We’re finally close to seeing the other side of what has been a particularly nasty boss of a year. Soon, it’ll be time to meet, eat, and sleep – and, if you can fit it into that packed schedule, give the gift of gaming. Team PLAY have packed the following pages with treats for all gamer tastes, so stick with us for gift ideas for the whole squad.
HAND-PICKED HARDWARE
Why wait? Level up your gear this Christmas for an advantage all year round
01 BACKBONE ONE PLAYSTATION EDITION £99.99
No Vita? No problem! This iPhone controller is our pick for portable play. Modelled after the DualSense and fully compatible with your existing PS library through the Remote Play app, this’ll entertain you while you wait for Christmas dinner.
02 EPOS H3PRO HYBRID £239
This flagship headset from EPOS (previously Sennheiser Communications) delivers top-of-the-line features, including a removable microphone, noise cancellation, and dual audio channels that let you listen to music while you play. We love the festive colours, but white and black versions are also available.
03 WD_BLACK SN850 NVME 1TB SSD FOR PS5 £179.99
Its small size doesn’t make for the most impressive looking present under the tree, but this officially licensed drive offers plenty of storage. A built-in heatsink makes setting up hassle-free, but cheaper options are available if you’re willing to fit your own (and forgo the LED lighting).
04 DAIJA ARCADE STICK FOR PLAYSTATION 5 €279.90
It’s not for everyone, but fighting fans will appreciate the features of this arcade-style
