For the first few years of its life, the PlayStation 5 was a hard sell. Stock was scarce, prices were inflated, and most of the games people actually wanted still ran fine on a PS4. If you held off upgrading, you weren't wrong — you were patient.
That window has closed. The PS5 has now passed its fifth birthday, the library has exploded, the platform-exclusive heavy hitters have landed, and the biggest game of the decade — GTA 6 — is coming to it. The console has finally grown into the machine it was always meant to be. If you've been waiting for the right moment to upgrade, this is it. Here's why.
The short version
- The game library is finally deep and PS5-native — you're no longer paying flagship money to play PS4 games slightly faster.
- GTA 6 and the next wave of titles are built for current-gen hardware. A PS4 will be left behind.
- Prices have settled, and your old PS4 is worth real money now toward the upgrade — value that only falls from here.
The library finally justifies the box
A console is only as good as what you can play on it, and for a while the PS5's honest answer was "not much you couldn't already play." Not anymore. The catalogue is now full of games built from the ground up for the SSD, the DualSense haptics, and the GPU — experiences that simply don't exist on older hardware. Load times measured in seconds, not minutes. Triggers that fight back. Worlds that don't pause to stream themselves in.
And it's affordable to feed. At Ziggatech, current-gen titles start well under ₦100,000 — think GTA V (₦104,800), Spider-Man 2 (₦124,800), or EA SPORTS FC 25 (₦148,800) — so building a library doesn't mean a second mortgage.
GTA 6 is the line in the sand
Every console generation has a moment where the old hardware quietly becomes the past. For this one, that moment is GTA 6. It is being built for current-gen consoles, and it will pull a huge slice of the gaming world onto the PS5 with it. If you're still on a PS4, you'll be watching the biggest release in years from the wrong side of the fence. Upgrading now means you're ready when it drops — not scrambling for stock the week everyone else is.

Your PS4 is worth the most right now
Here's the part most people miss: the console sitting under your TV is a depreciating asset. Every month the PS5 matures, your PS4 is worth a little less. The smartest way to upgrade isn't to pay full price and let the old machine gather dust — it's to trade it in and put that value straight toward the PS5.
- Trade in your PS4 (or PS5, Xbox, even a Switch). Get a live valuation on our console trade-in page and knock a real chunk off the upgrade.
- Buy clean, buy verified. A used console should come tested and working, not as a gamble. Every Ziggatech console is checked before it ships — no surprises, no "as-is."
Bottom line
The PS5's slow years are over. The games are here, GTA 6 is coming, and prices have settled into reach. Waiting longer only costs you value on the PS4 you're holding. Browse PlayStation 5 consoles and games on Ziggatech, trade in your old console for instant credit, and step into current-gen before the next big drop — not after.
