The PS5 has everything you need to get things started, but that only scratches the surface of its potential. Extra kit can make your gaming experience significantly better, and it's well worth investing in - even after spending up to $500 on the console itself.

There aren't a great many out there yet, but we've selected everything you can buy to make your console the perfect gaming and media experience.&nbsp; Whether that means listening to your favorite game in the peace of a reliable headset, grabbing additional controllers for multiplayer, there's something out there to match your needs. Just remember that a lot of licensed PS4 accessories still work on both consoles, including flight sticks, steering wheels, and the DualShock 4 controller. But only for PS4 games, naturally.

What are the best PS5 accessories  

Most PS5 owners could certainly benefit from another DualSense controller, especially for multiplayer. That's why another gamepad may be exactly what you need to pick up next, as is the charging station to go with it.  That way, you can always have two DualSense controllers on hand at once, with one juiced up and ready to go whenever the battery runs out on the other.

With its adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, it's integral to the entire PlayStation 5 experience, especially when played with showcase titles like Astro's Playroom. The Pulse 3D Wireless Headset is a must-have to experience the PS5's 3D Audio capabilities.

With plush earpads and a sturdy headband strap, it not only complements the PS5's body, but also offers a great way to enjoy your game in peace as well as become further immersed in whatever title you're playing. The SteelSeries Arctis 7P Wireless headset is a great alternative if you're not as concerned with matching your console or going with the officially licensed product.

It's every bit as capable of delivering a high-quality aural experience, however, and offers a great alternative to anyone looking for a headset they can also use on PlayStation 4.&nbsp; If you want to use your new console as a media center, the new PS5 Media Remote is also worth looking into. And if the PS5's internal storage isn't enough for you, then the WD_Black SN850 SSD is one of the best options, and the only one that has the official Sony stamp of approval, if you want to make space for more PS5 games.

Similarly, 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.&nbsp; While you'll get a DualSense out of the box when you buy a PS5, it's always good to pick up an extra controller handy for multiplayer games.&nbsp;That said we do know that the ccustomizable DualSense Edge is coming at some point in the near future, so that's worth keeping an eye out for.

This is the official PlayStation headset from Sony, and is engineered to work with the PlayStation 5's 3D Audio capabilities. Plus, like the rest of the first crop of PS5 accessories, it looks just like the actual system.&nbsp; With plush 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, and even take it to your PS4 should you need a headset that makes sense on that system as well.

The DualSense Charging Station lets you charge up to two DualSense wireless controllers at the same time, all without having to keep them connected to the PlayStation 5.&nbsp; 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.

-So-so storage size-Some PS4 transfer slowdown You can't play PS5 games from an external hard drive right now, but you can still transfer them to an external drive to free up space on your console - it's faster than downloading and reinstalling them from scratch.  The best PS5 external hard drive we've tested is the Samsung Portable SSD T5, because of just how fast the thing is.

Copying Returnal to the drive only took seven minutes. It works great for PS4 games too, and we were able to load up Mass Effect: Andromeda from the drive in just 35 seconds, which is four seconds faster than the PS5's own internal SSD.&nbsp; (Image credit: PlayStation) <h3>9 PlayStation Plus</h3>Get the most out of your console with online services <h4>Specifications</h4>Compatibility: PS4, PS5, PC (Premium tier only)Today's Best DealsView at CDKeys (opens in new tab)View at Amazon (opens in new tab)View at Walmart (opens in new tab) <h4>Reasons to buy</h4>+Exclusive content and discounts+Additional cloud storage+Share Play and Online multiplayer+Catalogue of downloadable and streaming titles+Access to classic games on modern consoles <h4>Reasons to avoid</h4>-Not cheap-Free games can be hit and miss-Classic games are exclusive to Premium tier If you want to get the most out of your PS5, and its games, you should consider subscribing to PS Plus.

It's going through some changes in the near future, with Sony doing its best to compete with Xbox Game Pass. Three tiers of subscription are coming, the cheapest of which is PlayStation Plus Essential.

This $10 a month, or $60 a year plan is essentially the same as PS Plus right now. That means you get the same benefits, including online play, cloud saves, two new downloadable games per month, and discounts at the PlayStation Store.

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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; The biggest recommendation for anyone looking to purchase any PS5 accessories at the moment is an additional DualSense Controller. Anyone can add this to their PS5 collection and benefit from it.&nbsp; It's also worth noting that the PS5 works with most major PS4 accessories, such as the DualShock 4 controller and a variety of headsets including the Turtle Beach Recon 70, specialty controllers and storage drives.
