Best Xbox Series X/S accessories 2021: Get gear for your next-gen console

 


(Pocket-lint) - The Xbox Series X is finally out, along with the Xbox Series S, its smaller twin, which means the gaming of the next generation is finally upon us, at last.

They will unlock tonnes of potential for videogames over the years to come, whether it's faster frame rates, more lifelike graphics, or higher resolutions, so if you're picking one up soon, you may be looking for some nice accessories to enhance your experience. Right here, we've picked some of the very best for you.

Our pick of the best Xbox Series X and S accessories to buy today

Venom Twin Charging Dock


Despite the improvements that Xbox has made, something that fails to rank is that its controllers still ship as the default power supply with AA batteries - meaning you have to switch them out when they're exhausted.

With this twin pack of rechargeable packs, and a dual charging dock, that can all change, which means you can always have a controller on hand ready for use.

Steelseries Arctis 9X


It's all well and good to get a next-gen console, but if the sound of your games is coming from tinny TV speakers, it won't feel all that premium.

Having a top-quality headset will make a significant difference to your immersion in story-driven games, as well as offering you a major competitive advantage in multiplayer titles, so you should definitely consider it. In our view, this pair from SteelSeries is the best you can get for a new Xbox.

Xbox Wireless Controller


Of course, you get a controller packed in when you purchase a new console, like a Series X or S, but that's no support for those involved in a couch co-op.

Having another controller is a must, and for most people's needs, the newest Xbox controller is an excellent candidate. It has a new D-pad interface and more texture, plus a convenient sharing feature, but is unchanged in most other ways. However, that's okay! This is one of the greatest prototypes ever for pads.

Seagate 1TB Storage Expansion Card


This is something that almost every gamer can see value in, even if it is currently phenomenally costly - more room! This is the only game in town if you want to get more internal storage on your new Xbox Series X or S.

It literally slots into the back of the console, allowing you more room for games, but at a hefty price that most people are likely to be baulking at.

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2


There's just one option if you're looking for something more advanced - the Elite Series 2 - when it comes to controllers for your Xbox Series X or S.

This allows you to customize your experience and add additional buttons for greater control, and if you get serious in a multiplayer game, it's fine. Even if it costs twice the price of a standard controller, it's a game-changing piece of equipment.

  (Pocket-lint) - Just because you want a cheap phone doesn't mean you have to compromise entirely on the features that are available. There are plenty of budget phones below £/€/$200 - often so nice that it seems odd that a flagship phone costs at least four times as much. Budget phones may not have the sharpest screens or the most pristine designs, but while saving your wallet at the same time, an inexpensive smartphone can still look fine, deliver decent specifications, a good battery life, and solid performance.
