eXtremeRate RGB LED Light Strip
This LED light strip comes with seven colour options and 29 visual effects to make your gaming experience bright and personalised just for you. You can update your PlayStation light set-up today for $37.50 and save $24.
DualSense Charging Station
Similarly, while the console comes with a charging cable to recharge the controllers, this is a separate charging station that will definitely come in handy. It can change two controllers at once without needing to connect to the console – keeping a USB port free. It also charges as quickly as it would when connected to the console, so it's a win-win. This charging station is now on sale on Amazon for 36 per cent off.
DualSense Wireless Controller
While the PlayStation 5 comes with a DualSense Wireless Controller, it's often a good idea to have a spare – most often used for two-player games. The controller that comes with the console is also white, but there are other colours to choose from including cosmic red, galactic purple, midnight black and starlight blue, all depending on their gaming aesthetic. Get yours now for 18 per cent off.
HD Camera
One of the more modern ways to game is to film yourself playing and sharing your reactions. This HD camera is made for filming PS5 players and gameplay. It is operated through the create button on the DualSense wireless controller where you can either film yourself, the gameplay, or both via a picture-in-picture mode. You can buy yours now for $79.
Automatic Cooling Fan
Every gamer knows that when you're playing, the device will get hot. When it gets hot, it can crash, leaving all your recent game progression unsaved – it's a worst-case scenario for any player. This cooling fan will turn on automatically when it detects the console reaching a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius and will turn off when it cools down to 28 degrees Celsius. While it cools using its three inbuilt fans, it also uses a suction device to circulate the air, bringing the temperature down faster.
ElecGear PS5 NVMe SSD Solid Aluminium Cooler
It may look small, but this newly created cooler designed specifically to be used on the PlayStation 5 works as well and just as hard as any larger console cooler. Measuring only 14cm x 7.8cm x 1.7cm, it is designed to work silently, absorb heat and use the internal fan to keep it cool.
It is made using a heat pipe and solid aluminium heatsink with cooling fins. It is placed in the middle frame of your PS5 chassis to streamline the air coming from the internal PlayStation fan. The cooling fins cool the air and utilises the fan to circulate it where it's needed in the console.
DualSense Edge Stick Module
After long hours of gaming, it's natural for your equipment to start losing its edge and slowly wear down. This DualSense Edge Stick Module acts as a replacement for the current stick module on your DualSense controller. So while you aim, shoot, run or play your favourite PS5 games, you'll have a fresh stick available to play with precision every time and working with the right equipment.
eXtremeRate Chameleon Green and Purple Controller Shell
You often have to play like a chameleon, hiding in the shadows so your opponent doesn't see you and you can go in for the win. So why not bring that same energy to your controller with his green and purple chameleon shell.
PlayStation Logo Light Up Controller Holder
This is a must-have for PlayStation purists. This controller holder is shaped exactly like the PlayStation logo. For added flair, the symbols and edges also light up in blue.
Pulse 3D Headset
The Pulse 3D Headset is designed specifically to be used when playing the PS5. It is powered by Tempest 3D Audio Tech to create immersive sounds when playing – in other words, it will sound like the player is in the world and landscape of the game, hearing what their avatar would hear according to where they are.
It also has two built-in microphones, has noise cancelling features and can last 12 hours wireless before needing the batteries to recharge. This model is midnight black, but it also comes in grey camouflage and white.
Faceplate Replacement Plate Cover
The best way to explain a faceplate for a gaming console is like a cover or screen protector for your phone – it's an added little bit of protection. This black faceplate is made from strong ABS plastic that is shockproof and scratch resistant. It also has a frosted surface to avoid fingerprint marks, so your PS5 will stay like new.
Sisma Video Game Storage Case
You've got to keep all those games somewhere. This storage case is a great option, holding up to 22 PS5 game discs. It's also not just for your PlayStation 5, but for all your modern consoles.
Media Remote
You can do more than just play on your PlayStation 5. You can access a whole range of entertainment like Netflix and YouTube all through this Media Remote. It also helps navigate the console menus easier, so not everything is operated through the controllers.
