I have it on both PC and PS5 and I greatly prefer it on PS5. My computer loads things faster, and it looks better, but the PS5 version is much more immersive and considerably easier to move around. Inventory management is a lot better on PC though.

Can just use a controller on the computer, right?

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah it plays well with the Steam Deck

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

AFAIK you can. I haven't tried since I don't have a controller for my computer.

Your controller should work through steam input (or natively if you use Linux)

I can use a PS5 controller on Linux? Will it affect the PS5 sync when I go to use it there again?

[–] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I don't own a ps5, so I'm not 100% sure on the ps5 sync, but there shouldn't be any issue for that as Sony put out a firmware update to make it work well with pc at one point. But for me with my ps5 controller, it works and pairs flawlessly, and the touchpad on the controller works as a mouse on the desktop.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[–] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

No problem! Message me if you need any help, if you can't to that on Lemmy just mention me in a post or something idk

The PS5 controller doesn't work there?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Does it? I haven't tried. When I tried to use a PS4 Pro controller in the past it messed it up and I had to reset it to use it with the console again. Can you use PS5 controllers with a Linux PC?

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Not sure, I know that you can in Windows.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Inventory management is a lot better on PC though.

Isn't this always the case?

God I hated inventory management on The Witcher 3 for PS4.
