RiotPWR Gaming Controller RP1950 Is Future Proof

In June of 2019, Sony hit a milestone: they sold over 100 million PS4 consoles. As you may have guessed, this device is extremely popular, and you might even have one yourself. Whether you’re just acquired one or have had yours for years, you could always use some tips on having a fantastic setup. We could all use some new items for our gaming setup, right? 

If you agree, then keep reading. For the best PS4 gaming setup, here are the 8 accessories you need. 

1. DualShock 4 Controllers

By far, this is the best controller you can get for the PS4. Yes, it’s true that most consoles come with controllers included, but they’re mediocre when compared to the DualShock 4. This PS4 controller is made by Sony, which means they’re not a knockoff at all. In fact, they’ve spent many years developing this product, which means they’re absolutely divine. The DualShock 4 controllers have an integrated light bar and a TouchPad too. Plus, they only cost around $40 a pop, so it won’t set your bank account back far at all. 

2. Charging System

If you get DualShock 4 controllers, one drawback is the 8-hour battery life on it. For most casual gamers, that’s enough, but if you’re a hardcore player, then you’ll find yourself with dead controllers a lot. In that case, you should consider investing in a charging system. Get yourself more than 1 controller so you always have one on backup whenever you’re in an active gaming session. That way, when your current controller runs out of batteries, you can swap it out to charge and play with the fully-charged controller. If you’re looking to save on power consumption of your game console, check out this guide by metatec.

3. External Hard Drive

PS4s come with quite a bit of storage space, but the truth is, no matter if you get one with 1TB or 2TB, you’ll run out of space at some point. Before that happens, you should get yourself an external hard drive so when you’ve reached your limit, all you have to do is plug the hard drive in and save everything on it. The best is to put some extra money into an external hard drive with maximum storage space. Not only that, but you should go with a reputable brand. You don’t want your save files getting corrupted or lost, after all. For this reason, we’d suggest getting at least 2TB and going with a reputable and reliable brand, such as Samsung. 

4. Surround Sound System

You should revel in your gaming experience, so why not get a surround sound system? This allows you to hear every detail in sound, including which direct a footstep came in. It’ll allow you to fully appreciate what your games have to offer. Not only that, but you can also use it for viewing movies and TV shows that are packed full of action. The surround sound system will let you get your heart pounding with all that’s happening in what you’re watching. 

5. Gaming Headset

Maybe you can’t use your surround sound system at all times. Or perhaps you’re a hardcore gamer who needs to hear all those little details right inside your ears. In that case, you’ll need to get yourself the right gaming headset. These are usually created to drown out outside sound and let you hone in on everything that’s happening in your game. For instance, in FPSes, it’s extremely vital that you can hear which direction footsteps are coming from, whether it’s left, right, down, or up. When you can here these minute details, it’ll allow you to get the drop on other players and give you the edge you need to get the W. Check out some on SCUF Gaming and similar sites to find the perfect pair for you!

6. Steering Wheel

Are you a fan of racing games? Then this is a PS4 accessory that you need to have. A PS4 steering wheel will give you a completely immersive experience, especially if you get pedals along with it. Not only will you get to feel like you’re behind the wheel of an actual race car, but it’ll also give you much better control. Plus, this will give your friends an amazing experience whenever they come over to play with you! 

7. Arcade Stick

Here’s another peripheral that you’ll appreciate, especially if you like retro games. For instance, if you enjoy Mortal Kombat, then it’s a completely different experience when you play with an arcade stick instead of a regular controller. Obviously, you shouldn’t stick to using the arcade stick for every game. But when you have a fighting game up, plug in those arcade sticks to get that true retro feeling! 

8. VR Headset

Virtual reality is the future of everything, including gaming. In recent years, we’ve already seen the release of a few VR games. While there can certainly be improvements, these titles are showing the potential of this niche. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a VR headset now to get the ultimate PS4 gaming experience. You’ll feel as if you were right there on the battlefield or whatever setting the video game has. It’s truly a unique experience that will surpass traditional gaming. 

Get the Best PS4 Gaming Setup With Our Advice 

Now you can get the best PS4 gaming setup by picking up an accessory or two from our list. Do keep in mind that the right accessories will vary from gamer to gamer. This is because you might have an interest in FPSes while your friend might favor racing games. In that case, the optimal peripherals will be very different between you two. So take a thorough look through our list and try some of these out. You never know; you just might be one purchase away from getting the best setup possible!
