We just got the ten year old boy a ps4 for Christmas. It only came with one controller and fortnite. What accesories or games should I get him? I ask this of my Chiefsplanet friends because I know nothing about video games.
Fortnite and/or the latest Call of Duty will probably keep any 10 year old boy occupied for a while. You'll need a PS Plus subscription in order for him to play CoD online with his friends, though, and that'll run you another $60 per year.
Other than that you probably couldn't go wrong with any Game of the Year edition in the bargain bin. Games like The Amazing Spider-Man and Horizon Zero Dawn should appeal to a 10 year old and can be had for $15 or less. [Reply]
1. A 2nd controller for when his friends/cousins come over or when he asks you to play with him. Real shit. And make sure it's an actual Sony OEM controller. Don't cheap out and buy a 3rd party, they're all fucking garbage. Better off wiping your ass with your $$$ than buying a 3rd party controller.
2. Don't forget your PS+ account. Buy your PS+ subscription either yearly or every 6 months or so ( i forget how they offer it). Paying for it monthly is considerably more expensive.
3. For games, you got Fortnite covered which is a must have. The little kids, in my experience, also really like Mine Craft and Little Big Planet.
4. A good mic. I mean, you don't have to right away. But @ 10, he's not far from wanting to play online with friends. [Reply]
Oh, and some fucking USB charging cables.....unless you want your 10 year old borrowing the one you use for your cell phone....pick a few up...as they surely get lost/broken. [Reply]

And make sure they are at least 6 feet long. 10 feet is better.
Detox is right. Minecraft and Little Big Planet are great for that age. Also MX vs. ATV. [Reply]

Or just buy one of the charging stands for like $10. I have one and it charges both of my controllers just fine. Haven’t had an issue with it since I bought it. [Reply]

That. I’ve bought hundreds of used games over the last 15 years or more and I’ve never had an issue with any of them. And I think you have like a 3day return policy in used games. So if you buy one and it sucks pipe, (looking at you UFC game with Ronda and Conner) just take it back for a full refund credit. [Reply]
