What else do I need to get the most out of my new console?
A new 4K smart TV is a good place to start, allowing you to truly appreciate the graphical capability of the PS5. Alternatively, a decent gaming monitor will also deliver on this front, with a reduced price tag.
Next up is audio – while Sony will be launching the PS5 with an all-new headset, a soundbar and surround sound system is also a good shout. It’s also a given that some more versatile gaming headsets are going to be useful – even if they don’t work with the PS5 (the jury is still out on accessory compatibility), the head is sure to work with TV and monitor audio-outs.
If you happen to have a cool £1,000 going spare, then the “PS5 Ready” Sony BRAVIA TVs manages to combine all of these features into one, wholly impressive package.
