Is the PlayStation 5 Worth it in 2023? A PC Players Perspective

Sony has announced the ‪@PlayStation‬ 5 shortage is finally over after a little over 2 years since launch. The questions now is should you get a playstation 5 if you've been on the fence or if you're like me and mainly play on PC? Let me know what you think about the current state of the playstation 5 and if the exclusives are enough to sway you into getting one right now.
*Amazon still has you request to get one so I'm not sure how much longer that will be the case.

[@DeltaBugles]

As mainly a PC gamer, I don’t see enough people mention the big differentiator for PS5 or any console being the convenience. The one-button and go ability of consoles, especially the current gen, is utterly unmatched when looking at a PC. If you want raw unlocked performance, PC. If you want a no frills couch convenient experience, console. It’s that simple.

[@Konk89]

Cost is a big factor too. For an extra $100 my CPU and heatsink upgrade into my AM4 could have been the PS5 disc drive version. I am strongly considering a PS5 if these new releases stay as poorly optimized on PC as they have been. My 5700 XT is at best on par with a PS5 and I'd have to spend PS5 AND XSX pricing to get a 4070 ti.

[@RemmyRiffs]

@Konk89 As both a PC and PS5 player it's extremely difficult dropping all the way down to a measly 60FPS. A PS5 is nice to have, but don't ever think your missing out on much. PC will alway's reign supreme. I'm soooo used to high FPS on my PC now that 60FPS feels sooooo sluggish.

[@DeltaBugles]

@@RemmyRiffs I don’t disagree. Getting games cheaper knowing they will run better I think more than beats out the convenience factor.

[@WAJU4]

@@Konk89 I Have both Ps5 and PC and I truly believe the reason why they are been poorly optimized its because they want to force people into Buy the new Gen consoles so bad,when in Reality both ps5 and xbx are not stronger than a 3070 nor 3080..but its crazy because now they be asking for 32GB of Ram for these new games lol.

[@1234isro9986]

Price is a big factor between consoles and a PC. I may have to spend > 3x of PS5 to get a decent PC which can run all games at 60 FPS, 1440p. I have a gaming laptop which I bought 3 years ago and it cost me $1100 and now it barely runs 60 FPS of previous year's games with medium - high settings. Also, sometimes games on PC are choppy for whatever reasons. However, price of games and mods makes PC gaming a compelling contender.

No disrespect meant, honestly sir but the stand is required for PS5. You're blocking the air vents at the bottom from dispersing the heat from the console. You may be having issues but you will. Sony states right in the instructions that the stand is required or malfunction can occur.

[@gagooooooooooooooo]

I subbed for the Below Zero experimental vids a while ago but this video popped up in my notifications so I thought I'd check it out. Your overall video quality has really stepped up since then and even since last year. Studio looks nice too! I actually bought an ergochair a little while after your review and I'm still using it to this day. Really like it. Only problem I have had is with the headrest. It's been starting to crack at the base recently but it's held up well otherwise.

Thank you 🙏🏼 My ergo 2 chair has a crack on the left arm rest unfortunately. Not sure what happened.

[@LookItIsHope]

The PS5 for me was really under consideration at one point in time, but it was so hard to obtain for so long, I just built a gaming pc instead. I had already done a little pc gaming before that point (had a gaming laptop) & I was interested in pc gaming before the PS5 showed up, but those stock issues is when I sealed the deal for good. Now my pc library is massive in comparison to my console libraries & I have a gaming laptop (that I got for cheap) & a Steam Deck that all sync with each other, it's hard to consider anything but pc gaming at this point. Still, I'll admit I get the urges of wanting a PS5. I grew up with the Sony consoles after all (& Nintendo too). I was a console player for a majority of the time I called gaming my hobby, so the thought comes to mind from time to time. I still consider pc gaming the best for me, but man, sometimes the urge is strong for the PS5. Won't give in on that thought tho. I'll be patient for PS5 ports making their way to PC, even if they tend to take years.

