      I hope some mods come out that allows it to be skippable for single player games. I wonder what this means for the future of Playstation games on GOG, since Sony had been releasing games there.

      I’ve had my PS4 pro for years and never had paid PSN, is it required for PS5?

      Or just for online play, which I do not care for

          Fair enough, I assumed you gamed on both and stopped for PS5 because they made PSN mandatory and I somehow was unaware.

          Can’t justify a gaming PC when PS4 pro was pretty cheap and my gaming hours are not what they used to be

          I can justify a not so new console every 5 or so years as they hit my value for money sweet spot, and reduced gaming hours due to life

          But the upfront cost for a decent rig to replace consoles entirely is not what I want to use my money for (for now!)

          Can’t wait to finally make the jump though!

            Somebody else also said it but the steam deck is amazing. Mid level pc performance that can handle almost all new games, and you can use a dock and have it set up just like a console. I use mine all yhe time with bluetooth ps4 controllers. Much bigger games library+being able to emulate so many older consoles makes it a no brainer i think.

        PSN account is free, you probably already have one if you owned one of the last 3 PlayStation consoles. There are paid add-ons if you want the multiplayer or the gamepass like subscription.

        What’s with all the downvotes, it’s literally an answer to the question. You fellas mad I didn’t editorialize the information with personal opinions?

        Starting with this one, it’s a requirement on PC, yes. Hopefully they do away with it due to lost sales, but they’re still at least pretending that they’re somehow going to convert PC players into console players.
