsoft followed the Xbox One's dual console models: a high-end line (the Series X comparable to the Xbox One X), and a cheaper model (the Series S comparable to the Xbox One S).[28] The performance goal for the Xbox Series X was about four times that of the Xbox One X,[29] but without sacrificing game development for the lower-end Xbox Series S.[28]

Nintendo Switch
Despite being a holdover from the eighth-generation, the Nintendo Switch has been positioned by sources as a primary competitor to other ninth-generation consoles, due to its continued hardware and software support as of 2024.[7][8][51] The financial failure of Nintendo's first eighth-gen console, the Wii U, resulted in the Switch's relatively late release in the eighth-generation, being released in March 2017.[52][53] An "OLED Model" revision was released on October 8, 2021, introducing an updated design and improved display, though it did not introduce any performance improvements.[54] Additionally, commercial performance of Switch-exclusive titles have remained high during the ninth-generation, with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (2022) and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (2023) both achieving 10 million units sold in its first three days after release.[55][56]
Steam Deck and handheld gaming PCs
On February 25, 2022, Valve released the Steam Deck, a handheld gaming PC that runs SteamOS 3.0, a Linux distribution developed by Valve. The Deck includes Valve's own Proton compatibility layer, allowing nearly all Windows-based games to run on the Deck without modification. The handheld also allows users to install Windows or other software on the device. The Steam Deck was the first handheld to use an RDNA 2 GPU, which is also used on both the home consoles of the ninth generation.[57] The handheld was well received by many outlets, with an overall praising of its extensive game compatibility and portability.[58][59] A previous Linux-based handheld gaming computer, the Pandora, had been released during the seventh generation, with the DragonBox Pyra still in development.
The success of the Steam Deck led to the growth of the handheld gaming PC market and to the creation of direct competitors, such as the Asus ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, MSI Claw A1M, and the Ayaneo running Microsoft Windows. This had been previously been explored by the GPD Win and GPD Win 2 through to the current GPD Win Max.
Cloud gaming platforms
Cloud gaming has become part of the gaming landscape with Stadia and Amazon Luna being introduced in November 2019 and October 2020, respectively. As well as GeForce Now coming out of its four years of beta in February 2020. None of these systems have had any financial breakthrough as home video game consoles, but they are viable for multi platform ninth generation games.[60] Google, having failed to find a large player base, shut down Stadia on January 19, 2023.[61]
Cloud gaming has also been used by Microsoft as part of its gaming subscription service,
The continued growth of cloud gaming services has inspired the development of handhelds like the Logitech G CLOUD Gaming Handheld[65] and Razer Edge,[66] which advertise cloud streaming as a key selling point.
Virtual reality headsets
The ninth generation continued the trend of virtual reality. The previous generation mainly consisted of VR accessories made for mobile games (such as Google's Cardboard/Daydream and Samsung's Gear VR) or computers (HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift).[67][68] This generation has started to offer standalone headsets dedicated to virtual reality games. The Meta Quest Pro was released in 2022.[69] Additions in 2023 included the PlayStation VR2 (a PS5 accessory serving as a sequel to 2016's PlayStation VR) and the Meta Quest 3.[70] 2024 also saw Apple's entry into the market with the release of the Apple Vision Pro.[71][72]
