I think the smart thing, all else being equal, would be to release it for PC now with high end specs with the understanding that it will run on PS5 and Series X when they launch. That would actually make them a high profile launch game for the new consoles. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they are getting a deal from Sony and/or Microsoft to launch the game on the current console. That is the only real logical reason I can see why they'd make the game for current consoles.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
