Every PS5 purchase will come with a controller, but Sony has always bundled only one controller with its consoles and this time it’s no different. Now, playing alone is great but the real fun is playing with your friends. Unless they would be coming with their own controllers, it is recommended you get an extra for multiplayer games like FIFA.

PlayStation Plus

What is better than playing the games you love? Playing more games that you love! PlayStation Plus, which was introduced in the time of PS4, gives you access to monthly games to download among other benefits. This is a paid service and if you are interested, you can go to the official website here to find out what it requires.

PS camera

For serious gamers who want to stream their gameplay online on platforms like Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook, you’ll need a camera. Sony’s PS Camera itself is a great option to consider with the PS5. This camera will also allow you to remove and replace the background of your camera’s feed.

An external hard drive

The PlayStation 5 has limited space and we’re not entirely sure about how the SSD expansion will work on the console. So for now, we suggest you grab an external hard drive to store your older PS4 games. You won’t be able to use the HDD to play new PS5 titles but it’ll be a temporary home for your old library of games.
