MAIN QUEST: Sony’s Investment in Accessible Gaming

Accessibility in gaming is becoming an increasingly hot topic and a highly regarded category when it comes to critic reviews. This week, we got a detailed look at Sony’s accessibility-centered controller which will be shipping this December.
The development of the Access Controller began in 2018, with the intention to construct an adaptive and accessible controller that ensures the PlayStation 5 console is more inclusive. Consultation with AbleGamers and meticulous study of various data resulted in a controller that adheres to three core principles: usability without needing to pick it up, physically swappable buttons, and high customizability.
Step back: accessibility in gaming makes so much sense — where one may experience limitations in the physical world, the digital one theoretically should know no bounds. The Access is a major step forward for the industry and perhaps being a ‘first’, it will merely open the door for others to follow and explore more freely.
