I've had a PS5 for like a year and it's not worth it if you already own a PC. Decided to get an Xbox later on because it has a better integration with PC through cloud saves and gamepass.
The overal winner when it comes to exclusives however is the Nintendo Switch.
It very much depends on what you want to get out of it. If you know there’s going to be games you want to play on it, and you don’t want to deal with the hurdles that come with a PC then getting a PS5 is still a good purchase in my opinion
If you're into action RPGs and or fighting games I say go for it. Especially if Trump's tariffs go as he says they will, because then the PS5 could become even more expensive
I bought it solely for FFVII Rebirth and don’t regret a thing. But unless there’s something you’re crazy about, I’d hold off. Most of what I have on my PS5 is just games that also released for the PS4.
I realized every game I really like is also on PC:
Crisis Core, FF7R (FF7R2 in 2025), FFXVI, Trails of *inhales deeply* Zero/Azure/Cold Steel 1-4/Reverie/Daybreak...
my bf and i were on the fence. decided to wait and save for a PC bc we have an xbox and only wanted it for the exclusives. they need to fix the multiple issues w the console they marked up bc "covid" and then never lowered the price for. marketed as vertical but breaks if set up like that?!?

If you mainly play shooters/multiplayers tho… you ain’t really missing much then

Only PC is any kind of worthy alternative right now
Crisis Core, FF7R (FF7R2 in 2025), FFXVI, Trails of *inhales deeply* Zero/Azure/Cold Steel 1-4/Reverie/Daybreak...
Asking again and it’s still a no lmao
