Should I stay on PC or move to PS5?

[ybg Moli]

Hey guys, i don't really know what to do.
I'm a huge PC Gaming fan, been playing on it for nearly 10 years now and I couldn't be happier honestly.

My main problem with the actual PC scene are the prices.

Yes, Steam has some amazing deals, but new AAA games are still expensive. On console, I can easily get some new games for 50, 40 bucks and resell them once I'm done with them. I have games in my steam library from like 2020/2017 that I just played for a little bit or finished them and never played them again lol.

GPUs are also getting expensive, but I don't mind buying on the second hand market so this isn't a huge issue for me.

What should I do? Stay on PC or move to console completely? PS5s go for 400€ and as I said physical games are extremely cheap.

Stay on PC. Don’t buy a goystation 5.

what do you priotize in games?

the main advantages for PC are:

-being able to mod games

-more variety of possible usable setups (can be shared across handhelds,desktops and laptops)

-free online multiplayer

while for a PS5:

-games likely require less setup

-might be smoother depending on the quality of specific PC ports in comparison to the console

-less cheaters online

Both?

[Kweeb]

Do you only play AAA games that are new? Try buying older video games...

Can say i am very happy with my PS5 and the backward compatibility, even with controllers. A truly great console imo. If you buy, be mindful of not buying the digital edtion nonsense but one with drive.

Advantages also include

Not having to buy the game more than once to get the enhanced eddition when the next generation console comes out...
Being able to play older video games from 10 years ago plus usually on the same device
Those two reasons are the main reasons I switched from console to PC about 4 years ago

hey man,

yeaaa im not interested in the ...... rip off value of GPU prices. if you try to get the latest model gpu, you're paying for a used car broski.

makes the console look better, and it does have really good power now, basically a mini pc just for gaming. mass production model cpu / gpu combo built for nothing but performance, high rendering and framerate.

so you dont need to deal with the tediums of design philosophy or component compatibility, and generally games built for the playstation run the best on the console compared to the pc port, in many cases, including the user experience (lag/network/etc) usually better on console.

i think its a decent move to make these days, you get a great system at a great value, sacrificing a little bit on the power supply quality and ram.

me personally, i just hate how the thing is totally jailed and offers zero user control outside of what they give you. reminds me of apple, and i just can't stand that product philosophy. i desire more control, so i stay with pc.

hope that info helped you some.

PC is better if you want to play Xbox games, use game pass or emulate.

[HypersleepyNaputunia]

Pretty happy with switch, can play new games like hogwarts legacy and even has digital store where you can buy $5 on sale stuff if uou dont want cartridge price.

[Dracoco OwO]

Play PS5 if it's more affordable somehow i guess and if there are the games you are interested on it, that's how we proceeded back then.

stay on pc

console future seem to be dark, i dont see improvment since 2013

also it depend your pc we dont know the pc you have

so if you use rtx gpu dont buy ps5 you only waste your money

[FafnirChaos]

I mean people do downgrade in life. No one can tell you not too, as it's 100% up to you.

There are bundles of steamkeys about! Deals all around you!!! Seriously though it's cheaper on PC than console. I have both the Series X and PS5. I'd personally recommend to go with PS + PC combo. But be aware you gotta pay to play online games...(with the exception of free games).