[@LookItIsHope]

@@missrochelle1126 The Steam Deck does not go up to 120fps, it only has a 60hz screen. If you want a 120hz screen on a handheld for playing in bed, the new ROG Ally has that covered. I don't have a ROG Ally myself, so I can't speak of experiences with the device, but that's the device you'd want if you want the possibility of 120fps.

[@angelopebs]

Honestly with your setup you’re already self aware and I’ll have to agree with your assessment. Getting a Ps5 right now isn’t too feasible or even a good investment unless you have the cash to burn just for the exclusives.

[@robertoramosaguilu7314]

Man, im right there with you. Same story from console to pc and is really hard to go back. Grew up with NES and PSX. Saw a PS5 today and the urge was there. Im on the same boat and trying to wait for PS5 games to get on pc. We need Ghost of Tushima as soon as possible.

[@sadisticD]

From your video and reading the comments it's not just opening up sales to the PC market, it's actually opening up console sales. It's genius to release great games on Steam with their sequels not out. I feel like we're not the only ones that broke down and just got a PS5 for the next instalment.

[@itsjusterthought7941]

Sony marketing gave you the first game as a sampler, then said if you want the improved sequel, you have to join the club and buy a PS5. That is Playstation. Finely crafted exclusive games for members of the club. The model works because game quality and innovation are preserved for consumers willing to pay for quality. Xbox is going the opposite direction. Consumers don't want to pay for the games and the quality is dropping. MS will eventually drop the consoles and stream budget games via a Game Pass app on every device to 2 million noob casuals on TV, PC and mobile phone.

[@sadisticD]

@@itsjusterthought7941 It is finely crafted marketing and a $500 box to join the club. That being said I can be pretty patient and I don't doubt Ragnarok will be on PC probably next year sometime. If I had wanted to wait, wasn't going to be in need of a PC upgrade soon, and wasn't interested in other games like FF16 and the FF7 Remake series I wouldn't have bought one. Because I was in that perfect storm moment though I figured why not and I've been pretty happy with that choice ever since.

[@grzyruth9205]

Honestly, with how popular consoles are, most developers will probably optimize their ray tracing around these consoles. Since the PS5 is basically a PC using no unique architecture I imagine console optimization will translate to PC. These machines will stay relevant probably for the next 5 or 6 years.

[@SavantGardeEX]

"No unique architecture" blud the SSD I/O throughput is unique...

[@PurushNahiMahaPurush]

Dude the PS5 has a unique power management and has custom hardware for SSD I/O. It has built in hardware for decompression which leads to pretty much instant decompression and transfer of game data to RAM. Also, PCs do not have unified memory unlike consoles. The consoles are similar but not exactly like PCs. Sony and MS has done a lot of customisations to remove common bottlenecks that happen during gaming.

[@Amarzofficial]

[@ralphdailey9503]

There are multiple reasons that I prefer gaming on PC over console. If I had to pick the biggest reason, it would be the infinite backward compatibility and forward compatibility of the games.

Hell No! Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is unplayable in Breach unless in 60 FPS. Medal of Honor Airborne is unplayable, even BF 2042 crashes all damn time. AC: Origins needed to be moved to Local Disk C to work on Steam. Little shit like this that adds up and worsens your days.

[@dylanzachary683]

Considering the best performing graphics card you can get today is like $2,000 I would say a ps5 for $500 is more than worth it and this is also coming from a pc gamer who is fed up with the pc component market

[@tafarimakonnan1763]

Depends on the country you live in. In my country you have to spend all east 900us for a ps5 while an rx6800xt which is atleast twice as fast (probably even more than that due to clock speeds) cost from 500 to 600. If you already have a pc with a pretty wide library of games I think you are better of upgrading cpu and gpu for a little bit more than the ps5. Keep in mind if you buy the console the latest titles can cost up to 70 dollars without sale and you have to pay for multiplayer.

[@TotemoGaijin]

@@tafarimakonnan1763 US prices has the cheapest version of the RX6800XT at around $550 or so, not to mention any other components you might also need. After the third cheapest card, they all jump to above the $700 line.

