PS Store Adds PS5 Hardware Tab, But It’s Extremely Limited

Sony has added a Hardware tab to the PS Store on PS5, promoting consoles and accessories such as controllers, PS Portal, headsets, PSVR2 and console covers. The move gives shoppers a way to discover PlayStation hardware from their console, though the tab mainly directs them to buy online.

The pages are visual showcases rather than a built-in shop: users scan a QR code with a phone to open the relevant PlayStation Direct page in a browser. The tab also describes benefits of ordering through PlayStation Direct, and may help less informed players learn about available accessories; experienced fans can already visit the store directly.
