The best PS5 accessories

The PS5 is home to gaming experiences you can’t find on any other console. While popular PS5 titles such as Helldivers 2

, Ghost of Tsushima, and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 eventually made their way to Steam and the Epic Games Store on PC, the PS5 is still a fantastic way to play those games. Plus, only with a PS5 can you play exclusives like Astro Bot and other great PS5 games that debut on Sony’s console long before arriving on PC. And, with the PS5 Pro console, you’ll get enhanced visuals that rival what pricier gaming PCs are capable of.

If you already own a PS5 or PS5 Pro, just bought one, or will be buying one soon, there’s just a handful of accessories that I think will help you have a better time with it. In addition to my favorite accessories, I’ve rounded up recommendations from the entire Polygon crew for what they use to improve their PS5 experience. This post may be updated due to availability or when new accessories hit the market.
