Do the XM5 headphones have gaming connectivity? null

I'm unsure if the microphone would work but you can use them with your console of choice by plugging them into the audio jack on your controller.

These do come with a 3.5mm cable to connect to a controller and you can connect the Bluetooth to a PC. The built in microphone for calls can be used to chat but I would recommend an actual gaming headset if that is your main use.

Hi Baydestrian84, thanks for your question. The WH1000XM5 has Bluetooth and auxiliary (3.5 mm) connectivity. The Sony WH-1000XM5 isn't ideal for gaming as it is designed for music playback and calls. The audio playback on the headset may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology. As a result, the sound may not be in sync with the image when viewing movies or playing games. We recommend our INZONE H9 (WHG900N) or INZONE H7 (WHG700) as gaming headsets instead. Please visit our Support site for more details. Hope this helps. Erin
