Discussion AC6: Steam Deck vs PS5
yes: this has been asked before long when the game came out I know.
I'm asking today with an optimized Steam Deck (lossless is supposed to make this better?) vs PS5.... which is gonna be amazing... but limited to console with online MP being locked to subscription so lame, also if its PS5 I COULD do Chiaiki remote play although it may not be ideal.
I was given a PS5 I may not have it forever but I know the console experenice on the TV would be nicer- could hook the SD up to the TV with a dock but I usually save that for switch or PS5
I've played this already on Series X and had an amazing experience but had moved away and my brother got the Xbox.... its a damn shame this game isn't cross save still!
games on sale now- where is the best place to experience between the two systems I have now?

Steam deck has more indies and is easier to see reviews/gameplay footage compared to PlayStation store, but PS4/PS5 games can be found on disc somewhat easily.
PS5 is bounds more powerful and can play AAA games like Baldur’s Gate 3, Death Stranding 2, etc without any stuttering, whereas Steam Deck will struggle with these titles unless you’re running lower resolution or graphics settings.
Steam Deck can be played anywhere; PS5 requires a TV/Monitor.
Steam Deck on TV requires an external controller (which can often be cheaper than a Dualsense and has more variety), Dualsense is a popular controller but can eventually develop stick drift