KiwiHome Vertical Stand with Suction Cooling Fan and Auto-Speed
This stand does everything you want and need it to do. It keeps the console cool with two built-in suction fans and three fan speed settings, three USB hubs, eight RGB lighting effect settings, a wireless controller charging dock and can store up to 10 games. What more do you need?
KontrolFreek Performance Grips
Hardcore gaming is at times similar to a sport, so you need the proper equipment to achieve the best results. These controller grips allow for an easier hold on the controller while reducing slipping and keeping hands dry.
USB Hub, five ports
If you need more USB ports on your PS5, this is the one to choose. This option comes with five ports: four 2.0 USB ports and one fast charging port.
PlayVital Custom Vinyl Decal Skins
Remember the bright, old school branding of PlayStation? Well, you can bring that into your new model with these vinyl skin decals. It comes with three original styles of the red, blue, teal and yellow colouring, but also has nine new colours. The decals can be stuck on the underlay of the console and add a personal touch – especially for those who have been playing PlayStation since the first edition.
NexiGo Horizontal Stand
Everyone's gaming setup is different. The PlayStation 5 is designed to stand upright, but if that won't work with your arrangement, this NexiGo horizontal stand will safely hold the console flat while protecting it to avoid any scratching.
PS VR Adapter
Now that the PlayStation VR 2 has been released, it's been a big seller and popular among PlayStation fans. If you've still got the original PS VR, you can connect it to your PS5 using this adapter.

NexiGo Headphone Holder
Many people go all out with their gaming additions, but some things can stay simple. This headphone holder attaches to the console through a hanger and supporting bar, so you always know where it is and will never get lost. It's a really simple, clean design specifically for the PS5 and the console's sleek exterior.
Logitech G G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel
Racing games often aren't as good when you're driving on your regular controller. This Logitech G G39 Racing Wheel creates a significantly more immersive sense of being behind the wheel and driving in your favourite racing games. It has a 900-degree rotation, pressure-sensitive breaks, customisable and adjustable pedals, and a helical gearing system.
Sisma DualSense Wireless Controller Travel Case
Keep your controllers safe and secure with this shockproof travel case. This model is designed specifically for the DualSense wireless controllers, so won't add any pressure to the joysticks or buttons.
GeekShare Animal Theme Controller Thumbsticks
Not all games are filled with battles, war, violence and weapons. Some are super sweet and cute for all ages. These thumbsticks are suited just for games like these. They are shaped like little cats and dogs. There are four in a pack, so you can put them on two controllers, or if you have any other consoles like PS4 or a Nintendo Switch Pro, they will fit on them too.
Synced Colour Changing LED Ring Lights
This LED lighting strip has a ring-shaped design that is made to fit onto the PS5 cooling fan frame. It has over 400 light effect settings in eight different colours and can be synced to music and sound effects – to make it look like the console is reacting to the game.
PlayVital Grey Nylon Dust Cover
Keep your console clean and safe when not playing with this nylon cover. It has a double internal lining to help keep dust, pet hairs and other household debris away. It also helps to avoid any scratches and other trauma to the console. It's easy to remove, and no cables need to be altered or moved when taking the cover off.
If this grey cover isn't your style, there are 24 different styles to choose from, including pink camouflage, blue nebula, surreal lava, and plenty more.
Venom Multi-Colour LED Light-up Console Stand
With eight LED colour lighting options, this stand will prove why the PlayStation 5 was so longed for. It is USB powered and connects directly to the console, it can be adjusted on colour, brightness and if the player wants a solid or pulsing light-emitting. Buy it today and save 25 per cent.
Western Digital 1TB Game Drive SSD card
While the console itself comes with 825GB of internal storage, that sometimes is not quite enough, especially if there are multiple people playing and saving on the same console, or if there are multiple game save files. This SSD drive creates an additional 1TB of storage, so you can play as much as you want without the risk of not being able to save.
If you're looking for more or less storage data, these SSD drives start from 500GB and go all the way up to 8TB.
