My current gaming PC is around 3 years old. This and my PS5 seem to cover my gaming needs for now. But I was wondering what games are coming out over the next few months or even into next year that would put a high end PC to good use? I'm basically looking for a good reason to upgrade but so far it doesn't seem worth it. Obviously the new Battlefield looks great but will most likely pick that up on PS5 anyway.
Upcoming pc games that justify a system upgrade?

Not sure there are any, TBH.
I'm still sitting on a 2070S and an old 4790k OC'd and they play everything just fine at 1440p. I was considering upgrading my CPU and Mobo for Cyberpunk as I was getting some stuttering while driving through certain places but the game isn't good enough to warrant that so I'll live with it.
Other than that, I have absolutely no issues with all of the games I play at high settings and there doesn't seem to be anything on the horizon to really make me upgrade. I'm interested in Elden Ring but I doubt it won't run well on my PC.
There are also great older games that I want to revisit, more worthwile than most of the mediocre AAA stuff currently released.
In your case, you also have a PS5 so I wouldn't. Just spend that money on games that interest you.

DCs Apache looks tasty. Stalker 2. Plus anything in vr needs POWER as Clarkson would say. The thing that made me upgrade was simracing in vr.
Same, apart from my old GPU went poof a fears ago so using a 1080ti runs everything I want a superwidescreen as well.

Same. Only significant drawback I have is only 8GB of ram which is so low now a days. Haven't got the clearance for more as heatsink is too big.

Far Cry 6 <cough> <cough>
probably nothing to upgrade for in the next 1-2 years tbh.
I used to think consoles were bad for gaming but I don't miss having to my gpu almost every year.
my 4670k and 980ti seem fine still for 1080, unless you wanna upgrade your monitor res I wouldn't bother.
every other game played fine, I think my SSD gets hammered though with a HDD we would probably notice it.
