10 PS5 Accessories Every Owner Should Have
By ADAM SWIDERSKI
PSVR 2 Headset
While the PSVR 2 headset has a hefty price of $549.99, the accessory is worth the investment. The comfortable, form-fitting headset has an OLED display running at 120Hz.
The PSVR 2 also easily streams directly to the TV and comes with first-rate features like eye tracking and two handheld controllers with excellent haptic feedback.
MP600 Pro LPX
The PS5’s 825 GB storage may sound like a lot, but this space can quickly fill up. Luckily, the PS5 has a second M.2 SSD slot, perfect for Corsair’s MP600 Pro LPX.
The MP600 Pro LPX comes in various sizes at affordable costs, but its true strength is its speeds, which can get up to 7,100 MB/s read and 6,800 MB/s write.
WD_Black P40
If you would rather use an external drive to store your PS5 games or play PS4 titles, WD_Black’s P40 is a fantastic option for the task.
The drive offers speed transfer speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s and comes in three competitively-priced capacity options: 500 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB.
Backbone One
Although the Backbone One isn’t exclusive to the console, the device connects to a smartphone and allows you to play PS5 games in a Nintendo Switch-like manner.
The Backbone One allows for smooth, effortless streaming and comes with other added perks, like pass-through charging and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Media Remote
The PS5 can stream content from many major networks, making the Media Remote a must for those who don’t want to use their controller to watch a show or movie.
Its layout and design feel more familiar for the functionality, and having a dedicated remote for media will let you save your controller’s battery life for games.
