Two Years Later, IS THE PS5 WORTH IT?

12th November just gone marks two years since PlayStation 5’s release. Sony’s ninth generation console is arguably at its highpoint, with the just-released, generation-defining God of War Ragnarök receiving rapturous acclaim as a technical showpiece, the title now expected to spearhead a slew of high profile first-party exclusives coming in 2023. With the PlayStation 5 finally starting to fulfil its promise, the future looks bright following the system’s chequered launch.

Yes, Sony is looking to make PS5’s uneven launch a thing of the distant past, and sure, it hasn’t been plain sailing to get to this point; PS5’s supposed triumphant release was instead marred by unavailability, with scammers and scalpers swooping in to gobble up every morsel of the hard-to-come-by console before regurgitating back to honest consumers for exorbitant prices.
