If Santa brought you a PS5 today it's likely you've already started to scan the web for all the new games you can play and accessories you can grab. The Sony console has been out for a little over five years now, so there's a lot out there for the taking, which can be a little daunting if you're new to the world of the PS5.

To make things a bit easier, I've used my years as a hardware writer and sap who owned the PS5 close to launch to pick up the best PS5 games and goodies that should be up your priority list. The PS5 comes with a free-to-download copy of Astro's Playroom, but if you want the full TeamASOBI experience, picking up Astro Bot is a great call. Not to mention, Amazon now has an exclusive PS5 Mirror Edition for Game of the Year 2025 Winner Clair Obscur Expedition 33 if you prefer some turn-based RPG soul-destroying action instead.

I've also made sure to gather our team's go-to PS5 accessories that can elevate your new PS5 setup to new heights. Grabbing one of the best PS5 headsets will ensure your new games sound their best, and controllers like the Victrix Pro BFG can provide premium customizability that the default DualSense can't beat. No matter what you want for your Sony setup, there's sure to be something that will catch your eye down below.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
