As unveiled in June, Sony also prepared a whole slate of PS5 accessories. If you’re looking for new headphones, Sony’s Pulse3D wireless headset will come priced at $99.99. Keep in mind that the company has been pushing 3D audio technologies in a big way, so the chances are that you’ll need this headset if you want to take advantage of PS5’s new tech.
Then, there’s the PlayStation 5’s remote, priced at $29.99. Also, let’s not forget the HD Camera, which features dual 1080p lenses – to be priced at $59.99. The HD Camera will allow gamers to broadcast themselves directly from the PS5. Naturally, this makes us wonder about Sony’s VR ambitions, where the HD Camera can play a major role. However, there are no VR plans for the PS5, as of right now.

Finally, we’d like to note that no matter which version of the PlayStation 5 you buy, you will get a single DualSense controller in the packaging. If you need another controller, or perhaps if you’d like to enhance your experience of using the PS5, this is where Sony’s PS5 accessories come into play. Overall, it looks like Sony has decided to go with aggressive pricing, this time around.
