Vince Zampella’s PS5 Pro vs. PC Comparison Has Fans Considering System Upgrades for Battlefield 2025 Launch

It’s not even been a week since the announcement of  PS5 Pro, and it’s arguably one of the most controversial consoles. In its announcement video, Sony laid out an array of benefits for gamers who switch to the console. However, fans don’t believe the $700 price tag for the console is worth it, as it simply lacks meaningful changes.

Gamers have taken to various social media channels and expressed their disappointment with PS5 Pro’s price tag. It’s a massive outrage, but amidst all that, Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella has stated that the PlayStation 5 Pro’s price is quite reasonable, which has worried gamers about the next Battlefield game.

Respawn Boss Believes PS5 Pro Price is “Not that bad”

While chatting with IGN, Vince Zampella asked the community to give PS5 Pro a chance before bashing it mindlessly. When questioned about the console’s controversial price tag, Zampella stated that the PlayStation 5 Pro isn’t the most expensive system that’s around.

He pointed out that if you’re attempting to build a PC on a $700 budget, you wouldn’t get the same performance and quality that you’ll get from Sony’s latest console offering.

So it at first seemed a little shocking, but it’s kind of like, it’s actually not that bad. And if you get a $700 PC, you’re not getting the same performance that you’re getting out of it.

There’s no denying the fact that the comparison between Sony’s PS5 Pro and a gaming PC stands up. To match the console’s strength, gamers need a high-end CPU, and building a PC with similar specs winds up costing nearly double the PlayStation 5 Pro’s asking price.

Zampella’s thoughts may ring true for gamers who want the convenience a console can provide against a PC. However, it has alarmed gamers who are anticipating the next Battlefield title.

Battlefield games are known to push systems and consoles to their absolute limits. The last entry in the franchise, 2042, proved to be one of the most demanding games we’d ever seen. It’s already confirmed that the upcoming title will be packed with next-generation features and graphics, which might prove to be a problem for the base PS5 and Xbox.

When the next game finally releases, gamers might be due for an upgrade to experience the future of Battlefield.

When Will the Next Battlefield Game Release?

Zampella has confirmed some details regarding the next Battlefield game. The details include a return to 64-player matches, the modern era, and finally, the return of the classic class-based system that gamers had been desperate for years. Gamers are all aboard the hype train and can’t wait for the game to debut.

As for when the next Battlefield title will be released, Zampella hasn’t revealed much. However, it’s been suggested that the franchise is preparing for a 2025 release. As for if that date will slip into 2026, it remains to be seen, but we might suggest keeping your holiday 2025 free if you’re a fan of the franchise.

It’s still unclear what the next game will be officially titled, but the community has already started to refer to it as “Battlefield 6”. Let’s keep our fingers crossed, and hope EA and Respawn give us a more in-depth look at the future of the franchise in the upcoming weeks to carry forward this momentum.

With that said, do you think PS5 Pro’s price tag is justifiable? If so, let us know in the comments below.
