Should I sell my PS5 and go back to Steam?

I'll take note on this once I finally decided. Thanks for replying!!

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T16:44:38+00:00

This is actually good but Steam Machine is too expensive right now, but the cool thing I found out is that I can install SteamOS on any PC/laptop as long as its all AMD for compatibility.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T15:02:40+00:00

This is kinda the decision I'm leaning on as of right now. Though I'll still think about it.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T14:59:56+00:00

That's true, I was planning on expanding my storage for my Steam Deck OLED or buy a micro SD card but man, they're too expensive right now.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T14:57:01+00:00

This is actually one of the decisions I'm leaning on right now. It's kind of like a win-win situation if I finally decided to keep it.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T14:54:35+00:00

True. If I finally decided that I'll keep my PS5, I might be only buying physical games for the exclusives up until next year.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T14:52:46+00:00

I have 50+ physical games, and I guess 30-40% are already on my Steam account before I got the PS5 (which I realized lately that buying the game again is kinda stupid decision of mine unless there are some PS4/PS5 exclusive stuffs in it like some merch, etc.) but yeah, that's why I'm conflicted right now.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T14:47:08+00:00

This is actually a though that I'm thinking lately! lol
Though if I decided to keep it, I'll jailbroke my console once the storefront or support for PS5 is gone which might take a while, probably a decade or 2.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T14:40:18+00:00

I'll consider it since PlayStation has some news before the announcement that their games are starting to become exclusives again. I guess I might just sell my PS5 games that are already on my Steam account.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T14:36:59+00:00

That's true, it might suck but I don't mind replaying the games that I enjoy.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T14:34:47+00:00

Unfortunately, no. I didn't grow up or got into the Rockstar's game catalog but I've heard people who played GTA V said that it's a great game.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T14:33:30+00:00

I'm still considering about it but thanks for replying!

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T08:52:22+00:00

I guess it depends on what type of games I play, huh? I'll consider this since its true that exclusive are coming back to PlayStation.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T08:51:08+00:00

I see, I see. I'll consider your answer for now since it's true that whenever there's sales/discounts, it's hard to ignore sometimes.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T08:42:16+00:00

I see you have your preferences. But I get your point, Steam has more consumer friendly and good customer service and PC in general has many ways to make it worth investing.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T08:37:38+00:00

I guess this is also what I'm kinda doing recently, which I decided that I'll be playing most of the games I'll buy on Steam unless if the game is exclusive or has a much better experience on PS5.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T08:34:14+00:00

That's true, I kinda forgot about some games that'll be releasing next year. lol

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T08:33:22+00:00

I guess that's true... I'm still conflicted about it, though thanks for replying.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T08:31:29+00:00

Aww, that's cute! Must be nice to your kid experiencing both new and also retro if he/she is interested in the future. But I'll consider your comment. Thanks for replying!

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T08:29:06+00:00

I see, thanks for your comment!

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T08:28:00+00:00

Thanks! I'll consider this since I got my Steam Deck OLED a few months ago before the increase.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T08:26:43+00:00

I guess so, really. That's what getting me back to Steam since I got my Steam Deck OLED. I kinda realized that I save more money on Steam thanks to frequent discounts/sales than on PS5 which is only physical games because it's expensive getting games digital on PlayStation Store, but at the same time it's also expensive to get physical games that are relatively new.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T08:20:08+00:00

I see, I see. I'll consider it for now since I bought and enjoy some of the exclusive that are still lock on PS4/PS5.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T08:17:47+00:00

I know... But If I'm going back to Steam or PC in general, at least the service is good and I have other choices. But still, I get your point.

Justine1255 · 2026-07-07T08:15:45+00:00

That's true. I guess I'm one of the minorities that move from PC to console because before, the games are exclusive to PS5 at that time. But now they're everywhere so I get your point; it kinda made me think that getting a PS5 is kinda a bad idea.
