PlayStation Store on PlayStation 5 is now more accessible than ever
PlayStation have released a console update for the PlayStation 5 that makes it easier to find games, based on the needs of the individual player, thanks to the new accessibility tags.
These tags will let players find titles that allow for them to ensure the game will be playable for them. In order to make it easier to find the features that each player may need, they have been broken down to six groups. Here are the six categories:
Visual accessibility features, such as clear text, large text, colour alternatives, audio cues and directional audio indicators.
Audio features, such as volume controls, mono audio, screen reader and visual cue alternatives.
Subtitle and caption options, including subtitle size, clear captions, and large captions.
Control options, including button remapping, thumbstick sensitivity, and ability to play without button holds, rapid button presses or motion control.
Gameplay options, such as difficulty settings, skippable puzzles, simplified quick time events, and game speed.
Online communication options, such as text or voice chat transcription and ping communication.
You can also get an idea of how it works in the video below.
While the update may not be something all players will make use of, but it is nice to see this addition for those players who may need additional assistance in order to enjoy the game.
