In the Modern Games section of the forum, it still says PS4, Xbox One and Switch. To be fair, those consoles are not the modern consoles anymore and instantly make the forum look older than it actually is.

I'd argue this site started as a retro game collecting site. and while you could tops argue those consoles are last gen. they are still very much modern.

heck in terms of visuals the differences are pretty minimal.

that being said I guess they could add ps5 and switch 2 to them banners. not to sure if xbox one games and xbox one x games actually have a difference though

The debate of where modern games start and retro games end has been debated to death, including here. I think we can all agree that the current generation (PS5, Switch, Switch 2, and XB S/X) are all modern, but for me, modern pretty much includes the current gen and previous gen. I know many would argue the 7th gen (PS3, 360, and Wii) aren't retro, but going back and playing almost any game from that time period feels like a time capsule of culture and game design that simply does not exist anymore. It's crazy just how old games from that generation feel now.
