Same as last week for me. Cocoon, Ragnarok, and BG3.

What are you all up to?

Just got a PS5 a week ago. Played and beat Astro's Playroom first, of course, and I plan to platinum it later. The impetus of getting the PS5 is my wife wanted to play Baldur's Gate III on the TV. I already played and beat it on PC, so I looked for a cheap new game to play - Gamestop has a 75% off sale on select games, so I got Star Ocean Divine Force for $10 and Scarlet Nexus for $5. Started both and Star Ocean is the one that got my attention the most, so I'll be playing that first. There are surprisingly few PS5 exclusive games; everything is either on PS4, PC, or both. Really loving how fast it loads, though. The PS4 was the last HDD device we used in the house, and the difference between that and SSD is huge. Glad I'll never have to go back!

Super Mario Wonder comes out Friday, so I'll probably be dividing my play time between Star Ocean and that soon.

PlayStation is porting all their games to PC now, they don't do it on launch, but generally in couple of years after the release. So, if you count PC, I don't think there are going to be any PS5 exclusives left (same for Xbox).

If you toss in PS4 games there are still exclusives, but yeah, going forward it looks like it's gonna be all timed exclusives. More surprising than Sony-developed games going to PC is all the Japanese-developed games. Very different from the old days when Japanese games were rarely available on PC.

Still worth it since I can play Sony-developed games earlier than if I just used my PC - I couldn't justify getting an Xbox since every single game is always on PC day 1.

Yeah, I personally prefer consoles but if you have a gaming PC, I don't think Xbox makes much sense.

Also, if PS continues with their focus on live service games (there are 10+ live service games in development by PS right now), it's possible they will release them on PC day 1 too.

Yeah, if PS ever ditches single player games I'll be gaming on PC exclusively.
