Based on a statement by tecnoblog.com, it seems that the Sony PlayStation 5 will support Wi-Fi 6 as well as Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, which not only allows for a much faster download speed over Wi-Fi but also much better stability. To those who are not familiar with Wi-Fi 6, it allows the transfer of data up to 32 times faster compared to Wi-Fi 4 that’s supported by the Sony PlayStation 4.

The new Wi-Fi 6 standard has recently been unveiled which is not only backwards compatible with previous Wi-Fi standards, but it is also able to achieve up to 1.5Gbps based on a test conducted by CNET. To put it into perspective, CNET managed to download all 22 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies in 4k resolution in less than 2 hours and 20 minutes.
