Best PS5 accessories
If you've been lucky (and patient) enough to snag a Sony PlayStation 5 console during a PS5 restock, then congrats on your luck (and patience). But we've got a question for you: What are you doing for an encore?
Your cool, new gaming system needs some cool, new accessories: maybe an extra PS5 wireless controller (or two!), maybe a PS5 wireless headset, perhaps even – why not? – a Gran Turismo 7-worthy racing wheel.

Here's a look at some top-rated, PS5-compatible accessories you can buy today at Amazon and Walmart. (And if you know someone who's still PS5-less, then be sure to have them check out our regularly updated PS5 restock guide.)
Sony PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller
Sure, the PS5 console package comes complete with one wireless PS5 DualSense controller, but one controller is never enough. Buy an extra (or two!) for in-person, multiplayer action. Or, keep an extra (or two!) handy for when the original is broken following a display of old-fashioned gaming rage.

PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller – Cosmic Red
While white is the standard color for the PS5 console – and the PS5 controller – Sony offers the DualSense in a variety of big, bold colors, including red (pictured), purple and black. On Amazon, prices vary. At last look, the pink and blue models (like the standard white) ran a few dollars cheaper than the red, purple and black ones.

Logitech G29 gaming racing wheel with pedals, $281 (reduced from $400)
The PS5-compatible Logitech G Dual-Motor Feedback Driving Force G29 racing wheel-style controller is a solid choice for racing games. "The brake pedal has great feeling," a verified reviewer raves. "It is just like a real car (albeit not a race car, but how many "normal" people would have the leg strength for that?)... You can very easily go hard braking from high speeds and slightly pull it back as the car slows down so the wheels don't lock up."
Sounds like a nice match for the relatively new Gran Turismo 7. The wheel comes complete with a set of pedals.

PlayStation 5 Pulse 3D Wireless Headset
This wireless, USB-charging Sony headset is designed to deliver the PS5's 3D audio. It features two built-in mics, and promises up to 12 hours of gaming immersion on a full charge.

PlayStation Media Remote
Also from Sony, this remote allows you to stream Netflix, Disney+ and more from your PS5 with the touch of a button. It also makes powering up, powering off and adjusting the volume a breeze. It's great for those who use their PlayStation as their primary media player.
PlayStation DualSense Charging Station
If you took our advice, and got an extra PS5 DualSense controller, then you've got two PS5 controllers to charge. No worries! This charging station from Sony just so happens to accommodate two PS5 controllers. Plug in the device via the supplied AC adaptor, click your DualSense controllers into place, and – boom! – you're on your way (and all without having to use one of your PS5's precious USB ports).

PlayStation HD Camera
Take your PS5 gameplay broadcast to the next level with this PS5-compatible camera from Sony. It delivers 1080p, or full HD, picture quality. With a PlayStation Network account, you can activate the camera via a button on your PS5 DualSense controller.