@TotemoGaijin you could use a ryzen 5600x or non x and 32gb ddr4 and you have a great system for about $1200

@@tafarimakonnan1763 Yeah, you could, but at that point you've also gone double the price of a PS5.

Cool video. Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart and Returnal use the haptic feedback on the controller quite well and are also exclusive. Returnal is on PC as well. While not exclusive anymore, Ghostwire Tokyo also has pretty good use of the PS5 controller. Demon's Souls is not too bad either. Gran Turismo 7 is supposed to be pretty good, but I am not a car person. I would say that right now, Sony's exclusive portfolio is bigger than what Xbox has. Microsoft might have 25 studios due to the acquisitions, but how many of these studios have games out that ACTUALLY show off what the Xbox can do? Not too many. Maybe in 2025 or 2026, when some of these studios bare fruit, then things will change. As of right now in the console space, PS5 leads the way.

[@ibannash]

Hate to say it, but if you're looking for games that will take advantage of the hardware, you're better off getting a ps5. The series s is holding games back from being at the level if the series x due to the spec difference. Look no further than the issues around Baldur's Gate 3.

Great and unbiased video but I'm sticking with the new GPU I think. The only exclusive games that really excite me are FF7 episode 2 and Bloodborne. I use to have a ps4 for the latter but it broke. Heard the ps5 has better load times for it but man nothing else interests me so the only other appeal for console is the shoddy state of pc ports lately. Its just something I cope with, considering fixes usually come, but waiting sucks. I just can't imagine playing strategy games or old classics like Baldurs Gate on a console. The variety and options of pc plus emulation is what draws me and then there's modding. Still sucks that I gotta wait two years for FF7:Rebirtth and FF16, the closest I'll ever get to Bloodborne on pc is Lies of P until ps5 emulation comes along but that front isn't looking too good right now but its a matter of time...probably 7-10 years. tl; dr I begrudgingly prefer pc

Which a p5 can't do you can't game so competitively on PS5 at least vs PC players

[@jesusorona9692]

i've tested loading times against a pc with the latest parts and my ps5 beats the pc loading time by at least 10 seconds and the processing speed of the ps5 is actually insane for a console that's worth 500, is it worth it? most definitely i own one and i can tell you i played the newest re4 remake and the game plays really fucking well and ive never had issues with loading or booting up console, mind you it also has the resume where you left feature where it can be turned off and when you turn it back on it allows you to continue the game where you left off, and even changing between games is faster than pc literally by the press of 2 buttons instead of having to close the game manually inside the main menu like on pc unless you force close, but performing wise the ps5 matches up there to a pc in my opinion because it gvives you the fraction of a what a pc cost but it also gives you the most out of your money, you'll never have issues unless it's with game bug issues and at that point it's up to the developer of the game to fix the bugs, other than that if you're looking into buying the ps5 do it because we also have a bunch of games in the ps catalog you can play games like jak and daxter, all the resident evil games, all god of war games, it's endless fun and nostalgia and ps has better discounts than pc i saw that call of duty was slightly cheaper on ps5 than pc when it was on sale

I wish the PS5 had AMD Freesync. I have no idea why they didn't include that like Xbox did. I can't get VRR if I wanted to use a fast 1080p monitor to be competitive, but I could if I had an Xbox. Sony needs to step it up for their next consoles.

Kinda difficult to compare. If you know what you do and build the system yourself, a PC that outperforms the ps5 is around 800€ where I live. The PS5 here is 550€. Yes, the console is cheaper, but ps+ is more than 50€/year. So, the point where you break even is after 5 years. Probably sooner, because you can buy a lot of games with huge discounts on PC. Not to mention all the other advantages of PC. But there is nothing wrong with buying a console if ease of use is the most important for you.

