This may change the perspectives of a lot of console fans out there who are convinced that the Xbox Series X has better hardware than the PS5.

PS5 also has a ton of new exclusive titles coming out. Additionally, Marvel’s Avengers will be available as a free upgrade on PS5, if purchased on the PS4. CD Projekt Red also announced that they will be doing the same for their upcoming title Cyberpunk 2077. PlayStation also announced that the upcoming Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 had additional pro skaters to choose from. It will also have the ‘Warehouse Mode’, which is the iconic first level in the original THPS game.

PlayStation’s super-fast SSD also gives the console an edge in terms of game loading time.
