Essential console accessories for PS5, Switch and Xbox: 2026 Hong Kong guide

The console is only the beginning — the right accessories can meaningfully upgrade how you play. With Hong Kong's accessory market full of options of varying quality, this guide covers the genuinely worthwhile buys for each platform in 2026.

For PS5, the two best investments are a second DualSense controller — essential for local multiplayer — and an SSD upgrade. Modern releases routinely exceed 100 GB, so internal storage fills quickly. Look for a PCIe 4.0 drive with a heatsink; installation is straightforward and the difference is immediate.

Switch players should start with a high-capacity microSD card and a screen protector, plus a hard carrying case if you play on the move. Households that host multiplayer should add an extra pair of Joy-Con or a Pro Controller. On Xbox, the all-digital Series S makes storage expansion especially important — the official expansion cards are plug-and-play — and a second controller is an early buy worth making.

Whichever platform you own, stick to genuine or well-known brands for accessories. Cheap, unbranded controllers and memory cards fail far more often, and a corrupted save file costs more than the saving. Sky City Y2K supplies memory cards, controllers and accessories alongside consoles, with transparent pricing for retail and bulk orders.
