Good news PS5: this official accessory transforms the console for 14€
The PS5 is more than a game console: it’s also a multimedia platform that can potentially replace your TV box. The proof, Sony has created an official remote control that allows you to use the PlayStation 5 not to play, but only to watch / listen to content. Netflix, TV, YouTube, Spotify… you will see, 14€ can change your daily life.
The PS5 is a magic console. Sony’s best seller is a great game console full of excellent exclusives like the brand new Horizon Forbidden West, everyone knows that. But did you know that by buying a small official remote control (therefore produced by Sony), the PS5 even allows you to transform your TV into a connected TV?
This PS5 remote has an RRP of €29.99. But at the moment it is in very strong reduction. On Amazon for example, we find it at only 17€. Cdiscount does even better by dividing by more than 2 the recommended retail price : 14€. Frankly, at this price, it’s worth a try.

You may be familiar with Amazon’s Fire TV Stick for example. This PS5 remote does much the same thing. And you’ll see, it really makes life easier. Without going through the DualSense, you can turn on the console remotely and browse through all the menus. As you can see, the remote control even has a few shortcuts.
By pressing the Netflix button, the console turns on by itself. If your TV is modern, it will light up with it. In one button, you will therefore be directly on the most popular streaming platform in the world. Yes yes, even when the console is off, so you can easily start a series or music on Spotify.
To go with the 4 shortcuts present on the remote control (Spotify, YouTube, Disney+ and Netflix), there are obviously other buttons. Fast forward, rewind, play/pause, volume adjustment… all the essentials of a modern zapette.
For a long time, this official accessory was completely ignored by players. Now that more PS5s are in circulation and a huge promo has arrived, it might be high time to reconsider that fact. Using only your PS5 as a general hub to consume all your audiovisual content is a real daily comfort. And this comfort becomes more accessible than ever.
