Switch 2 - Nintendo games, indie games, and games where portability makes sense to me.

PC - Everything else.

 

[youzen]

PC for everything that isn't Nintendo (switch 2 for those of course).

 

[sodstall]

Mainly PC and Xbox Series X. Any free-to-play stuff thats just too HUGE goes on the xbox or stuff that i dont think my PC can handle.

 

[Willbuster]

PC - for the games I play with my buddies
Switch 2 - Nintendo games and the few rare indies
PS5 - everything else
Series S - Gamepass games that catch my interest when I sub here and there

 

[rm082e]

PC for almost everything. The hardware certainly costs a lot more, but I can afford it and the max performance is worth it to me. Also have a Steam Deck for the few times a year that I travel.

PS5 for a few exclusives - not as many as I expected this generation...

 

[ComboBongo]

PS5 Pro / Switch 2 and will play stuff on PC when it can't be played on PS5, or for competitive advantage in Halo for example.

I don't buy anything for Xbox anymore.

 

[Xellos]

Switch if the port is good enough, otherwise PC/Steam.

 

[falconhoof]

PC Only
Preferably GOG, but also Steam. Epic occasionally.

Gave up on consoles in the last generation. Finally felt like they offered nothing special anymore and most stuff comes to PC anyway.

Nintendo I haven't bothered with since WiiU/3DS - Switch was interesting, but I don't care for console mobile.

 

[Uncle Moe]

I'm a retard for achievements, so Xbox remains my platform of choice. I've got a Switch 2, but I basically use it for grindy games and Nintendo exclusives.

 

[kruis]

I used to buy and play most games on PS, but after upgrading from a RTX3080 to a 4090 and now to a 5090, I'm buying obviously everything on PC so I can play them in the maximum quality and highest frame rate on my TV. (I never play PC games on my PC monitor, I prefer the comfy couch).

The number of physical PS games has been steadily decreasing with every console generation. I bought 100+ titles for PS1, PS2 and PS3, but that went down to 60 for PS4 and currently 25 for PS5. And I've rebought a number of those PS5 games for PC when the price got low enough. At the moment I'm only buying Sony exclusives and even in those cases I'm wondering if I should wait for the inevitable PC release.

There's less and less reason to own a PS5 or get excited for the PS6 when it arrives.

I also got a Switch 2 and that is (as usual for any Nintendo console I buy) rarely being used. I played Donkey Kong Bonanza and that's about it.

PC and deck

Sold my PS5 last week

 

[Moses85]

Switch 2 for exclusives (physical only)

PC for PC exclusives

PS5 Pro for exclusives and multiplatform titles

RE9 on PC this time because of path tracing and the low price (€35)

 

[Little Mac]

GTA6 and any interesting Sony/PS exclusives - PS5 Pro

Indies and everything else - Steam Deck and Steam Machine

 

[baphomet]

Unless it's a PS5 or Switch 2 exclusive, all games get bought on PC

I haven't even used my PS5 to play games in at least a couple of years now.

 

[Danjin44]

Most multiplatform games like RE9, Pragmata and MHStories 3 I will buy for my PS5.

Switch 2 is for it's exclusive and some 3rd party games like The Adventures of Elliot and Octopath 0.

 

[Mr Moose]

Re-buying some on PC last year (RDR2/Uncharted 4/Hogwarts) as well as some new games (E33/Oblivion/SHf). I bought a few for PS5 (Ghost/CoD/MH Wilds).

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

I split between my PS5 Pro and PC depending on the game and genre. I prefer playing multiplayer games on my PS5 Pro since I have more close friends on PS5 and can turn crossplay off if the cheating gets wild. Most multiplats are bought for my PC and I play exclusives and a few multiplats on my PS5 Pro.

 

[Codes 208]

Steam > nintendo eshop > ps5 > xbox pc store > epic store

Havent owned an xbox in over five years so thats the only one missing in my modern collection

 

[troubledApplicant]

PS5 everything, Series X some..

Switch 2, bare-minumum-exclusive and no f**king key cards...

 

[reinking]

PC - 1st
PS5 - 2nd
Switch/Phone/iPad - Pretty much tied for 3rd

 

[ShirAhava]

Xbox One X in the living room (sold my Series consoles waiting for XBOX PC), Linux PC in the bedroom

Spoiler: NSFW

Vita homebrew in the sheets

 

[Metnut]

Prefer to everything on PS5. Will get stuff like BG3 or other KBM games on my PC but I don't use it all the time. Certain games I'll get for Switch 2 when I'm going away for business.

 

[Moondoggy]

PC, cause I'm not a terrible person.


/s

 

[Plague Doctor]

Mostly PC/Steam/Steam Deck for everything now

PS5 is there though. Last thing I played on it was Hell Divers 2 over a year ago

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Out of all the platforms I own, I'm mostly buying for Neo Geo AES these days.

 

[Sakura]

Switch 2 for exclusives. PC for everything else.

 

[RafterXL]

I'm back to PC everything. My XSX and my PS5 and Pro are dust collectors at this point. I think next gen will be the first since home consoles were a thing that I'm not going to purchase any of them. They aren't the value they used to be because of online sub models and fewer big games getting released, and for the most part they have no compelling exclusives or must have features.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

It was usually PS5 and Switch for their exclusives and Series X for everything else, although lately I begrudge giving Microsoft any more of my money with the piss poor job they have done .

