Sony’s Access Controller features PS5 accessibility UI and others such as a virtual controller feature. The company offers up more additional details in regard to its upcoming PS5 accessibility controller, but however, there is still no release date or even pricing.
Sony’s Access Controller PS5 Accessibility UI
Sony’s Project Leonardo PS5 accessibility controller now has an official name finally and it is the: Access controller. The customizable controller as you should know is designed for players with disabilities and it includes swappable buttons and stick caps in a bid to adapt to many needs. The gaming company has also built an Access controller UI into the PS5 console that helps to offer control over button mapping as well as profiles and a special virtual controller option.
“On the PS5 console, players can select their preferred orientation for the Access controller, map different inputs to the various buttons, toggle buttons on or off, or even map two different inputs onto the same button,” Hideaki Nishino, senior VP of platform experience at Sony Interactive Entertainment explains.
How the Access Controller Works
This very type of customization includes profiles for different games as well as the ability to use up to two Access controllers and then a single DualSense controller together as a virtual controller. This very virtual controller helps to mix and match devices or even allows for a collaborative type of play with other people. Sony also has created a toggle mode which works somewhat like a keyboard’s caps lock key to toggle a button on or off without players ever needing to hold it down.
Pricing and Release Date
And while Sony has announced the Access controller name and some other additional details in regards to the new product which is part of Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we are however still waiting to hear information in regards to the pricing and the release date. “We’ll have more to share about the Access controller for PS5, including more product and release details, in the months ahead,” Nishino states.