I have a PS5 and a 7900xt PC (yes- high end pc). I split my time 50/50 between them. My only rule is that a game on console must be 60fps minimum or else its not even a consideration. Wireless Dualsense (need a wire for PC for full functions), it just works, and games (especially Sony 1st party) can rival the looks of games on my high-end PC. Plus-, there is something nice about still owning physical games. You don't need to worry about lost licenses or a storefront deciding what you need to still be active on your PC etc.

[@JammyGuns]

The problem with PC gaming (for me) is that it's almost all entirely digital now, usually on Steam. You don't really have control over a digital piece of media, you don't have something you can preserve and/or sell on etc. On the other hand where PC shines is in oddball, quirky hit indie titles (like Phasmophobia, Grounded, The System Shock remake etc) or the amazing modding community that can do wild things not possible on console e.g making Alien Isolation run in VR etc. It's great for things like that or very cheap deals but for my bigger AAA purchases I usually go for the PS5 now. My Steam library literally cost thousands and yet I don't really own any part of it...

[@1UpNerdcore]

Most things have gone digital and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. The big sales you get on PC are great but you can’t trade them in. The couple bucks you get off trade ins compared to the advantages of what you can do on a PC isn’t worth it to me personally. Where consoles shine is the exclusives and ease of use. Just hoping into a game quickly is what makes it so convenient compared to a pc.

[@JoelFerris3D]

Reading these comments, I find it hard to believe that no one has yet mentioned the exclusive. Sure, I wish exclusives weren't a thing, but these businesses have to compete somehow, and Sony has grown custom to the fact they develop outstanding original story based games like God Of War, Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima, Spiderman, TLoU, Uncharted etc. Sure, I get that some are releasing on PC and you could just wait, but I think that is very much down to preference, and if you have the money to spare and you're an avid gamer, then it's a no brainer.

I’m currently debating on either getting a 6800xt+monitor upgrade or a 6650xt+PS5. Been playing wow classic for the past 2 years with friends and am getting bored. My hand me down gtx 780 just died, so I kind of need to make a decision. I sit at a desk at work all day and coming home to sit at a desk again kind of sucks. Connecting my pc to my living room tv would solve that, but it’s on the complete opposite side of the house. The biggest draws for me right now on PS5 is the Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy 7:Rebirth. Plus playing the new EA PGA Tour/FIFA games, from the couch on a 75”, is a big bonus as well. The Final Fantasy games may come out on PC later, and with better versions. FF15: Royal Edition and FF7:R Intergrade are proof of this. Plus free online play on PC is an oldie but goody. Been a console gamer my whole life, since the Atari/NES days. I’ve dabbled in entry level PC gaming every bit an the, but always go back. Do I continue the cycle or finally go all in? Lol If you had an 600-800 budget, which would you chose?

[@kitsu0099]

Another thing I forgot to mention about PS exclusives/AAA titles, is even thought they are all amazing design+stories, gameplay wise they are all the same game. I got burned out playing them on my PS4. Went from God of War, to Horizon Zero Dawn, to Ghost of Ysushima, to Spider-Man, to Tomb Raider, and then to AC:Valhalla, which I finally had enough. These are all the exact same game, just a different theme. Every AAA single player game is basically a clone of the OG Assassin’s Creed, which you can say is a clone of GTA3. Even the new Zelda’s follow the same formula. Open world, get to the high point to remove fog from the map, do some some repetitive side quests, upgrade weapons/skills, find collectibles, advance story, stronger foes arrive, rinse and repeat in the new zone.

I'm tired of playing at my desk and want to play more comfortably on the TV. Now I have 2 options: 1. use the high-end PC on both the bedroom TV and the desk monitor 2. Use the PS5 for couch gaming (bed gaming) and the PC only for desk gaming? To use the PC even on the big TV I would always connect a 5 meter (16.40 ft) long HDMI whenever I want to play. The PC is on the desk but since the TV is in the same room with a long HDMI I can connect the PC to it. On the one hand I like the plug and play idea of ​​PS5 on the TV and not having to connect the HDMI to the TV every time. On the other hand, I would hate to have an RTX 3090 and not use it, to play with the lower performance of a PS5.
