What Accessories Should I Get for My PS5 Slim Disc?

-

I’m planning to buy a PS5 Slim with a disc drive and I’m looking for advice on what additional accessories I might need. I already have a TV, but since I have a bunch of friends who also own PS5s and some who don’t, I’m considering getting extra controllers and anything else that might enhance my experience. Any suggestions on must-have items?

The PS5 Slim comes pretty much ready to go except for the TV/monitor and a comfy spot to sit. Everything else like a headset, extra controller, controller charging dock, or even an external drive are nice extras but not necessary. It really depends on how you play!

You might want to grab a vertical stand! There are some quality budget options on AliExpress, plus the official one if you’re into that. Also, since you’re planning to have friends over, consider getting a charging dock for your controllers; it’s super handy!

I feel like I’m in the minority here, but honestly, the vertical stand seems unnecessary for the slim version. Just stick with the horizontal setup it comes with.
