Small developer. Probably easy to port across “Microsoft” platforms. Less so in to Sony world.
Best advice ever?
Buy a high but-not-top end gaming PC. Watch how it lasts you seven or eight years and counting (as they do these days) and actually becomes cost equivalent as you can buy post-premium games for half the price they are on PS5.
Sorry. Compulsory PC_MasterRace comment. I’m only joking really, I’ve no real point of comparison

While I love consoles as their ease of use far exceeds a PC specifically for plug and play…
Im effing sick of the price becoming excessive and the cycle of “ooh look a pro version of your console 3 years later”. They are still technically cheaper in the short term but its fast becoming untrue. I bet the PS5 pro will be upwards of £600. The PS6 will be, I guesstimate, upwards of £800.
So Im moving away from them, friends be damned. They can follow me to a platform that you can do anything on, where mods are usually free, where sailing the high seas is becoming a necessity as companies munch on our liberties and where we retain some form of control (so long as you break your OS and rid the bloat forcefully).
The issue is, this all takes knowledge that the average person doesnt have or want. Building a decent readymade PC is also a good few hundred on the pricepoint. Building your own is out of reach of most people. This is why people console.

I pre-empt my next comment with the fact I’ve not looked in 7 years… But… Last time I did a comparison, pc building companies were as cheap as buying parts and building it myself.
And theirs come with warranty and confirmed compatibility of bits.
I don’t own shares, but because they’re local to me, scan.co.uk are good and I’ve had my last 2 pcs from them and they’ve been solid enough to last me 12 years with upper-mid range buys.
I’d never do consoles.

Yeah, the way things have gone I cannot recommend them anymore.
I was skeptical I admit but after a bit of checking it seems you are pretty much right!
Last I checked years back (we might be talking 10yrs here!) you would save around £200 building your own, but this bundle costs £30 extra and removes a headache.
Total cost £670 for the Scan Gamer. Individual prices are next to the parts.
AMD Ryzen 5 5500 6C/12T - £80
ASUS PRIME A520M-K - £60
16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200MHz - £43
8GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 - £210
512GB Solidigm P41 Plus PCIe M.2 SSD - £40
Microsoft Windows 11 Home & 2 Year Warranty - £112
PSU Corsiar CX550 - £50
Case Antec Dark Phantom - £36
I rekon with some shopping around you could likely save yourself another £20 or so.
Imo, its worth spending the £50 unless you simply LOVE building PC’s or you have parts already like a case and PSU etc.
Considering this budget PC will run most anything you could put on a PS5 and it doesnt actually cost that much more, Id say there’s never been a better time to drop the console and go master race!

Didn’t they excavate some information mentioning the PS5 from the new update code?
never trust unused code with fatshark. they’re very prone to leaving dropped ideas in their games and not caring how rabid the fanbase gets over it.
Yes it was datamined, and later confirmed by Strawhat.

It’s being worked on, confirmed by Strawhat. So no worries, it will be on PS5.
