This time, not only are we looking at Xbox Series accessories everyone can benefit from, but we’re also looking at some more niche peripherals for gamers who are looking for just a bit more out of their gaming experience.
Whether you’re looking for the best racing wheel when wanting to fire up Forza Horizon 5, to prepping yourself for ranked Street Fighter VI with our pick for best fighting stick, we’ve got you covered! Of course, we couldn’t forget about Flight and Space Sim fans with a new pick for overall best flight controller for games like Microsoft Flight Simulator or No Man’s Sky.
