Redditor Goes Viral After Gifting PS5 To His Best Friend

An awesome Redditor has gone viral after gifting his best friend of 15 years a PS5 so that they can play together.

In today’s current pandemic climate keeping in touch with family and friends is more important than ever especially during times of isolation.

Over the years social media and gaming have never been more important, as we can forge the best of friendships without even having to meet in person (which is still nice to do of course, pandemic-permitting).

For many of us, this has become even more important during adulthood, where playing video games in whatever spare time we may or not get is of the utmost importance.

As we’re at the start of a new console generation, some of us may leave our older consoles behind for the new shinier version. However in a generation of cross-platform gaming, it’s never been easier to game with friends regardless of the platform.

Yet a Redditor recently took being a gaming buddy to the next level by buying his best friend a PS5.

In a Reddit post, user ghost_knight1121 revealed that they began gaming with their best friend since Rainbow Six: Vegas – a good 15 years ago – on the Xbox 360. The two best friends have been gaming since then, and have even been best men at each other’s weddings.

“Been gaming with this dude for 15 years,” the user said in the now-viral post. “Since Rainbow Six Vegas on 360. I have some good gaming memories with him. He tried but couldn’t get one. Little did he know I was able to get him one. Looking forward to playing another generation with him.”

To make this story even more heart-warming the best friend who received the PS5 as a gift was unable to secure a pre-order of his own, so you can imagine their delight when they received this amazing gift.

This really is a feel-good story to brighten up just about anyone’s day.  However I’m just gonna put this out there if any of my friends wants to buy me either a PS5 or Xbox Series X (I’m not picky) then you’re more than welcome.
