(Pocket-lint) – The PS5 is finally upon us – Sony’s console is out at long last, although you might be finding that it goes in and out of stock as retailers keep up with demand. 

• Sony PlayStation 5 review: A glorious new era

The console is an absolute stunner, and we’re loving our time with it, but whenever a new console comes out there are also going to be a host of little extras that you could pick up to enrich your experience. We’ve gathered some of the very best for you right here. 

The best PS5 accessories to buy today

PlayStation 5 DualSense Wireless Controller

Sony’s new controller looks absolutely lovely with the new white-dominated color scheme, and brings some great innovations to the table, too, not least an upgraded haptic feedback engine that makes unsubtle rumble a thing of the past. 

Getting an extra one of these on board for your new PS5 is a must to make sure you can host couch co-op sessions straight away.

PlayStation 5 PULSE 3D Wireless Headset

The PS5 might just have the best sound quality we’ve ever experienced from a console, in our usage so far (Demon’s Souls in particular sounds amazing), so a good headset is a must to really feel the benefits. 

Sony’s own effort is a good starting point – it’s fairly well priced for a wireless set of cans and is tuned for the console specifically, which is always welcome.

DualSense Charging Station

If you’ve got a couple of controllers, being able to keep them nice and charged without having to worry about fussy cables can be a god-send, making this charging station easy to recommend.

It’ll house two controllers at once to make sure you’re never caught short without any power.

KontrolFreek Thumbsticks

If you find that DualSense’s sticks aren’t quite right for your hands, or that your fingers keep slipping off, thumbstick caps could be a great answer.

KontrolFreek are the biggest name in this area for good reason, with loads of types and heights of stick to pick from. We’re big fans of the Galaxy version for its grippiness, but the Omni type is also really nice.

Sony PS5 Media Remote

If you have people in your home who can’t be bothered with a controller if they’re just trying to use the PS5 to stream a movie or some TV, this media remote is a perfect fit.

It’ll ensure that you’ve got easy media controls and shortcuts to your favorite services.

Sony PS5 HD Camera

Whether you want to record clips of you reacting to your own gameplay or use PlayStation VR on your new console, this latest-generation camera is the perfect tool for you.

Background-removal tools make it easy to crop in on yourself, and while not everyone will need it, this is a great shortcut for those who love to share their clips and highlights.
