You’ll be able to get your hands on the DualSense controller before your PlayStation 5 arrives, as it appears Sony is bumping up the release date of all its next-gen accessories in the UK. While the console is still not scheduled to launch until 19th November on these once sacred shores, the manufacturer’s roster of peripherals will arrive a week earlier, alongside the US release date on 12th November.
That means, if you’ve pre-ordered a PS5 pad, HD Camera, Media Remote, or 3D Wireless Pulse Headset – well, you’ll be able to look at them for a few days while you wait for your system to ship. That’s all according to retailer SimplyGames, although Amazon UK is currently still showing 19th November for these items.
Still, it’s already been more or less confirmed that games like Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Sackboy: A Big Adventure will be launching a week earlier in Britain as well, presumably to ease logistics. Have you pre-ordered any items that are now set to arrive early? Stare listlessly at the packaging in the comments section below.

The big question is: will the PS5 Controller come with a charging cable? So you can use it with the PS4. Or will I still have to wait for my PS5 to arrive before I can charge the thing.
Next up PS5 one week early in the UK 🤞
I can stare for a week at my über expensive copy of Demon's Souls.
Ah nice, so now people will get games and accessories early. Then when they realise they didn't get a preorder in time they will be stuck with some games and accessories they can't use.
Those lucky Britains
@Thesnipergecko that's what I fear with my AC: Valahala and Spider-man.
Then again was gonna get those game anyway
@Ryall No Dualshock 4 comes with a cable, same goes for most DualShocks 3. And DualSense compatiblity with PS4 isn't confirmed yet.
I really hope you also end up getting the PS5 on the 12th also! I don't get the extra week waiting time. Its not like they can make extra PS5's to ship in 7 days.
@JohnKarnes eh, I mean they'll be churning out as many units as they can constantly, but maybe if they hit their targets early they'll ship early? In all likelihood they could have a bigger gap but don't want to.
So I just got the 19th and the week after off work. If they bring the console forward a week that'll be a pleasant but annoying surprise. 😅
Everyones going to have a camera and controller and remote and no console as they are clean sold out. lol & meh
Managed to pre-order everything bar the dualsense charging station. I'll sit and look at these until the PS5 arrives.
@Thesnipergecko You get your 2nd controller and your HD camera, that you didn't realise is of no use as you aren't a streamer, on the 12th and then at the 11th hour your pre-order is delayed. That warehouse storage for that extra week for these items must come at a premium. Hopefully not many people in that boat but seems a bit ridiculous. Games I understand as in most instances you can play PS4 version for a week and carry on on PS5.
Is the same happening in other countries where console release is also 19th November?
@Ryall dualsence charges by usb-c
@Ryall if you own a USB type c cable then you are will away and you'll be able to charge it or if you know someone in the family with one at least.
I really hope my headphones get sent with the console. I'll be at work if it comes on the 12th.
Great.I suspected something like this migth happend so I have a Plan B for this as I already have a "PH5" so I'll manage to play the games and use the DualSense ! https://twitter.com/AngusLuissen/status/1310249266921844737
@Ryall I don’t think I’ve ever heard for a controller coming with a cable literally ever, they always come with the console. That being said if you already have a USBC cable like many already do you can charge it right away
So I understand logistically they want to spread shipments out but why can't they just deliver them to the stores and release on the same day as the console? I know if I lived in the UK I couldn't be bothered to pick up my extra controller for a console I don't own. I'd just leave it till release.
Just had a few emails off argos confirming my accessories have been moved forward too the 12th of November.
i hope the console gets moved to the 12th too!
I pre-ordered another DS5 pad + Remote Control + DS5 Dock(not on that list?) I will be able to caress them for a week before the PS5 comes out then
I had an Email from Game regarding the Pulse 3D headset? It would be delivered on the 12th November.......... Shame I had to cancle the pre-order due to an unexpected expense?
I have had no Emails regarding the games delivery dates? From Argos or The Game Collection?
When the PS4 was close to launch in 2013.......... I had the games 2-3 weeks before the console launched?
