Sony has consulted numerous accessibility experts and organizations like AbleGamers, SpecialEffect, and Stack Up, when configuring the controller\u2019s layout and customizable features. It\u2019s also expected to work in tandem with many third-party accessibility accessories on PS5. Fully customizable Players with limited motor control or those who struggle pressing small buttons, triggers, or positioning thumbs and fingers on a standard controller, have been kept at the forefront of Project Leonardo\u2019s design. The controller features many different layouts and options that can be tailored to a player\u2019s individual needs and comfort, especially when it comes to their strength, range of motion, and other physical needs. Not only can players engage in button mapping to create their perfect control template, but they can also save multiple layouts to their PSN profile, allowing them to ensure every game is optimized for their needs. The DualSense controller was the inspiration behind Project Leonardo\u2019s design, with the accessibility controller looking a lot like the PS5 controller in terms of the white-on-black aesthetic. This makes the new controller an unmistakable member of the PS5 accessory family. There\u2019s no release date for Project Leonardo at the moment, Sony is still perfecting the controller and gathering feedback from the community. We\u2019ll keep you updated when we know more.
