You have a new console but what now? Here are some essential accessories to consider.
The next generation of games consoles are here and, as you can see from our Xbox Series X review and PS5 review, the future for gaming is a rather rosy one. Both Sony and Microsoft have created consoles that take advantage of some of the most advanced imaging specs and computer graphics around, and while we may have to wait for more native games to launch to truly test the tech on show, the consoles are a towering achievement – the PS5 in more ways than one. By now we are sure that you have made your choice between Sony’s space-age juggernaut and Microsoft’s big box of wonders but you have another choice to make – in fact, you have quite a few. A new console launch also means the arrival of a whole slew of gaming accessories. From headsets to controllers, expandable storage to HD cameras. To make sure that you are fully prepared for the next-gen, you have got some planning to do. We are here to help. Here’s what you need to consider when it comes to the right accessories for your next-gen console. Before you click to buy, it’s worth noting that Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals are just around the corner, so you may well get the chance to nab a bargain or two… One of the biggest bugbears about any console launch is that you only ever get one game controller. Even with the popularity of streaming and the millions of players you can do battle with online, there’s a fair chance that you will be wanting to play against a mate, sibling or even parent at some point. The new Sony PS5 controller is called DualSense and is one of the most advanced ever made, featuring haptic feedback, dynamic trigger effects and an in-built mic.
