It might be better to just get a PS5 Pro in my case.

I am not even joking, that's where I am right now with gaming in 2026.

Grab a steam deck or a rog ally or something instead, you can load a full linux distro like bazzite onto it so you dont have to have sony spyware in your house, and its portable.

It also means you can use it as a pseudo laptop / computer if you really wanted to. Piracy is a lot easier, and you can run emulators very very well and conveniently.

You could alternatively buy a really fancy phone thats good for gaming too, quite a lot of things work on android now via gamehub

I sold my Steam Deck a while ago.

I have a gaming tablet though.

Redmagic Astra gaming tablet

Yeah just having to buy games is crazy expensive piracy makes things cheaper even with inflated prices

gamehub + a gamesir controller that can hook into usbc is pretty decent

I have GeForce Now and a Redmagic Astra gaming tablet but no GameSir yet (I will likely get the Blade 3 instead)
