Does anyone know if the Pro can do 120fps/hz over Remote Play? My slim only does 60 and it's noticeably laggier compared to Steam Link which can do 120

If you haven't gotten a ps5 by now you didn't want one in the first place
There's very little on PlayStation/Xbox these days that doesn't either come out right away on PC, or at least come out eventually on PC (as will probably be the case for GTA6), so I spent my $500 on an RTX 5070 deal instead.

The Switch 2 is more tempting due to the portability and first party Nintendo releases, honestly. Even then, you have *cough* other options available.

Remote will max out at 1080p 60 fps if you have the bandwidth.

PC is too expensive to buy into. I guess you could buy a Steam Deck and play it at like 480p lol

GTA6 wont be released for PC till later, up to a year.
Unless MS really fully enables a true Xbox mode for PC's that will play native XBOX code.
