Fans Believe PS5 Pro Will Be Better Buy Than PC

Expert Verified By

Fans Are Already Impressed With PS5 Pro!

Story Highlight
  • The PS5 Pro is reportedly launching later this year.
  • With a solid idea of the target specifications, fans are arguing that the console will provide better value than a PC.
  • They believe an equivalent PC will cost twice as much to build.

The PS5 Pro launch is closer than ever, as recent reports suggest that an official announcement will be made this month, and the console will be launched before the end of the year.

Following the leaked specs and price of the console, many fans seem to agree that the PS5 Pro is a better purchase than the PC at the moment, as a similarly specced PC would cost twice as much.

Why it matters: The console vs. PC debate is nothing new. As always, this question has come up again with the impending release of Sony’s new hardware.

Recently, it was reported that the PS5 Pro would cost $600-700 and come with features like PSSR upscaling, which will help it target 4K gaming, making it a worthy upgrade over the base model.

The console’s GPU is said to be similar to a Radeon RX 7700 XT, which costs $400. A fan recently shared the specs of a PC equivalent to the PS5 Pro. The list shows a 7700 XT GPU that costs around $400, and other things like RAM, storage, PSU, and more.

The total price came out to about $1,368, which is almost double the cost of the PS5 Pro. Therefore, fans conclude that the console is a much better value for money than buying a PC. However, the PC was better in certain departments, like the newer Ryzen 5000 CPU.

Not too long ago, Mark Cerny replied to one video about people trying to build a PC similar to the PS5. He noted that such videos often rely on used hardware and that purchasing a new console is not the same thing.

if you’re using used parts… well, you can get a used PlayStation 5 for eBay for $300-something.

Recent reports have also suggested that the PS5 Pro will run Unreal Engine 5 much better than the base model.

Many still believe the PC is a better option since it has more use cases than a console. Ultimately, it all comes down to player preference and choice. While a PC is usually more expensive upfront, it lacks additional costs like subscriptions for online gaming.

The PS5 Pro still seems like a great deal, especially if it ends up priced at $600. While rumors point to a price as high as $700, Sony has yet to issue an official statement.
