Best PlayStation 5 Accessories to Buy

The PlayStation 5 is a current-generation gaming console from Sony. It comes bundled with almost everything you need to get started. However, the console also has a good ecosystem of accessories to enhance your gaming experience. You can choose from new DualSense variants, PS VR2, external SSDs for more storage, racing wheels, and much more. Check out these best PlayStation 5 accessories you can buy.

Best PlayStation 5 Accessories to Buy

DualSense Controller

If you want to play local multiplayer games on the PS5, you must have at least two DualSense controllers. Unfortunately, the PlayStation 5 comes with only one unless you have purchased a bundle with two controllers. This is why the PS5 DualSense controller becomes an essential accessory to have for local multiplayer gameplay.

Sony keeps releasing the DualSense controller in different colour finishes and limited editions. It means you do not have to purchase the additional controller in the same White colour.

Price: Rs 5,990 (standard White colour), special variants’ prices vary

DualSense Charging Station

DualSense Charging Station is the official PlayStation accessory for charging two DualSense controllers without connecting to the console. It has slots for docking-in controllers when you are not gaming so that when you do want to play, they are not running low on power. It is a convenient and easy-to-use charging solution for your controllers. You can also find multiple third-party options with fancy lights, if that’s something you like.

Price: Rs 2,590

PS5 Access Controller

The PS5 Access is an accessibility controller for gamers with disability. It has swappable buttons and stick caps along with adjustable stick length to make it adapt to your particular mobility. The controller can be placed in any 360-degree orientation, on different flat surfaces, or even on a wheelchair tray. Players can even set up to three profiles on the controller and up to 30 profiles on the PS5 console settings.

Price: Rs 7,700

PS5 Disc Holder/Stand

A disc holder/stand is an accessory worth consideration for gamers who prefer buying physical games. It will help you effectively store all your physical discs. Sony does not offer an official disc holder which means third-party options are the only way to go. You can opt for any third-party disc holder based on your budget and disc storage capacity. Some holders also offer support for storing your controller and headsets.

SSD

The PlayStation 5 (original) and PS5 Slim come with 825GB and 1TB internal storage respectively. This storage capacity is not enough for keeping multiple games installed, especially if they happen to be around hundreds of GBs. The good thing is that PS5 supports storage expansion through external SSD. You can have a look at the WD_Black SN850P which is the officially licensed M.2 SSD for the PS5.

It is available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB storage options. It can deliver up to 7,300MB/s read speeds and also has a heat sink. The only downside is that it costs a lot. You can certainly consider other cheaper SSD options with similar specifications.

Price: Rs 13,999 for 1TB SSD WD_Black SN850P

Headphones and Earbuds

If you want to have an immersive audio experience or simply want to play games without disturbing others in the room, you will need a pair of headphones or earbuds. Sony’s official offerings include Pulse 3D and Pulse Elite wireless headphones along with Pulse Explore wireless earbuds. Each of these offers support for PlayStation 3D audio available with compatible games. Besides this, Sony also has its Inzone lineup of headphones.

PlayStation Pulse Explore

If you do not want to go for official PS5 audio products, you can always opt for a third-party headphone or earbuds.

Price: Pulse 3D for Rs 8,590; Pulse Elite for Rs 12,990; Pulse Explore for Rs 18,990

Racing Wheel

If you are a fan of racing games, a good racing wheel is what you need for an ultimate racing experience. A racing wheel is an accessory that usually comes with a steering wheel and acceleration/brake pedals. Some of them even offer a gear shifter for a complete driving/racing simulation. There are many options to choose from depending on what you want and your budget.

Some of the best racing wheels for PS5 include the Logitech G29 (Rs 29,990), Logitech G923 (Rs 42,995), ThrustMaster T300 RS GT Edition (Rs 44,989), and ThrustMaster T80 Ferrari 488 GTB Edition (Rs 13,989).

PlayStation VR2

The PlayStation VR2 aka PSVR2 is a dedicated VR headset for the PlayStation 5. It will let you have a high-end premium VR experience and play PlayStation VR games. This VR headset is compatible with 4K HDR and offers 110-degree FoV, two OLED displays (2000 x 2040 pixels), position tracking, and eye tracking.

Price: Rs 50,800

PlayStation HD Camera

The PlayStation HD Camera is a webcam that makes it easier for users to stream their PS5 gameplay on platforms like YouTube and Twitch. It has dual wide-angle lenses that can record in 1080p aka Full HD resolution. The camera has a built-in adjustable stand and can easily be placed above or below your TV. It is compatible with the console’s native background removal tools.

Price: Rs 5,190

PlayStation Portal

The PlayStation Portal is a remote player that can be used to play PS5 games from anywhere without requiring a TV/monitor. It is essentially a DualSense controller split into two halves and an 8-inch Full HD IPS display in between. It can offer smooth gameplay (1080p at 60fps) through a stable high-speed WiFi connection. However, you must keep your PS5 powered on or at least in rest mode to play games on the Portal.

Price: Rs 18,990

PS5 Console Covers

The PlayStation 5 comes with White console covers/faceplates which can get boring to look at after a while. The good thing is these faceplates are user-replaceable. You can easily choose from numerous console designs available in the market. Sony also has its official lineup of Chroma console covers that cost Rs 5,569 each. Choose the one that suits your style and budget the best.

These are the best PlayStation 5 accessories you can get. Sony also offers the vertical stand as a separate purchase, but that’s really unfortunate. We believe it should be a part of the bundle, so we won’t be including it in the list.
