Video games have come a long way since they were first revealed to the world several decades ago. While the early titles weren’t too demanding when it came to requiring massive horsepower, things have changed drastically in today’s time. Nowadays, the more powerful the device, the better. That way, one can end up getting the best possible experience in immersing into a title’s virtual world. And when it comes to running the most graphic-intensive games, there’s hardly a better choice than the currently available PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series X/S models.

In other words, these are the flagship consoles one can own in order to receive the ultimate level of experience. Interestingly, though, recent rumors of these devices receiving additional upgrades in the future have made gaming enthusiasts concerned.

While some people believe that something like a PS5 Pro or the Xbox Series XL would be amazing to have, there are folks who think the current generation is still not actually used to its full capacity. And thus, the big question that arises is: are the developers not using the newest consoles to their real potential?

Is having a PS5 Pro or Xbox Series XL too important right now?

There’s no doubt about the fact that the ongoing platforms from Sony and Microsoft are some of the most advanced machines one can afford in 2023. Plus, they nearly arrived at the same time in 2020, and are yet to see a depreciation in their age. So one can say they are not that old, compared to their siblings from the previous generations, like the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.

However, there’s an ongoing debate going on right now among video game lovers regarding the present generation. The majority of them also believe that the current models of the PlayStation and the Xbox should not get any new upgrades. That’s because it’s too early to receive another version of these consoles, which were released less than three years ago.

An industry insider, Tom Henderson, recently took to Twitter to know the stance of people on the topic of having mid-gen upgrades for PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S.

Coming as no surprise, many individuals expressed a distaste for any kind of upgrade for the ongoing consoles. According to them, the overall strength and potential of the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series X/S is yet to be utilized. In fact, some of them also wrote that the devs working on big AAA titles are failing to actually properly optimize their games. As a result, the titles released nowadays are either unfinished or are having issues even on the latest devices. In other words, the fault is not in the platforms but in the games themselves.

Then there are those who believe that rolling out new upgrades would cause frustration among those who already own a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S model. Because they will feel that their consoles have aged way too early despite coming out just a few years ago.

What are your thoughts on this topic? Do you think the devs should work more on optimizing their games for better performance on the latest devices? Or is there an actual need for mid-gen upgrades already? Let us know in the comments.