 

[DavidGzz]

PC. Mods are amazing and I can play many on my Steam Deck as well.

 

[TintoConCasera]

PC. Mostly on Steam, sometimes on GOG.

There was this one time I bought a game on the Epic Store. Nobody tell Tim please, I don't want him finding out.

 

[OLED_Gamer]

Lately my 9070xt PC. Starting to sell my physical PS5 Pro games. I have a 2TB SSD in there that i'm tempted to sell because of how expensive everything is. My PC already has 4TB.

Switch 2 has been my second option but its mainly for the kids.

I'm just finding my time is getting more limited, so anytime I play I just want the best experience, and thats PC.

 

[SiegeDamage]

60/40 split between buying games on a beefy gaming PC and my Switch 2 for Nintendo exclusives and other third-parties that I want to play portably (DQ7R, very recently).

My experience has been that you can't go wrong with a PC + Nintendo console combo.

 

[Aion002]

If the game is play anywhere: Xbox store.

If the game is pc only: Steam.

Otherwise: Physical edition for the PS5.

 

[Itchy.Tasty.]

PC.

It's not even a matter of visuals or performance for me. I just find myself more comfortable and engaged when playing in front of the monitor.
Access to mods and emulation is amazing too.

 

[Kokoloko85]

PS5 Pro - Most things
Switch 2 - Nintendo and exclusives
Laptop - Total War, exclusives, older games, mods, the extraction game I cant remember the name of lol

 

[FudgeIt]

Sold my PS5 last week

What kind of PC GPU did you get and you're playing at a desk or couch?

 

[MaestroMike]

PS5 pro and switch/switch2 for Nintendo games and maybe something if it's on sale that's multi platform that I wanna be able play on handheld. I never got my XsX fixed from not turning on so I can't play my halo or gears games. Did wanna eventually beat halo infinite and maybe replay some of the halo master chief collection dam shame

 

[SpokkX]

Steam 90%
Switch 2 10% (exclusives)

Ps5 (0% - stopped buyers amd wait for Steam)

 

[Alan Wake]

My answer used to be Xbox, mainly for the ecosystem, controller and achievements. Nowadays it's mostly PS5, apart from certain franchises that I already own on Xbox and want to keep adding to the collection. Like Little Nightmares. I bought Reanimal and Resident Evil Requiem for Xbox too. Switch and Switch 2 are basically only Nintendo exclusives for me.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Switch/Switch 2 = Nintendo and indie, non-GKCs only

PS5 Pro = Physical discs, anything I can play on PS+, and some multiplatform games where I care about performance/quality (FF7R for instance)

PC = PC exclusives, FPS, anything cheap enough or that benefits greatly from a mouse & keyboard

 

[Team Andromeda]

I really hope they get that working on PC, would be a tragedy if it disappears when they move everything over to Xbox App.

Yeah, me too mate

 

[Lokaum D+]

What kind of PC GPU did you get and you're playing at a desk or couch?

I already had a PC, It depends on my mood, but usualy i use sunshine/moonlight to play on my couch.

I m running on a 5700x + 3060ti + 16Ram

 

[Odinnii]

PC and Switch 2.
Might turn on the XSX for some BC stuff once in a blue moon but the PS5 has been collecting dust for more than a year now.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Xbox if I care about the graphics and the game doesn't lend itself to handheld playing.
Switch 2 if a game is fine for portable play (like Ace Attorney and such) and exclusives.

 

[Aenima]

Since i bought a new PC last year, my PS5 has been only a youtube player during lunch time. Not even exclusives im buying on console now as i rather wait for a Steam release a year or so later.

 

[Ellis]

PS5 Pro and PC. PC is mostly older games I buy in sales, and then a few newer titles when I want to double dip and make use of better performance.

A handful of games where I went straight in on PC, I've ended up refunding and picking up on PS5 due to same old shader compilation bullshit.

My SX was pretty much a BC machine. I didn't buy a single third party game on it before selling the thing a while back.

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

Steam.

 

[Fess]

Since i bought a new PC last year, my PS5 has been only a youtube player during lunch time. Not even exclusives im buying on console now as i rather wait for a Steam release a year or so later.

Yeah that's what happened for me when I built a PC for the living room.

When I only had a desktop PC I could see a point with consoles. I like comfy couch gaming. But when I could get that through a PC I only saw the power limitations with consoles.

But I'm really not a fan of waiting for PC releases. Hate it. And the worst thing is that Sony never say if a game will come in 6 months or 6 years. Death Stranding 2 arrives super fast. But where is Gran Turismo 7? And Demon's Souls?

Hoping for a Sony launcher on PC with day 1 releases. Bye bye Steam I'll gladly buy everything from Sony in their own launcher in that case.

 

[L*][*N*K]

Where I live physical PS5 games are very easy to come by unlike Xbox games so I get the PS5 games, my Xbox is just for Gamepass

 

[Baemono]

If good enough, on Switch 1 and now 2. If not, or not available, then PS5
