PS5 vs PC
Is there any reason why a PS5 version owner would want to upgrade to the PC version?

Realistically I would imagine only if you would prefer to play with keyboard and mouse but I think you can even do that with the PS5, but idk I dont have a console.

Maybe cant always game on one so best to have it on both.

Or just to support the devs I guess too.

PC version is capable of looking a lot better and running smoother (if you have the specs.) Also has ultrawide monitor support, Dolby Atmos, benchmark capabilities, etc.

If you want to play Co-Op with your friends that have the game on PC and don't have a PS5.
Why would anyone want a limited, proprietary console which is guaranteed to be replaced in 5 years?

I own the ps5 version and own the pc and the pc is just better with the latency and kb and mouse and playing on a 7900 xtx.

I'm not sure why people are making any sort of deal about this. It doesn't launch any full-blown application. If the word "Epic" hurts you...then I supposed the >2 seconds it appears during load and the Ultra settings being "Epic" are definitely red flags to avoid.

I'm on year 6, running this game on ultra in 1440p. I don't anticipate needing to update for another few years. However, I wouldn't be surprised if my mobo will need a cheap replacement to limp along the last year or so.

My last PC I got 8 years out of and only upgraded because it was a high end 1080p setup and I hit mid 30's and wanted a larger, clearer picture.

If you can run it, and plan on playing it.. Only you can decide if something is truly "worth it."

haven't pulled the trigger to buy this yet on PC... could be a different Re-Experience on Mouse and Keyboard. i sunk 2000 hours on Ps5 version. keyboard and mouse experience wouldn't hurt

yeah but you can replace whenever. Always more options to tailor your gaming experience to your build/preferences, be it powerful or a potato. PC just better. Always go PC over console. You can be a casual PC gamer... Hook it up to your TV. yadayadayada/

Listen I love my PC but this tired argument is DOA at this point... consoles are in the $5-600 range and significantly outperform PCs anywhere near that price range.

If you think PCs aren't getting long in the teeth performance-wise at 5+ years of lifespan than your system is getting dumpstered on by new consoles anyways.

I own both but I barely played ps5 version because I figured it would be more fun for me to play with keyboard and mouse back when it was leaked that it was coming to PC (quite a while ago)
