PlayStation Store adds accessibility tags to games on PS5
In This Article
Sony has announced that accessibility tags will begin appearing for games in the PlayStation Store onPS5consoles.
The idea here is that when you’re browsing the PlayStation Store, you can check up on the accessibility features of a particular game. These include a slew of different features, from offering an option for large text to screen reader support to being able to adjust subtitle size and remap buttons. It will also let you know whether or not puzzles are skippable and whether there’s ping communication support for multiplayer.
All of these different accessibility features PlayStation is splitting up into more than 50 different ‘accessibility tags’ divided into six core categories:
Accessibility tags are set to start rolling out this week. PlayStation promises that a number of games will be getting support for these tags when the feature launches, includingDays Gone,Death Stranding Director’s Cut,Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut,God of War,God of War Ragnarök,Gran Turismo 7,Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, Marvel’sSpider-Man: Miles Morales,Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, andReturnal. In time, of course, Sony plans for a wide range of different games to support these tags.
Even if you don’t suffer from a particular disability, these tags may prove useful to you. Maybe you only want to play games with an ‘Easy’ difficulty mode, maybe you need the ability to remap buttons in a particular game, or maybe there’s something else you care about. Either way, soon you’ll be able to get access to all that information at a glance with accessibility tags on PS5.
