Yes, Christmas is almost upon us and that means it’s time to get those lists written up and the hottest new gaming gadgets and devices on them. It’s once again been a stellar year for releases and there’s plenty out there to look forward to unwrapping.
Whether you’re an avid fantasy player, a shoot’em up survivor or prefer the one armed bandit to those of the wild west with slot games like Xtreme Hot, there’s always something out there to add to your list and enhance your gaming experience.
So, if you’re looking to improve your gaming set-up come December 25, here are five great pieces of gaming tech to get your hands on…
PlayStation 5 Pro
Naturally, we’ll start with the PS5, a console that has been in existence for a number of years, but the Pro iteration is really taking gaming to the next level.
It supports 8K resolution and continues to be the best console on the market. Its graphics are beyond belief, while the exclusive titles available really make the PlayStation appealing. Of course, they don’t come cheap at around the £400 mark, so you’ll have to make sure you’re on Santa’s nice list!
Logitech G Pro X Wireless Gaming Headset
For those who like to communicate during their gaming, the Logitech G Pro X is a supreme bit of kit that provides incredible audio quality as well as superior comfort. There’s a detachable microphone, alongside Blue Voice technology, which essentially provides studio-like quality to your mike.
It’s a must-have for any serious gamer, particularly if you do like to play online with others.
Razer Huntsman V2 Elite Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
But what’s the point in having great sound, if you can’t play effectively? The Huntsman V2 from Razer is a hugely impressive piece of kit that provides keystrokes at the speed of light and just ultimate responsiveness across the whole keyboard.
What’s more, it combines great comfort alongside it, with a magnetic wrist rest and customisable options making it ideal for longer gaming sessions, whether it be an all-action game or the likes of poker or roulette.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series Graphics Card
For PC gamers, it’s all about building the best possible machine, and you’ll certainly get that with the GeForce RTX 40 from NVIDIA. The brand has always pushed the boundaries when it comes to gaming, and that’s certainly the case with this graphics card.
It can handle the most demanding of games, making for incredibly smooth gameplay and supplying breathtaking graphics that really enhance the entire experience.
Nintendo Switch
Finally, we’re finishing with another console and the Nintendo Switch. It offers a larger OLED screen and is easily the best mobile console out there right now. In the dock, it’s just as good and there are some brilliant titles to play, including all the Nintendo exclusives like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Super Mario Odyssey.
They come in at around £260, although it may be worth holding out on this with a new version of it expected to be released in Spring of next year.
