Best PS5 accessories that will enhance your gaming experience

From controllers to memberships, here’s everything you need to give yourself a gaming edge

Whether you buy the digital or disc edition of the PlayStation 5 , the console comes with everything you need to get started, right down to an all-important HDMI cable.

But what if you want to game with friends and family on the same console? Or maybe you want a set of first-party gaming headphones , and a media remote to turn your PS5 into the perfect TV streamer and Blu-ray movie player? For that, you’re going to need some accessories.

Whether you’re looking to simplify how you recharge your controllers or want some extra storage space, the PlayStation 5 accessories field is slowly but surely expanding to help you out. If you’re an avid streamer, the PS5 HD camera is a big help, while if you want to play games with friends on the sofa, you’ll need extra controllers

PlayStation 5 owners already get one PlayStation 5 dualsense controller in the box, but to play with others on the sofa, you really need another one, and the official PlayStation 5 dualsense controller is the best of the bunch. It has a comfortable ergonomic fit that moulds around your hands nicely, no matter what sized hands you have, and its buttons feel sleek and high-end. Besides looking and feeling good, it also has some useful features such as haptic feedback, which is a form of far superior vibration, and a set of trigger buttons that are much more responsive and tactile than previous PlayStation controllers. It’s the natural next step for a PlayStation controller and it’s arguably the best thing about the console. A second one is an essential addition for everyone but the most antisocial player.

If you’re keen to be the next Twitch gaming sensation, then the HD camera is a must-have. It’s remarkably easy to set up – simply plug it into a relevant port on your PlayStation 5 then take a moment to align it so it captures your face perfectly. Its stylings mean it ties into the PlayStation 5 aesthetic, so it won’t steal focus next to your TV. Once set up, you can hit the Share button on your controller and begin streaming away so that viewers can see your facial reactions while you play.

There’s no shortage of gaming headset options out there but the PlayStation 5 pulse 3D wireless headset is a little bit special. Made with certain PlayStation 5 games in mind, its 3D audio means you can feel fully immersed in the experience, feeling like things are truly happening all around you. It’s a distinctive way of doing things that stands out more so than conventional headsets, even if not all games fully take advantage of it just yet. It can help you gain an advantage in certain titles too, which is always useful.

Right now, since the PS5 is essentially still in its early days, there isn’t a lot to choose from. You could pick up only what you need, however, out of what is available, and that might mean only going for a DualSense Controller and its accompanying Charging Station if you’re not planning on doing any live streaming. 

If you need a way to experience what the PlayStation 5 has to offer in terms of audio, you can opt for products like the Pulse 3D Wireless Headset, which has a variety of uses. 

The biggest recommendation for anyone looking to purchase any PS5 accessories now is an additional DualSense Controller. Anyone can add this to their PS5 collection and benefit from it.
