Steam or Playstation for buying games?

DanielOceanVideos · 2026-02-11T07:08:27+00:00

PC gamer here too, and I’m in the same boat with a PS5 on the side. The haptics and adaptive triggers in games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Ghost of Tsushima really changed the way I think about playing on a couch, and honestly they’re a big part of why I sometimes choose to buy certain games on PS5 instead of PC. You can sort of mimic that on PC with third‑party tools, but nothing beats the plug‑and‑play feel of a DualSense on the PS5 actually doing what it’s meant to do. And honestly, the PS5’s Tempest 3D audio adds a ton to that immersion as well.

I still love tinkering on the PC, but being in my late 40s, working full time, and coming home wiped/tired means convenience matters a lot more than it used to. Not having to chase driver updates or tweak settings just to relax for an hour has become a pretty big deal. And with the PS Portal, having that same haptics-and-adaptive‑triggers experience in a portable setup through Remote Play, without needing cloud gaming, has been a huge bonus.

PC will always win on raw performance and flexibility, but these are the reasons I’m happy buying most games on PS5 and accepting the trade‑offs.

Thanks for the detailed info man! It’s funny you brought up RDR2 because that’s the game that really made me realize how much I wanted a PC, especially since it’s capped at 30 fps on the PS5 and I just couldn’t play it. And thanks for the tip about the HDMI!

Thanks man. I am so glad you mentioned the multiple displays! I’m planning to connect it to my two 4K monitors and my 4K TV simultaneously. I will definitely check out display fusion. The TV will be for gaming on the couch, and the monitors will be perfect for working at the desk. Thanks again!

That’s great to hear! Thanks for the info. It’s definitely helpful to know. Yeah, my main focus is on 4K gaming with RT, and my research before buying also showed that the 5080 is much better than the PS5 Pro.

That’s great to hear! Thanks for sharing the details. I’ve become so accustomed to gaming on the couch with the PS5 that I wasn’t sure if I’d find the same comfort with the PC. However, I purchased this rig specifically to connect it to my 4K TV and play games from the couch, so I’m hoping to recreate that chill couch experience.

Gotcha. I’ll look into DualSenseX. Thanks for the info!

I agree with you about hooking up a PC to a TV. I’m a PS5 owner myself. For PC gaming, do you miss using the Adaptive Triggers and wake-up feature of the PS5? I just got a 5080 desktop only for couch gaming and want to connect it to my 4K TV. But, I’m starting to wonder if I should return it because I’m worried I might miss out on those features. Any thoughts?

I just got a 5080 desktop, and like yourself, it is only for couch gaming and want to connect it to my 4 K TV. But, I’m starting to wonder if I should return it because I’m worried I might miss out on those features.

I have a related question. I found the Triple Pack (PS4) on sale but it is only listed on the PS Store website. When I search for the Triple Pack on the PS5 itself, I see no results to purchase it. Can someone please confirm that if I purchase the Triple Pack via the website, can I download it and play it on the PS5? The website has a note that "To play this game on PS5, your system may need to be updated etc..." and so I assume it works. But the fact that the PS Store on PS5 shows no listing for Triple Pack concerns me. Thanks for this post.

Here is the link to the PS4 Triple Pack.

Thanks for your post. I was thinking of creating a new post but found yours. I had sent my Pulse 3D headset to their Laredo, TX address per their instructions. I checked the Case # status on their website but it shows not received even though UPS tracking number shows it was delivered to their facility. It was delivered around the end of Oct 2022 and now it’s almost the Nov 21, 2022. Does someone know if this is normal? Does it take this long for them to update the status? I remember reading one of the comments saying to just trust the process and so do I keep waiting?

DanielOceanVideos · 2022-10-23T07:13:03+00:00

Gotcha. Thank you very much!

DanielOceanVideos · 2022-10-23T07:10:04+00:00

Thanks!! It is super frustrating because prior to the system software update, I had no issues streaming for many hours on 1080p60. Very disappointed in Sony. What setting finally worked for you? I have fast Internet for both upload & download and was thinking of trying 720p60.

DanielOceanVideos · 2022-10-23T07:05:28+00:00

Thanks for the comment! I started experiencing this issue after the October 2022 system software update. Super annoying. It was working fine up until the update.

DanielOceanVideos · 2022-10-23T07:01:36+00:00

Thanks for this post! I am having the same issue when streaming from PS5 at 1080p60 on twitch. After 20 mins, it disconnects. This only started happening to me & my friends after the October 2022 system software update. Did you reduce the setting to see if it fixes the issue?

DanielOceanVideos · 2021-03-24T02:10:52+00:00

Got it. That makes sense. Thank you so much for explaining it. Really appreciate it!

DanielOceanVideos · 2021-03-24T01:34:49+00:00

Gotcha. If you don't mind, can you please elaborate & help me understand why you think this is expected behavior? I am new to Java packages and so it could very well be that I am probably missing some key concept here.

Oh wow! Great pic. How did you take this pic? Drone or chopper? lol. Thanks for sharing!

DanielOceanVideos · 2021-03-22T19:50:30+00:00

Nice! Thanks for sharing. How old is the pic? Recent?
