if you want to keep your sanity intact, don't buy the game for PC. controls are awful because fromsoft doesn't know how to port a game properly.

And this one is worse than usual not even Sekiro was this bad.

As a person that plays on both Platform.

If your PC is decent or not that good. You will get more frames drop than the PS5.
The PS5 performance wise is marginally better but the PC is much smoother with a higher FPS. Graphically, it wouldn't if you play on High settings on PC.

Now...the real kicker. PS5 has a noticeable input lag. You won't notice it at start, but once you get used to playing the game you will definitely notice it. It took me 60 hours at least when I fought the Second Leyndall Capital Boss that the input lag exists. Input lag is hardly noticeable on PC and I use the same PS5 controller on PC.

Not everyone has this but Elden Ring on PC is very inconsistent when it comes to performance. On one hand I play the game very well, except it crashes my entire PC that it resets itself. On the other my friend doesn't get a crashed PC but just a lot of optimization stutters. A person on discord has a flawless experience.

If you want a more consistent experience and to share the game with your friends get the PS5.
If you want mods or easy access to co-op for PC friends and the easy utility of being on a computer for research. Then PC.

My personal recommendation. PS5. The performance is mostly flawless.

Yes the input lag is something of a chore to fix, but at least FromSoftware has acknowledged it. I anticipate an update soon to address this one issue!

Wish I could own a beefy PC and a current gen console at once too. heh.

Don't bother with PC version, it's hot trash and i regret not getting PS5 version instead

try on you main playing one , if it is pc opt for it if you did not like it you can still refund it for less than 2h ingame play

If you have PSN, get it on PS5. If not, your PC spec is actually good enough to play. You do want the multiple player feature for certain quest.

[mpcgannon]

I personally prefer backwards compatibility.

PC version is not fixed yet stay clear out of it i have high end setup and still have stuttering and frame drops

[NimBold]

Sadly the PC version is not well optimized. Eventually, you will play the game but on a non-stable fps between 45 to 60 even if you have a 3090.
I love the game to my bones but the the optimizations for PC version is really bad. Not on No Man's Sky level crap, but on something like Cyberpunk 2077 when launched.

[I would luck me]

It's not a terrible port, but it has its flaws. This game was made for PS5, though.

I got the pc version so i can play online without having to pay extra

Has some problems, personally i never encountered anything bothering me too hard, there were some frame drops at the first enemy of the game (tree sentinel), that they mostly fixed and i didnt find anything big since then

You can just try it out (2hours max) and refund it if it runs too badly for you

[jabba the punk]

Its a real shame this game is yet to be properly optimized for PC. I'm literally wanting to give my money for this game but I refuse to do so until its a proper experience.

I could always just purchase it on XBSX but I really want to run it on PC.

- PC has the poor DX12 implementation, it can and it should be fixed... but who knows when

- PS5 gets a somewhat reduced framerate (compared to a similar PC), nothing too serious

If you don't mind paying for PS+ then go for the PS5 version to avoid Easy Anti Cheat and stuttering, the game was originally planned and built for the PS5 and then ported to the rest of platforms.

PS5, PC version still has stutter and crash issues, buy PC after they release patches.
