Access controller for PS5 launches globally on December 6
PlayStation Australia is happy to announce that the highly customisable accessibility controller kit will be available to preorder locally on 21 July.
For the past five years, PlayStation has been on a journey with accessibility organisations and experts to create a versatile controller kit that enables gamers with disabilities to play more comfortably and for longer periods, empowering more players to share in the joy of gaming.
Available for an RRP of $139.95 AUD per unit, the Access controller lets you customise your layout with different button and stick caps in various shapes and designs, operate the controller from any 360° orientation, and connect third-party accessibility accessories using its four industry-standard 3.5mm expansion ports.
On your PS5 console, there are many settings for the Access controller that you can configure to meet your needs. You can map buttons to create up to 30 control profiles, adjust stick settings, toggle commands on/off, or disable buttons altogether to stop accidental pressing. You can even pair up to two Access controllers and one DualSense wireless controller together and use them collaboratively.
Check out the video here for a sneak peek at the countless ways you can craft your own gaming experience through the Access controller.
