Does anybody have info from Microsoft or Sony on what their new consoles
are doing regarding IPv6? My informant has moved on and is out of the loop
regarding the PS5's software innards.

The Xbox One supports IPv6, and I believe it did so at launch 7 years
ago.  I expect that back-compat Xbox 360 games don't get the IPv6
support, but I've never checked myself.  I'd assume that since the
7-year-old console supports IPv6, the launching-in-6-weeks console will
too.
