It’s not even been a week since the announcement of  PS5 Pro, and it’s arguably one of the most controversial consoles. In its announcement video, Sony laid out an array of benefits for gamers who switch to the console. However, fans don’t believe the $700 price tag for the console is worth it, as it simply lacks meaningful changes.

Gamers have taken to various social media channels and expressed their disappointment with PS5 Pro’s price tag. It’s a massive outrage, but amidst all that, Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella has stated that the PlayStation 5 Pro’s price is quite reasonable, which has worried gamers about the nextBattlefieldgame.

He pointed out that if you’re attempting to build a PC on a $700 budget, you wouldn’t get the same performance and quality that you’ll get from Sony’s latest console offering.

So it at first seemed a little shocking, but it’s kind of like, it’s actually not that bad. And if you get a $700 PC, you’re not getting the same performance that you’re getting out of it.

There’s no denyingthe fact that the comparison between Sony’s PS5 Pro and a gaming PCstands up. To match the console’s strength, gamers need a high-end CPU, and building a PC with similar specs winds up costing nearly double the PlayStation 5 Pro’s asking price.

Zampella’s thoughts may ring true for gamers who want the convenience a console can provide against a PC. However, it has alarmed gamers who are anticipating the nextBattlefieldtitle.

Battlefieldgames are known to push systems and consoles to their absolute limits. The last entry in the franchise,2042, proved to be one of the most demanding games we’d ever seen. It’s already confirmed that the upcoming title will be packed with next-generation features and graphics, which might prove to be a problem for the base PS5 and Xbox.

When the next game finally releases, gamers might be due for an upgrade to experience the future ofBattlefield.

It’s still unclear what the next game will be officially titled, but the community has already started to refer to it as“Battlefield 6”.
