Whether you’ve had the PlayStation 5 since day one or you just purchased it from ongoing PS5 deals, gamers should always be on the hunt for discounts on the console’s accessories, and nothing’s more important than the Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller. It’s currently on sale from Best Buy with a $20 discount that drops its price from $75 to a more affordable $55. We’re not sure how much time is remaining before this offer expires, but with the console’s popularity, we don’t think it will last long. Take advantage of this bargain now while you still can.

Why you should buy the Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller

There’s only one Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller in most bundles of the PlayStation 5. If your focus is on single-player titles, you’ll want an extra controller so you can swap it in when you have to charge the one that you’re using when its battery runs out. A second controller also lets you play against friends in fighting games such as Tekken 8, or with them in co-op adventures such as It Takes Two.

The Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller provides haptic feedback so that you can feel onscreen events, dynamic adaptive triggers that changes resistance depending on what’s happening in the game, and communication with your teammates in online multiplayer matches either through its built-in microphone or a headset that you connect to its 3.5mm jack. With the Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller, you’ll be able to maximize the experience when playing the best PS5 games.

There are various reasons why you’d want to buy the Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller, but whatever the case may be, you wouldn’t want to miss this chance to get it with a $20 discount from Best Buy. Instead of $75, you’ll only have to pay $55, but that’s only if you hurry because we expect the stocks that are up for sale to sell out fast. We highly recommend adding the Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller to your cart and checking out immediately, as its price may go back to normal at any moment. Afterwards, check out our list of PS5 game deals to add to your library.

Best PS5 deals: Console bundles, top games, and accessories

The PlayStation 5 has had a bit of a tumultuous journey, especially when it was first released, and there were quite a few stock issues. It also didn't have access to any compatible SSDs to expand internal storage, so you couldn't really expand the internal game storage; you just moved games across here and there. Thankfully, things have gone a long way since then, and if you're thinking of picking up the new PS5 Slim, now is a good time. While there aren't a lot of great deals on the consoles themselves, there are some good deals on games, including some of the best games on PS5 and PS5 games with the best graphics. We've also collected some of the best PS5 game deals, as well as some great accessories, including some great gaming headset deals.

The PlayStation 5 has recently seen a great revision with it now slightly slimmer than before and also offering more storage space with 1TB of internal space resulting in 842GB of it being usable. You still get the impressive DualSense controller along with all the benefits that the PS5 offers. With the arrival of the new revision, there are some great bundles around, including a free digital copy of Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

Best PS5 SSD deals: Add more storage to your PS5 from $125

At a little under a terabyte of space, the PlayStation 5 has quite a bit of storage, although a small chunk of that is used for the operating system. Combine that with modern games often being between 50-100GB, and the reality is that you're going to quickly run into the limit of what it can store. That's where expanding the internal storage with an SSD makes sense, and even if you aren't that tech-savvy, it's not too difficult. The only thing that's important to know is that you need to have SSDs with the latest PCIe Gen 4x4 tech since that is what the PS5 uses to work games at the speeds it can. Luckily, we've done a lot of the footwork and collected some of our favorite deals for you below, including some of the best SSDs for the PS5.

That said, if you haven't picked up a PS5 yet, be sure to check out these excellent PS5 deals, and if you already own one, maybe check out these PS5 game deals to expand your library.
