Filed under: Technology, News from Italy

(NewsNibs) - In a significant advancement for players with disabilities, Sony has introduced the PlayStation Access, a new PS5 controller designed to make gaming more comfortable and sustainable for everyone. Developed through a collaborative effort with organizations and experts in accessibility over the span of five years, the PlayStation Access offers extensive customization to meet the diverse needs of its users.

Crafted with adaptability at its core, this novel controller is accompanied by a kit that includes 19 interchangeable key caps and three joystick caps of various shapes and designs. Players are given the freedom to adjust these components based on individual strength, mobility, and physical requirements. The PlayStation Access also allows for an impressive level of modification through both hardware and software features.

Among the notable functionalities, players can adjust the joystick arm length and its orientation to a full 360 degrees. For enhanced adaptability, two PlayStation Access controllers can be used as a single virtual controller or combined with a DualSense or DualSense Edge controller to incorporate additional unique features, such as haptic feedback. The device also includes four standard 3.5mm expansion ports for connecting additional buttons and compatible accessories.

A remarkable aspect of this controller is its ability to store up to 30 custom control profiles, with space for three profiles to be quickly accessed on the controller itself through a dedicated button. Furthermore, the packaging of the PlayStation Access is inclusively designed, enabling users to open it with just one hand, as mentioned on the PlayStation blog.

The PlayStation Access retails at a price of 89.99 euros and is already available for purchase, marking a milestone for inclusive gaming. This initiative once again emphasizes Sony's commitment to creating gaming experiences that are accessible to all.
