Ordinarily this slot in the article would be reserved for a third-party product that excels over whatever standard controller comes packed-in with the PlayStation. That being said, there's just no beating the premium feel and features set of the DualSense, a controller that enjoys a 4.7 /5 star rating (after 757 Amazon reviews).

Sony has created something truly game-changing here, thanks to adaptive force feedback L2 and R2 triggers, not to mention a new level of immersion that's delivered through your fingertips via superior haptics technology. Honestly, this one is going to be tough for peripherals manufacturers to improve upon.

Best PlayStation 5 hard drive: Seagate 2TB Officially Licensed

Pros

• Decent read/write speeds for the price.
• Stylish design compliments your console.

Cons

• Can't hold PS5 games.
• Seagate's prices get unreasonable above the 2TB mark.

In no time flat you're going to need a storage solution like Seagate's Official Licensed 2TB HDD, a product with a 4.8 /5 star rating (after 14,000+ Amazon reviews). Though it says 1TB on the side of your PlayStation 5 box, you'll soon discover that's closer to 800GB of usable space.

Second of all, the PS5 is very big on PS4 backwards compatibility, not to mention a generous PlayStation Plus program that will hand you free digitally acquired games that can be 40-50GB apiece. Seagate offers a high-speed and sveltely designed solution to all of this here.

Best PlayStation 5 headphones: Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless Gaming Headset, Black

Pros

• Almost noise-cancelling levels of isolation.
• Doesn't go too obnoxiously "game-y" with the aesthetics.

Cons

• Microphone quality isn't best in class.
• Cable isn't removable.

You'll get the most out of your PS5's next-generation sound processing tech with Razer's BlackShark V2 Gaming Headset, a product that enjoys a 4.3 /5 star Amazon rating (after 88 reviews). In layman's terms: the PS5's Tempest Engine is effectively a dedicated sound processing chip that drives 3D audio. A quality set of cans like the BlackShark will offer you a new level of dimensionality from hundreds of in-game sound sources.

Even better, the build quality of these is second to none. The earpads are made of an especially comfy memory foam covered in layers of mesh fabric.

Best PlayStation 5 TV: Sony X9000H 55inch 4K Full Array LED Android TV 2020

Pros

• Voice control with Google Assistant.
• Lets you upscale HD sources to near-4K with 4K X-Reality PRO.

Cons

• UI comes with invasive advertising.
• Scattered user complaints of Wi-Fi connectivity issues.

If you want to harness the full potential of the amazing graphics horsepower of a PS5 console, you'll need to buy one of the new HDMI 2.1 enabled TVs. Sony's X9000H is such a product, and it comes with a 4.5 /5 star rating (after 1,000+ Amazon reviews).

Being a 4K Full Array LED with a respectably low input lag of 7ms, the X9000H will let you have the mind-blowing experience of playing video games at 4K / 120FPS. Better yet, it comes with two HDMI 2.1 ports, so if you're lucky enough to own a PlayStation 5 and an Xbox Series X you'll not need to hotswap them all the time.

Best PlayStation 5 soundbar: Sonos Beam

Pros

• Built-in Amazon Alexa for hands-free music, news checking, alarm setting, etc.
• Stylish, compact design.

Cons

• Device cannot be used without a network connection and a user account with Sonos.
• Could do with punchier, deeper bass.

If you're after an impressive sounding and smart soundbar, the Sonos Beam comes with a 4.6 /5 star rating (after 110 Amazon reviews). Not only is this unit small enough to comfortably attach itself to the majority of TVs, it's packed with neat innovations and delivers remarkable audio performance.

The Beam's innards consist of four full-range drivers, three passive radiators that enhance your bass, plus a centre tweeter. Something to note: while this is a three-channel system, a convincing surround sound effect can be achieved via Sonos's Trueplay software.

Best PlayStation 5 remote: PlayStation 5 Media Remote

Pros

• The no-fuss luxury of dedicated service functions.
• Great battery life compared to a DualSense.

Cons

• Design is a bit diminutive.
• TV functionality isn't universal.

Though it's very much an optional purchase, the PlayStation 5 Media Remote comes highly recommended with a 4.6 /5 star rating (after 112 Amazon reviews). It's worth getting purely for the fact that using a DualSense to navigate media isn't ideal (accidentally bumping a controller will cause rewinds and chapter skips aplenty).

Along with the expected playback and navigational buttons, you're getting dedicated launch buttons for Disney+, Netflix, Spotify and YouTube. Better yet, you can quickly adjust your TV volume and power settings with the built-in IR transmitter.

Best PlayStation 5 steering wheel: Logitech G29 Driving Force

Pros

• Exceptionally smooth, quiet steering action.
• Powerful dual-motor force feedback.

Cons

• Still quite expensive after all these years.
• Feedback feels rougher than more modern wheels.

Price (RRP): $499.95
Amazon Price: From $399.00

Though it's been out on the market since 2015, Logitech's G29 is still a best in class wheel that boasts a 4.9 /5 star Amazon rating. It supports PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PC and has been confirmed to be fully functional with PS5 as well.

Featuring quality construction, easy to access "face buttons" and dual-motor force feedback, the G29 is the best way to simulate driving. Especially when you're playing a game that supports this wheel's 900-degree lock-to-lock rotation and the added immersion of PSVR.

  The curator of this list is Adam Mathew, a 13-year veteran critic of video games. Adam has served in many roles over the course of his print-based and online career, most notably as the editor of Official PlayStation Magazine Australia. More importantly, at the time of the 9th console generation launch, he was one of the lucky few to have the full smorgasbord of Xbox and PlayStation hardware and launch titles at his fingertips. Most of this article is based on his first-hand experiences with the products.

  For this guide, he and our editorial team also compared gaming peripherals listed on Amazon Australia. We split these into categories based on their price, and also searched for third-party products built by highly reputable manufacturers with the highest ratings.

  The products that ended up making the cut were chosen based on their average customer rating and the number of reviews they had received (as of November 2020). We looked for products with a minimum of 30 customer reviews and that were available from multiple Australian retailers. Where two products had the same or a similar average rating, we chose the product with the larger number of reviews.

  Brands we considered when researching for this guide include:

  • Sony
  • Razer
  • Nyko
  • Logitech
  • Thrustmaster
  • Hori
  • Astro
  • Turtle Beach
