Subject says it all.
I've been on PC for roughly 12 years now and am wanting to get a console to game on in the living room. I have owned a Xbox and PlayStation in the passed but am not to familiar with the newer consoles. Which would you choose and why? I am looking at digital versions of both consoles.

Personally I don't care for either. There's no huge difference. That is to me at least.

Yet, I will def. say I enjoy my. XB. And I like Xbox gamepass.

That's my thing. I know PS has a pass now as well. I do have Game Pass and Games Purchased on the Microsoft store but I was going to try to change it up. There are 2-3 variants of the Xbox correct?

I am going to have to look through this more. I don't want to pull the trigger and be disappointed in what i buy I guess? I been researching a good bit just. Undecided.

Xbox. If you're looking for a secondary to your PC the Series X goes perfect, durable and the power for future games to come is amazing and if you have a nice tv set up in the living room it pairs nicely! Some say the Ps5 performs more graphically wise but they also were the only system so far with the dreaded laying on side overheat & HDMI issue (I've had my day one series used on many different hdmi for over 3 years now and no issues) if you happen to get a ps5 you may want to get the slim revised model & not just that but most titles on ps5 are not so "exclusive" as you can just play some straight off your pc which voided my needs for a Ps5 at all when I can play god of war , miles morales and much more on my pc and draw the most graphical enhancements out of them with pc specs ;) not to mention Call of Duty Mw3 is and Black ops 6 on release day will be on game pass , edit : also helldivers 2 on pc and many others I just can't list but things you can't play on your Xbox pretty much use Pc, and Xbox does the rest couch play wise , entertainment system

That's why I am not really for one or the other being PC gets the exclusives that I want to play at least. I know GTA is coming out next year "Hopefully" and being no talk of it launching on pc right away "like GTA5 didn't" I am wanting something to play that as well.

Gotcha and well I guess that also depends on friend base too if you have more close friends who will be on ps / xbox / pc to be playing gta 6 , console wise I grew up xbox all my friends from childhood now adults are on my og gamer tags friend list but I can play via gamepass on pc with them and console via crossplay with discord now so even if your friends are on PC or console they can now link up so I'd say where ever you wish to reside and play , if you have no xbox friends or vice versa that has always been the cut for me
