how many controllers come with ps5
A standard PlayStation 5 (both disc and Digital Edition) comes with one DualSense wireless controller in the box.
Quick Scoop
- Retail PS5 and PS5 Slim consoles are packaged with a single DualSense controller as part of the base bundle.
- If you want local multiplayer right away, you need to buy at least one extra controller separately or look for a special two‑controller bundle.
- Some retailers occasionally sell promo bundles that include two controllers, but those are labeled and priced differently from the standard PS5 package.
What’s normally in the box
- PS5 console (disc or Digital Edition)
- One DualSense wireless controller
- HDMI cable, power cable, USB cable, base/stand, and documentation (contents may vary slightly by region or Slim vs original).
About special bundles
- Two‑controller bundles are limited offers created by Sony or retailers and are not the default configuration.
- Product listings will clearly state if “2 controllers” are included, so checking the “In the box” section before buying is important.
