The latest entry in the juggernaut Call of Duty franchise is a return to the world of Black Ops, and per series tradition, comes packing three distinct modes: Campaign, Multiplayer and Zombies. While the boots-on-the-ground gameplay isn't anything new for the series, it's as polished as ever, and there's a reason it remains the premier shooter on the market (even if the aggressive monetization and gimmicky skins are off-putting).

The PS5 Slim doesn't come with a vertical stand, so if you want to stand your console upright, you'll need this official accessory (or just keep it sitting horizontally). While some gamers have grumbled about a stand being an optional extra, at least the PS5 Slim Vertical Stand is on sale for Prime Day. It's now just $14 at Amazon, down from $18.

If you're spending hours gaming on the PS5 Pro, then you'll need to ensure your controllers are always charged and ready for action.

If you only have one controller to charge and want to do so in style, the Razer Quick Charging Stand could be a great fit for your PS5. What’s great about this charging stand is that it can top off your DualSense in under 3 hours. It also features overcharge protection to prevent overheating and short-circuiting. Another neat trick is that it’s designed in such a way that you can still navigate your PS5’s menus while your controller is charging.

Razer BlackShark V2 is an excellent headset with a comfortable design especially at its sub-$100 price, and now it's even lower.

The WD_Black SN850X SSD hits all of Sony's specifications and fits perfectly into the PS5's internal expansion slot, and it's even been named an officially licensed PS5 accessory. This 1TB model includes a heatsink and works right out of the box. It's dropped below $100 in the past, so this isn't the lowest ever price, but this Amazon deal is still a bargain price for an essential PS5 accessory.

Over in the U.S., Amazon isn't discounting the PlayStation Portal for Prime Day (yet, at least). However, you can still score one for a little bit cheaper if you're willing to go down the "used" route. Amazon claims its "used" Portals are in "Like New" condition, and you do get a warranty too.

The Sony Inzone H5 is one of the best headsets we've ever tested for the PS5 and gaming PCs. Lightweight and comfortable for long sessions, the H5 can last for up to 28 hours on a full charge. It also boasts 40mm drivers to provide detailed sound and supports 3D audio for immersive gaming.

You need a Pro controller for your Pro console. While the DualSense Edge is a fantastic choice, I suggest the PDP Victrix Pro BFG.

When it comes to third-party PS4 and PS5 controllers, it can rank high among the best.

The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 offers near-unparalleled connectivity options, alongside one of the greatest microphones you can get on a headset. With clarity and quality in sound thanks to 60mm drivers, this is a beast of a headset that will have you covered for casual gaming and the most intense competitive matches.

The Sony Inzone H9 are styled similarly to its namesake's home console, so it's a perfect choice if you're also a PS5 gamer. In our Sony Inzone H9 review, we found the Editor's Choice headphones were comfortable to wear, but we disliked their finicky companion desktop PC app.

The SN850P PS5 SSD is part of the reliable WD_Black range and is the perfect pick if you want to add significantly more storage to your console with a roomy 2TB capacity, enough to store dozens of games. This model comes with a pre-installed heatsink and can be slotted straight into your PS5 console out of the box.

When it comes to cheap sim wheels, there are many brands that do one specific thing well. But for a good balance of wheel aesthetics, performance, button placement and detail of force feedback, I loved the Logitech G29 for all of this when I first started.

This super advanced multi-platform headset also comes with a magnetic base station with HDMI 2.1, 24 bit passthrough audio. It also has a 24 hour battery life and a button on the side lets you switch between PS5, Xbox and PC with a tap. Available in black or white, the Logitech G Astro A50 is the ultimate upgrade for any gamer.
