You really just need the right cord for 99% of devices using a power supply.
Hell, stuff I buy in the US these days often comes with a changeable plug right on the power supply itself, with both a US and EU adapter in the box.

The vast majority of the world uses compatible voltages, so just a basic adapter is all that you need. The only places using odd voltage requiring a transformer are Japan and Northern America.
However for things with a power brick like a ps5, you just need to buy the correct power brick.
You can get universal plug sockets that accept any plug, see them in the middle East a lot. Obviously they only work with 220-240 v

modern smpss can take anywhere from 100 to 250V input so you can use them with either and any voltage inbetween. older ones had a switch between 240v and 120v modes (rectifier vs voltage doubler)
