Transform Your PS5 Setup with These Essential Accessories

The PlayStation 5 is one of the most popular gaming consoles, and there is plenty of excitement about the upcoming release of the PS5 Pro. Still, not as many people are aware of the many accessories that are available for the system. Let’s take a look at some of the best ones that you can get right now.

DualSense Edge

While the DualSense paddle that comes with the PS5 is one of the best controllers ever, the DualSense Edge takes it one step further with many customizable features you never knew you needed. These include the ability to remap the function of any button, switch the stip tips and back paddles for increased comfort and control, and adjust trigger stops that allow for faster input.

The DualSense Edge also allows you to set up multiple profiles so you can switch button configurations at the touch of a button, and it’s easy to set up to work with your PS5.

Pulse 3D Wireless Headset

Sony designed the Pulse 3D Wireless Headset to take full advantage of the PS5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech, which provides an immersive three-dimensional soundscape. They make it easier to locate incoming enemies and improve the overall sound of any game. They are also perfect for streaming movies or music, and they don’t crush your head while wearing them for extended periods.

DualSense Charging Station

If you have more than one controller, you need the dual-sense charging station. While there are several third-party alternatives, they never seem to work as well. This system charges the controllers as quickly as plugging them in directly. It’s wireless, so you can place it out of the way, and it frees up the USB port so you can use an external drive to transfer images and video or store games.

PS5 Media Remote

If you stream a lot of movies on your PlayStation, the PS5 media remote can make it a lot easier. It has dedicated buttons to open various apps like Netflix and YouTube, as well as dedicated buttons to play, rewind, and fast-forward video, among others,  which can sometimes be difficult with the controller, depending on which app you are using.

Seagate FireCuda 530 NVMe SSD

The PS5’s internal storage can fill up quickly, especially with the growing size of modern games. The Seagate FireCuda 530 NVMe SSD provides a significant storage boost without sacrificing speed. It’s perfect for people who like to keep several games ready to play, and it’s not difficult to install.

PlayStation 5 HD Camera

If you like to stream yourself playing games, the PlayStation 5 HD Camera allows you to broadcast in sharp 1080p quality. Also, it has tools to remove the background and make other improvements so you can focus more on the game and less on the technical setup. It has a built-in stand and sets up effortlessly with your PS5.

The PlayStation Portal

If you want to enjoy some game time away from the main screen, you can use the PlayStation Portal and WiFI to stream the games remotely. It provides an 8-inch screen with a 60 FPS refresh rate for a great gaming experience, and the built-in DualSense controller makes it instantly familiar and comfortable to use. The only downside to this accessory is that you can’t play cloud-based games on it.
