Serioid question here.... I've been so attached to consoles growing up though it will be a bit of a big change.

In my experience, yes. Last year I had to upgrade my pc for work, and being able to run everything with higher graphics, more customization, AND being able to pirate any single player game I want has been awesome. Not to mention emulation, better media options, etc. In fact, the only reason I still have my ps5 is because its a 4k bluray player as well, and I haven't gotten an external one for my pc yet.

There's some caveats, like if your friends play games that aren't cross-play, your budget for a pc (if you aren't spending the cash, it might not even look good/run as well as current console gen), and some tech hurdles. Also some console exclusives don't come to PC for a year+, and then might still ship in totally broken states.
