Thousands Fooled by 'Insane' Sony Leak and Fake PS6 Reveal

Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, was recently flooded with PlayStation-based rumors stemming from a single post by the comedy outfit Mega64. On September 7, 2026, the group shared a provocative message stating that they were hearing 'insane leaks' about a huge upcoming Sony announcement scheduled for the following morning at 10 AM PT. While the post garnered hundreds of replies, many gaming-focused accounts with large followings and several websites treated the claim as a legitimate leak from a trusted source.

Basic research into Mega64 reveals that the group has been producing comedy for decades and frequently engages in pranks of this nature. The initial tease ultimately culminated in the release of a YouTube video titled 'PS6 Hardware Reveal Trailer,' which quickly accumulated 156,000 views. Riffing on Sony's decision to stop manufacturing PlayStation discs, the satirical video introduced an imaginary console with the tagline, 'No Physical Console. No Physical Limits. Imagine The Possibilities.'

The incident highlighted how rapidly baseless rumors can spread across social media platforms, with many users taking the prank at face value despite the comedy group's history. Following the reveal, a significant number of social media 'insider' posts concerning the supposed announcement were subsequently deleted.
