Sony continues to take care of gamers with disabilities. In addition to adding dozens of accessibility settings to their games, the Japanese are also working on a controller for the PS5 console for people with physical disabilities.

What is known

Sony shared information about the Access controller, which was previously known under the working name Project Leonardo.

The gadget is a gamepad in the form of a circle, which does not need to be held in your hands all the time. The buttons and sticks of the Access controller are arranged in any order, in accordance with the requests of the player. In addition, two different actions can be assigned to each button to minimize the burden on the player.

Two Access controllers can be connected at the same time, while the DualSense gamepad can also be activated, which provides the gamer with maximum convenience.

In the new video, the developers said that they sincerely want to make the gameplay easier for people with disabilities. To take into account all the nuances and wishes, Sony engineers are in constant contact with organizations and people who advise them on all necessary issues.

When to expect

Sony hasn’t revealed pricing or a release date yet for the Access controller, but it may hit the market later this year.
