But...that’s one I would much rather play on console then PC personally. Any racing game really.

I’m fully aware that you can recreate that with a PC, but it’s spendy and complicated (and I actually have a Steam Link) and still a little janky. I lack most of the things for PC that make it an already great experience on PS4.

If I were only interested in playing alone, and had a wheel and pedals setup at my PC, and a huge ass monitor, a rig capable of running the game at said monitor’s specs, AND a comfy couch in front of said monitor, then I would agree with you. :p

Heck, I've saved money by reducing my real-world track time. Honestly, I think that VR is a huge piece of why I want to play racing games on my PC rather than on the Xbox. Being able to turn my head to look for the apex and see what's happening around me just makes it so much more real.

Do you think pairing it with a PS4Pro would make any difference (if you’re not using one).

I disagree, at least with "soon", as the abject failure of every cloud gaming service will attest. There needs to be a robust and fast internet infrastructure for the vast majority of the gaming market, and we aren't remotely there yet.

As part of the new multi-year deal made between Major League Baseball and Sony back in late 2019, long running PlayStation-exclusive baseball game MLB The Show is no longer PlayStation-exclusive as of April 20. That’s when Sony releases an Xbox game with a PlayStation logo on the cover.

Days Gone, published in the spring of 2019, was the first console game by Bend Studio since 2007’s Syphon Filter: Logan’s Shadow for PlayStation 2 (though they had worked on several handheld projects). Days Gone received mixed reviews at launch, with most of the disappointment leveled at its repetitive gameplay loop. Still, the game has developed a following in the two years since, and is part of the 20-game PS Plus Collection offered to PlayStation 5 owners with a PlayStation Plus subscription.
