Whether you’re grinding through the toughest ranked matches, exploring expansive open worlds, or streaming to your growing fanbase, upgrading your gaming setup can mean sharper visuals, deeper sound, and gear that keeps up with your every move. Let’s take a look at some of the tech you need in your life this year.
Essential Upgrades For Every Gamer In 2025
When it comes to gaming, the right accessories can be transformative. Whether you’re looking to boost your performance, create an even more immersive experience, or make your setup as comfortable as possible, we’re already seeing tons of innovations and releases set for 2025 – particularly in the following five categories:
Audio
Nothing beats crystal clear sound. From AI-enhanced headsets to spatial surround sound systems, better audio means better in-game awareness, better performance, and more enjoyment from the game.
Visuals
Products like high refresh-rate gaming monitors and VR or AR headsets all work to bring stunning visuals and faster reaction times – truly immersing you in your favorite fantasy worlds.
Peripherals
Performance needs precision, and that’s where top-notch peripherals come into play. Wireless, low-latency gaming mice, modular controllers and mechanical keyboards can all make a difference when it comes to having a competitive edge.
Ergonomics
Long gaming sessions make posture-supporting chairs, adjustable smart desks, temperature-controlled gear, and other kinds of ergonomic products a must-have.
Ambiance
Don’t forget your setup is about more than just a fancy monitor. The perfect gaming arena isn’t complete without smart RGB lighting, customizable LED strips, and plenty of gaming posters to add personality to your space.
So, let’s look at some of the hottest tech from each of these categories:
Peripherals Gaming Accessories
For 2025, gaming peripherals are taking performance and customization to the next level. Wireless gaming mice like the flagship Razer Viper V3 Pro, or the more affordable Razer DeathAdder V3 Hyperspeed, are designed for ultra-low-latency precision, with features such as customizable sensitivity, boosted sensors, and long battery life – up to 95 hours in the case of the Viper V3 Pro.
Optical-mechanical keyboards like the Corsair K100 RGB and Keychron K2 HE provide gamers with speed and durability in one stylish package. Boasting hot-swappable switches, customizable actuation points, and durable build quality, they can withstand even the most hardcore battles – catering to both minimalist setups and competitive play.
Meanwhile, pro controllers are pushing the boundaries of adaptability. The Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro boasts swappable modules designed to adapt to any style of play, with analog sticks and customizable profiles, ensuring maximum comfort and control. Controllers like the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro and Turtle Beach Stealth Pivot feature adaptive feedback and ergonomic designs, anti-drift thumbsticks and immersive haptic responses, while multiple configuration options ensure multi-genre dominance.
Immersive Audio Gaming Accessories
Audio products for gaming and streaming are designed to elevate your sound experience year on year – and 2025 looks set to be no different.
Wireless gaming headsets like the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless and HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless combine noise-canceling features, ultra-low-latency Bluetooth, and AI-enhanced sound processing to deliver precise, powerful audio. The Cloud Alpha headphones also boast a frankly insane 300 hour battery life, meaning you’ll never have to worry about losing power in the middle of an intense session ever again. With features like bi-directional mics and 2.4 GHz wireless connection coming as fairly standard among the top-line products, you know you’re in safe hands.
For a more immersive experience, 3D surround sound solutions such as the Razer Leviathan V2 Pro and Yamaha SR-C20A soundbar deliver spatial audio that adapts to your environment. The Razer is the “world’s first PC soundbar with head-tracking AI and adaptive beamforming”, all powered by THX® Spatial Audio. It works to direct sound directly to your ears by tracking where you are in the room, creating an ultra-personalized, accurate, immersive audio experience.
Gaming Accessories for Visual Enhancements
Let’s take it back to basics. Top-tier gaming requires top-tier visuals, and the tech in 2025 is going to make that a breeze. Take the ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQDP, which features a stunning 27-inch OLED panel with an incredible 480Hz refresh rate and exceptional motion clarity, making it one of the best pc game accessories to create total immersion. Meanwhile, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 G95NC Dual UHD is taking ultra-wide monitors to their extreme, with a 57-inch ultra-curved panel – effectively two 240Hz 4K monitors fused together.
In the world of AR and VR, headsets like the Meta Quest 3S and the long-awaited, upcoming Samsung XR Headset are pushing the boundaries of immersive gaming. Samsung’s XR headset, launching in 2025, promises an advanced mixed reality experience with rumours of ultra-premium specs, integrating seamlessly with Google’s Android XR platform – thanks in part to being built as a Google collab. One thing’s for sure, the advances in this realm are set to take immersive gaming to whole new heights.
Ergonomic Gaming Accessories
Even the more practical side of a gaming setup, like chairs and desks, are becoming smarter and more ergonomic. Take the Beflo Tenon Smart Adjustable Desk, which offers a modular design, built-in wireless charging, and a touchscreen for added convenience.
Meanwhile, gaming chair concepts like the Razer Project Arielle take comfort to the next level, with AI-powered temperature control systems for cooling and heating – featuring energy-efficient PTC heaters that deliver up to 30°C of warm air. Evolved from the Razer Fujin line of mesh chairs, they’ll make it easier than ever to stay glued to your monitor.
Ambiance & Aesthetic Gaming Accessories
If you thought you knew all there was to know about lighting setups, think again. RGB smart lighting is transforming the gaming experience, with advanced sync technology and even better features. The Govee AI Sync Box Kit 2 offers ultra-responsive, low-latency synchronization of LED strips and light bars with your on-screen action, with vibrant 4-in-1 RGBWIC lighting, HDMI 2.1 support, and reduced lag thanks to VRR and ALLM support – making your gaming environment feel even more immersive.
Similarly, the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K enhances your setup by mirroring your screen’s colors and effects, supporting HDMI 2.1 and 8K resolution for an engaging, next-level experience. Plus, there’s no need for cameras or wires hanging around your screen, which is always a win.
For other ways to personalize your gaming space, Displate metal posters provide an easy way to add character, with high-quality, easily swappable prints. Our collection features fresh designs inspired by all of the biggest gaming franchises, allowing gamers to showcase their passion in style.
