Sony will likely release the official PS5 accessories in Europe even before the console itself. This is according to British retailers, who are calling it an unusual move.
With the exception of the new DualSense controller, the remote, headset, charging station, and camera are slated to be available starting November 12th, the day of the PS5's initial launch. The reason for this remains unclear, especially since most of these items are useless without a PS5. Only the headset could be used immediately.
UpdateThe controller and games are now also expected to be available in stores earlier, including in Germany. We were just informed by Otto.de that the PS5 headset will be delivered as early as November 12th. This likely applies to the rest of the accessories as well.
Official PS5 Accessories
Among the official PS5 accessories from Sony are:
- PULSE 3D Wireless HeadsetOffers support for 3D audio and two noise-canceling microphones;
- HD camera: with two 1080p lenses, so gamers can stream during particularly epic gameplay moments;
- Media remote control: a remote control with integrated microphone for easy navigation of movies and streaming services; as well as
- DualSense Charging Station: for convenient charging of two DualSense wireless controllers.
However, you're not necessarily limited to the original accessories. Almost all licensed PS4 accessories can also be used on the PS5, which is especially true for headsets and steering wheels. Furthermore, manufacturers have like Snakebyte We have already introduced a wide range of third-party accessories that are just as functional and usually more affordable. This is especially true for the popular charging station.
UpdateAn email from Sony to US customers even indicates that they will receive their accessories as early as October. It remains to be seen whether customers in other countries will receive them even earlier.
