For reference:
Also, this was Sony during the PS4 era:
If you’re going to get expensive hardware and be digital only, might as well go PC while you can. The money you save not having to pay PS Plus to play with friends would add up quick. Not to mention open source, privacy respecting options, no need to be online, modding, more welcoming communities, emulation, etc. If you want a console experience, you can use something like Bazzite or SteamOS.
Me too. I know not everybody can do this, but I ran displayport over fiber cables from both my PC and my partner’s into the crawlspace and back up to our TV in the main room.
Another option that we used to use that worked fairly well was Moonlight to stream from PCs to our TVs
And as for controllers, there’s a lot of options out there. 8bitdo makes a bunch that work well and I’ve heard of Flydigi and Scuf as well. I have a Gullikit KingKong 2 Pro myself that I use for PC gaming. Played through Elden Ring and the Witcher 3 with it. Hall effect joysticks are pretty cool and avoid stick drift over time and being able to connect it to most devices (switch, xbox, pc) is nice.
If you want to splurge, the Xbox Elite and Dual Sense Edge both work via bluetooth. You can get wireless adapters for all of the above except the Dual Sense. Standard xbox controllers work as well.
Basically, there’s a lot of cool ways to game on your TV with PC lol
