Sony's PlayStation 5 has been out for almost a week now. You may be one of those who already own one. After playing through the PS5's launch titles, you're probably already itching for something new. So we rounded up the must-have PS5 accessories to match your brand-new next-gen console.
Oh, and if you haven't gotten your PS5 yet, don't worry. Treat this article as a guide for the must-have PS5 accessories you should pre-order along with your console.
1. A second DualSense™ Controller
One of the most noticeable differences Sony's PS5 has with Microsoft's Xbox Series X/S is its new DualSense™ controller. It introduces new experiences to gamers thanks to its innovative vibration and haptic feedback, among other things. The PS5's sleek-looking controller may just be the best gamepad someone could ask for right now.
However, the PS5 only ships with one DualSense™ controller. Of course, that won't do. What's the joy in playing video games if you can't share it with your best mates, right? Grabbing a second DualSense™ controller is non-negotiable. Plus, even if you're playing alone, you'd benefit from a second controller if ever you end up running out of batteries with your first one. Ran out of juice? Just switch controllers and continue playing while the other one charges. Easily the best PS5 accessory you could get for yourself.
Getting yourself a second DualSense™ controller will set you back by $69.99, but it's worth every penny spent.
2. DualSense™ Charging Station
Speaking of charging your pair of DualSense™ controllers, why not pick up a DualSense™ Charging Station as well? This nifty tool lets you free up some USB slots on your console, eliminating cable clutter around your pristine-looking console. Set this aside and let it charge your DualSense™ controllers while you're doing anything else aside from playing with your PS5.
The clutter-free set-up and hassle-free charging that this charging dock provides make it an essential PS5 accessory that you must buy. Pick it up for only $29.99 on Amazon.
3. PULSE™ 3D Wireless Headset
Whatever you are playing, you need to have a headset to fully immerse yourself in the world you're playing in. The PULSE™ 3D Wireless Headset gives you full-3D audio that really sets you in the setting of the game. While this headset falls along the more expensive side at $99.99, it's a worthy investment that you can use even outside your PS5 gaming. It can easily pair with any compatible Windows, iOS, Android, macOS devices, or even on other consoles, via Bluetooth. Can't connect wirelessly? No problem. PULSE™ 3D Wireless Headset can also do wired 3.5mm jacks.
4. PlayStation 5 Media Remote
If you're the kind of person who uses their consoles for activities other than gaming, then the PS5 Media Remote is for you. It gives you full control of your PS5, allowing you to switch between the console's array of entertainment options with just a few clicks. Compatible TVs can even be controlled by this amazing remote control. A single click of a button can get you straight to Netflix, Disney Plus, Spotify, or Youtube. Its intuitive controls will fully unlock your PS5's entertainment potential. Get one for only $29.99.
5. PlayStation 5 HD Camera
Finally, if you're planning to jumpstart your streaming career with the PlayStation 5, then you should go ahead and grab its matching HD Camera. Furthermore, this camera lends itself completely well to the PlayStation 5's built-in streaming options with Youtube and Twitch!
Capable of capturing images at 1080p, this PS5 accessory's dual wide-angle lenses will capture your gaming face throughout your sessions. It comes with a built-in stand and a software for background removal, which are basics you need covered when you're broadcasting. However, this PS5 accessory is easily the one you can pass up from this list, as aside from broadcasting, it doesn't really have any other use for your console.
If you're interested, you can pick this up for $59.99.
