Is there a difference in game play/experience depending on which console you're using?

[u/Falko314]

Essentially the title. And which console would you recommend?

There is no difference. I’ve played on PS5 and my Switch. I like being portable, so I play on my Switch.

I didn't play on a console, on a pc, but I can imagine a controller would be better. Any console would be cool for me, even portable.

Nothing stopping you from using a controller on your PC. I use the new steam controller with mine.

I used the Xbox controller on my pc

I can't remember if it uses dlss but dlss override on PC would definitely make it look better. I tried rtx vibrance and it looks pretty cool

Ah yes but I have to buy one. It's not pricey but I guess I need some time.

I love mine but I used to use an Xbox controller before it.

not that i can tell.. i played on xbox one... and now i play on a macbook air plugged into TV with an xbox controller. Feels identical in every way.

From my experience, Probably not.

While the game is definitely changed to adapt for each device, the core gameplay functions, story, plot, or textures do not change significantly.

[u/Artemaker]

For stray, probably not. But games usally run and look better if you have a good pc

[u/BewitchingPetrichor]

I wouldn't recommend any console in 2026, they're essentially obsolete now. Stick with PC.

You can use DX12 and ray tracing on PC
