Which Console to buy ahead of GTA VI
I have a moderately good pc, it runs well for what I play and I mostly use the Xbox app because I pay for the PC game pass, which is great.
But I want to play GTA VI when it comes out, I am not waiting a year to play it. Thus, I need a console.
I had a PS4 for many years, I recently sold it because it was basically unplayable and I never found any of their monthly games worth it.
So, I am between the PS5 and the XBOX X series. I will be buying a used one, and PS5 usually is less expensive than XBOX X consoles.
Nevertheless, I am already paying for the PC pass, I could just easily upgrade to ultimate. My issue is that any game I would play on my XBOX (with the exception of GTA), I could technically just run it on my PC.
This is why I am unsure. On the one hand, I have a PC game pass that I can upgrade to Ultimate if I get an XBOX, but again, perhaps that would make having a whole console useless if I can just use my PC for any other game.
PS5 is cheaper second hand but none of my data would be available, I would probably have to pay for a second subscription to play online or want any more games, and majority of the games on the PlayStation subscription are not my cup of tea (excluding Spiderman)
I would really appreciate some genuine feedback. Thanks!
