Future PS5 owners were excited to hear that the accessories that come along with the console will be shipping early. Though the PS5 pre order situation was a bit of a mess, those that got through it and managed to secure a pre-order will have their accessories shipped on October 30th.
The PS5 releases on November 12th, so fans will still need to wait a week or two to make use of these accessories. It's still exciting though, as getting a DualSense in the mail will make the release of the PS5 seem that much more real. Up till now, it has felt very far out for many, so this is a nice change of pace.
This information was discovered by several players with pre-orders as they received notifications from Sony or from the retailer they ordered from. Given the numerous accounts that corroborate the early ship date, it's almost certain that this isn't a scam or any kind of false information.
Those that pre-ordered a PS5 will get a DualSense controller and USB along with it, but players that purchased accessories separately such as the headphones, camera, or charging station will also be getting those items a few days after October 30th. There are still some retailers, such as Amazon, that don't have the shipping date listed as October 30th, but this decision seemed to come directly from Sony this time. In light of the PS5 pre-orders launching early, fans don't mind when things come early, as long as they're announced.
There are two different groups of responses to this news. On the one hand, those with pre-orders are ecstatic. Even if they can't use most of the accessories until the console releases anyway, having these PS5 accessories before the console releases is a huge treat. On the other side, there are still many players upset that they weren't able to get a pre-order due to the PS5 pre-order debacle that left many devoted fans without a PS5. It's unclear whether or not there will be enough consoles at launch to satisfy the masses that weren't able to pre-order yet.
Along the same lines but in a strange twist, Burger King just revealed the PS5 retail box. It seems that everything is starting to come together finally for the PS5 despite fans waiting months for a reveal or price. The official release of the console is less than a month away, and the next generation of gaming will be here before fans know it.
