4 Reasons You Should Buy PS5 in 2023

Firstly, the big games available now demand current-gen consoles to fully experience everything they have to offer. You can no longer play newer AAA titles on your PS4 without experiencing performance issues. Games like Cyberpunk 2077 reached the tail end of the PS4 console era and just couldn't handle the graphical leap it needed. This means that more demanding games are coming in the next few years, and imagining how the new Spider-Man game would look like on a PS4's 9-year-old hardware is just depressing.

Secondly, backwards compatibility is your best friend. Your existing library will be playable on the PS5, and backwards compatibility is a neat quality of life feature for consistent PlayStation users. You don't have to worry about losing your progress when upgrading to the PS5. Plus, some of them have upgrades that improve overall graphics and performance. Games like The Witcher 3, Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, and more have adapted to this tactic, and it's a godsend. Most of them are free too.

Thirdly exclusives. If you really want a PS5, that means you're excited about the next big lineup of PlayStation 5 games. Sony is slowly stopping their support for PS4 exclusives now that the PS5 has reached stable supply. So, there's absolutely no reason to hold on to that PS4 unless you're saving up or you know you have the budget for it. Games like the next Spider-Man, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Final Fantasy 16, Wolverine, and more are coming to the PS5 exclusively, and these titles are packed with revolutionary gameplay and realistic graphics. We don't think our old PS4s have the processing power to handle these kinds of upcoming games in seconds, but it seems like everything's possible with the PS5.

Lastly, pricing and production are normal now. The PS5 is already out in the wild and you can get one at normal rates. The best thing that happened on the PS5 this year is that it's no longer under scalper hands. As a result, it's returning to its normal market price - that's $499. Our hearts go out to anyone who bought a PS5 at a thousand dollars at launch.

In conclusion, if you're still hesitating on getting that PS5, just remember the four reasons we just talked about. And of course, once again, this is for anyone who has the budget to buy it. So, don't force yourself if you don't have the money. There are also rumors about a possible PS5 Pro coming out soon, but it's not confirmed yet, so take it with a grain of salt.
