As we head into 2025 , the line between console and PC gaming has grown so blurry that the similarities now outweigh the differences.

Console makers are growing more agnostic with their wares, shifting from exclusivity to a cross-platform embrace.

For better or worse, PCs are more complicated than gaming consoles.

But that complexity can be a worthwhile trade-off for tinkerers.

In 2022 , Sony promised to bring more PS games to PC.

In 2024 , that promise expanded to PC, mobile, and cloud.

Going into 2025 , the line between the two is almost non-existent.

Sony plans to stagger its exclusives between the PS5 and PC so as to not render its hardware obsolete.

Sony has also entered the DIY PC builder space, if ever so slightly.

The Steam Deck , and others like it, have infused the form factor and infused it with PC gaming.
