Does it work with PS5 or Xbox?
Yes. Via HDMI 2.0 it supports 1080p at 120Hz on consoles. For 144Hz you need the DisplayPort input with a PC.
Is it worth upgrading to 1440p?
If your graphics card can handle 1440p games smoothly, yes. The visual quality jump is noticeable. For mid-to-low-end cards, 1080p 144Hz is the sweet spot.
