The best PS5 accessories are designed to help take your current gaming experience one step further with Sony’s flagship console. It is no longer that hard to buy a new PlayStation 5 as it was once, but its capabilities are still impressive. The cybernetic clamshell tower of a console is packed to the gills with killer hardware. But as they say, the cheese cannot stand alone. Having top notch accessories for your Play Station 5 can help transform your console experience from good into great.
There are multiple ways you can upgrade your current gaming space, be it for increased comfort, immersion, or general peace of mind. Whether you’ve had your PS5 since launch day, or only just picked up Sony’s latest console, there are a bunch of extras that can unlock its hidden potential.
Rundown on The Best PS5 Accessories
The PS5 comes with everything you need to get started, but the sooner you pick up some extra kit the better it’ll be. The PS5 may have cost you $500 already, but those extra peripherals are good essentials and well worth investing in. Here’s a rundown on the best PS5 accessories that one can buy right now.
DualSense Controller
The PlayStation 5 DualSense controller is integral to the PS5 experience. The DualSense controller can easily be considered one of the most essential PS5 accessories as it’s highly likely you’re going to want to play with friends. The controller’s adaptive triggers offer varying levels of tension when pressed down. It can feel like drawing a bowstring back or shooting a particularly powerful gun. Plus, there’s a built-in microphone and headset jack as well as a grippy texture that should feel good in any hands. You can use the PS5 DualSense controller on a PC with a wired connection using USB, so you can make the most of your PC games with Sony’s sleek controller.

PlayStation HD CAMERA
If you plan on streaming to Twitch or YouTube directly from your PS5, this HD Camera is going to be very important. This more than capable camera comes with a built-in stand that makes it look just like the PlayStation 5, with the same monochromatic color scheme, and a suite of tools that mean it’s immediately compatible with the system as a piece of streaming equipment.

It comes with special background removal tools to ensure you can cut out what’s around you when you stream as well, as well as the option to broadcast via picture-in-picture. It can even crop out or replace your background.
Pulse 3D wireless headset
A headset can be an integral part of any gaming setup, and the PlayStation Pulse 3D Wireless Headset seems to be Sony’s best one yet. This is the official PlayStation headset from Sony, and is engineered to work with the PS5’s 3D Audio capabilities. With luxurious earcups and an adjustable headstrap, it’s designed for long gaming sessions, equipped with hidden noise cancelling microphones. You can adjust audio and chat settings straight from the headset, and use this attractive headset for up to 12 hours wirelessly with its rechargeable battery.

Sony DualSense Charging Station
Another thing you will need is a charging dock. This is the official charger from Sony, so it matches the cyber-clam aesthetic of the PS5, which is a plus. They look really cute together. This helps you free up USB ports from the PS5, and holds your controllers securely in one place. When you’ve exhausted one controller’s battery, drop it into the dock, hear the click to know it’s properly positioned, and then pick up the other controller for a freshly-charged controller so you can jump into your favorite game that much quicker. It’s also a great option for families who need multiple controllers charged at once for multiplayer sessions.

PS5 Media remote
While the PS5 Media Remote isn’t strictly necessary, we think it’s definitely worth considering for anyone who uses their PS5 console as their main multimedia machine. As people who spend just as much time watching the likes of Netflix and Disney Plus on their machine as they do gaming, this inexpensive item could conserve crucial juice in your DualSense while having a few tricks of its own, too.

The PS5 Media Remote uses standard AA batteries which is great. You can expect around 12 hours of playback way longer than The DualSense by comparison.
