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.

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.

[@Remmy0930]

@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]

@@Remmy0930 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.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

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.

[@matthewhardwick8208]

I just hope they scrap the mid gen upgrades this time around. The PS4 was under powered when it launched but the PS5 still has a lot of potential. There is no need for another $500-600 system especially at a time when everyone is hit hard financially. If you need to just release a PS5 Slim hopefully with a slight price decrease.

[@shecklesmack9563]

That seems very possible for the reasons you mentioned, but also because the last mid-generation refreshes were mainly for 4K but PS5 already has it and beyond that performance/power is reaching diminishing returns to where it’s hard to imagine something coming out within the PS5’s lifespan that would actually seem worth the upgrade. Going the PS3 route and just releasing cheaper redesigns seems like that best thing to do.

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.

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.

The question should be the other way around. Is it worth getting a gaming PC rather than the PS5. And the answer simply is no. A gaming PC will cost you north of 2000$(CAD). For the amount of money you put into a gaming PC having negligible (often not noticeable) differences in visuals and fps comparing to a 500$ console is insane. Especially now that consoles have VRR, HDR, 120fps. Games are much better optimized on a console. Furthermore, PCs are bound by consoles. You can get the best graphics card on PC yet the only difference you will see is a slight FPS bump and unnoticeable visuals. Developers will make sure that the game runs smoothly on the lowest denominator, which is consoles. There was a time where I would say that PC is worth it, but as of today, they are overpriced and a rip off. Especially in the monitor category. TVs perform better nowadays, especially OLEDs like the LG C2, where it comes in 42 inches. In addition, there is a big convenience factor. I could sit on couch comfortably, press a button, and play on my 75 inch HDR, VRR, 120fps capable tv without having to worry about drivers, graphics settings, crashes, bugs, etc. The only justification that I see for a gaming PC is if you want to play games that are not available on consoles. Like AOE, CSGO, Civilization. Other than that, they are a rip off.

This video has aged badly. The PC has the grunt, but not the data throughput from the mass storage. PS5 is designed to efficiently stream games with lots of detail and complex animations in real time. It can replace the contents of the RAM in the time it takes to turn around in game. That requires data and game assets to rapidly stream from mass storage (SSD) to RAM via a dedicated decompression chip, ready for the GPU to render the next frame. PS5 SSD is 2x faster than PC, so when PS5 games get ported to PC they suffer stutter as the GPU waits for data as you move around fast. Tfops grunt cannot cure that. It's a data throughput issue. Recent PC ports from PS5 are starting to show this problem. Devs are struggling to fit games that are designed to stream rapidly on the fly to a PC. PC gamers are blaming PC devs for lazy bad ports, but they have a massive problem. Digital Foundry have Alex blaming shader compilation stutters and idol cores for the lame PC ports. The master race is freaking out. "We are the best, why are we the worst." You can thank Mark Cerny for that. The man is a genius. He thought outside the box and concluded that you can get a massive leap in efficiency via data throughput, not by adding ever more GPU grunt. When I see games created for PC, I see crude jerky animations and dense detailed photo realistic renderings of the surrounding scene. But move through an open world fast and you start to see the stutter at key points as the RAM needs replacing with new assets. PC gamers like to use games as rendering tech simulators to demo ray tracing etc, wowing over static scenes and crawling through forests at none gaming speeds. PS5 gamers want to play the actual games and that requires rapidly moving around with the graphics rendering efficiently as they play. PS5 does that task fluidly. It's a cutting edge hardcore gamers machine. PS5 gamers are not IT tech nurds. They want the game to play perfectly without having to even think what's under the hood, let alone start fiddling with it trying to get the game to work like PC.

Whereas a console will have the same lifespan or even longer until a new gen console releases, and it's only $500(for me in my area). Plus, GOW is a must for me. And I don't want to wait 2 years for a port. I think I'm sold on buying this console. Also, I love using a keyboard and mouse with certain games, as I'm sure so many of you do as well. My friend told me that PS5 has keyboard and mouse support for certain games. Hopefully, this catches on more and becomes more popular with future releases.

A gaminng notebook with a 1060 vs a pc with a 1060 are vastly different. The pc would still be viable, but you would for sure lose mobilty. But you also would with a console

Doesn't ps5 with keyboard and mouse have noticeable delay

[@jamestkirkcameron9189]

@@Nesa.007 that’s a great question. I haven’t played anything with keyboard mouse, yet.

[@Nesa.007]

@@jamestkirkcameron9189 yeah there are very few games with compatability

The generation hasn't even really begun. It's only up from here. But I guess everyones definition is different but I don't consider the ps5/xbox series x to be equivalent to a mid tier pc. I see it more so Low-mid tier. To me a mid tier PC is along the lines of a rtx 3070. I play on PC, have both xbox and ps5 controllers. I don't personally like the haptic feedback or vibration so I disabled them all, had a $300 ps5 AIM controller built and personally am not a fan of playstation controllers. Those two controllers sit on my desk and I use my xbox AIM controller, especially for first person shooters.

[@mr.darknight416]

Agreed I often turn vibrations off or turn them down a bit, and I find xbox controllers more ergonomic and fits better, but in terms of technology dualshocks 5 are ahead. And I dont really see these consoles as mid tier PCs, since mid tier starts with atleast a 3070 and ps5 or xbox sx is definitely not on par with a 3070

[@KopfdesRiesen]

Lol 3070 mid tier? I guess if you update frequently but still a 3070 can get you a ps5. The ps5/xseries is unbeatable at 500 because of the immense praise hike that happened. Midrange ( xx60) and down is dead.

I play fighting games so Xbox controllers kinda suck ass for that

[@JerichoTheCity]

The exclusives just don't justify spending $500 + the cost of the actual games. I want to play the games, but by the end of the console generation, I'm gonna have like 8 games total in my library. My backlog of games is so vast so I can wait for ports, and I can eventually get it for free when it's on pc via being a pirate. But in the end, this is just me being poor and coping.

Being a patient gamer saves a crap ton of money...and it's not like there are no games on PC....and that too fully patched and running SMOOTH for a fraction of the launch price......provided you are fine with "old" graphics. There is absolutely no need to join the dick swinging competition of flaunting the baddest gfx card that you have in your system.

[@fabolousjada5070]

Yes it does 😂 what justifies pc 3k rig to play 4k 60 frames AAA ? And not even optimized ? Oh and the 2k on the oled that’s 4k and you haven’t even bought a game yet on pC 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@fabolousjada5070]

@@main_stream_media_is_a_joke and the ps plus is really good now not on gamepass level but 80 percent there

[@Firestorm2056]

Were you always a PC gamer? If not, you’re full of shit, because as a fellow convert, the reason I got a PC was because of the PC exclusives.

I play AAA games I got a ps5 and a 48inch LGc2 for $1600 I'm happy it's also good with a 1440p monitor I will build later
