PowerA USB-C Cable For Playstation 5, Cable, USB-C, PS5

Product Information

The PS5 uses a standard C7 connector which is squared off on one side. It is possible to use a C7 connector that hasn’t been squared off but, to ensure good connectivity, it is best to use a cable designed for this purpose. It also features a protective fabric coating to provide the structural support needed to help the cable withstand extreme handling during gaming. The connector is also equipped with a special sheathing to offer flexibility while protecting it from damage. With proper care, you can be confident it'll serve you a pretty long time. For something with adjustable straps that's a little easier to transport, as well as more padded on the inside, the USA Gear PS5 Case is a fantastic alternative. It is nearly triple the cost of the Khanka travel case, though! UK

There are plenty of charging stations available for the PS5, and we'd suggest you avoid going for the cheapest one you can find online as they're the most susceptible to damage - whether that's dodgy parts or just general wear and tear.

For the time being, it's worth noting that SSDs can only be used to store games, rather than playing them directly from the drive. The PS5 does have internal space for SSDs in its expansion bay, but it's currently unusable until Sony updates the console and reveals which SSDs are supported.

However, despite the improvements in graphics and game loading time, the console still needs cables to provide it with power and connect it to your screen. While the power cable is most likely to be pinched or damaged, it is worth sparing a moment to consider the HDMI cable. This is also easily damaged and it is worth getting hold of a spare or a replacement one.
