The PlayStation 5 Media Remote turns your console into a proper living-room media player. Instead of wrestling a game controller every time you want to pause a film, you get a slim remote with real playback keys, one-touch streaming shortcuts, and control over your television’s power and volume. For any household that streams on the console, the PlayStation 5 Media Remote is the accessory people wish they had bought first.

PlayStation 5 Media Remote: Why Not Just Use the Controller
Watching a film with a DualSense in your hands works, but it is not comfortable: the pad is bulky, the battery drains on standby, and pausing means finding the right button in the dark. The Media Remote is light, sits naturally in one hand, and puts every playback function exactly where your thumb expects it. For any PS5 used as the household streaming box, it transforms the experience.
Dedicated Playback Controls
The layout is built around media rather than gaming: play and pause, fast forward and rewind, skip, and a proper directional pad for navigating menus. There is no hunting through a controller layout designed for something else, which makes a real difference when several people in the room take turns with the remote.
One-Touch Streaming App Buttons
Dedicated buttons launch popular streaming services directly from standby, so getting from a dark room to a playing episode takes one press rather than a console boot, a home screen, and an app tile. Availability of specific services varies by region, but the shortcut buttons work with the major platforms available in the UAE.
Controls Your TV Too
The remote can control your television’s power and volume as well as the console, which means one device on the coffee table instead of two or three. Setup is handled in the PS5 settings menu and takes a couple of minutes. It runs on standard batteries rather than needing charging, so it is always ready.
Pair it with a spare DualSense wireless controller for gaming, or browse more in our Gaming Accessories collection.
Full official details are available on the official PlayStation Media Remote page.
Built for the Living Room
The remote is shaped to be used without looking at it. Buttons are grouped by function and separated by feel, so pausing in a dark room is muscle memory after a day or two rather than a hunt across an unfamiliar layout. It is also the accessory that makes a PS5 genuinely shareable: family members who have no interest in gaming can operate the console for films and series without ever touching a controller, which is often the difference between the console living under the television and living in a bedroom. Battery power rather than a rechargeable cell means it never needs docking and never dies at the worst moment.
