SingStar: Next Gen (working title) is a forthcoming competitive karaoke game for the PlayStation 3 console. It is a follow-up to the PlayStation 2 game SingStar. It is being developed and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The game is planned for release as a launch title for the PS3 in PAL territories, and shortly after in North America.

My SingStar is the online component of SingStar, where the players can access different types of songs in a shop called "Sing Store" and download them onto their PS3 (for a small fee) to sing with. The Sing Store will launch with over 350 songs on day one, and continue to grow after that point. All downloadable music videos will be in high definition. It has been reported that the game will ship with just 10 songs on the disc (compared to the original SingStar's 30), and will include points that can be redeemed to download further songs from the Sing Store.

Using the PS3 Camera, the player can record their photos or videos of themselves, their singing or their "SingStar Apartment" and upload them onto the servers. It has been described as 'MySpace meets iTunes'.

You can upload your vocal performances, and the developers hope to have contests based around top scores and offer prizes.

The game will ship with an unconfirmed amount of Bluetooth microphones which are silver and branded with the "SingStar" name.
