Sony has released a new PlayStation 5 controller designed specifically for disabled gamers, partnering with accessibility experts to create the Access Controller. This customizable kit includes various buttons, triggers, and sticks, allowing players to create a setup that caters to their needs. Sony aims to address the unique impairments of each disabled person through customization, working with accessibility experts, AbleGamers, to find solutions. While the Access Controller is a positive step forward for disabled gamers, there are design decisions that could be improved, such as the absence of a standard right stick. Overall, the controller’s existence highlights the growing mainstream concern for gaming accessibility.
