Following PlayStation 4's impressive array of accessibility features, which allowed a diverse range of gamers to engage with and enjoy video games in new and different ways, Sony has now provided information on PlayStation 5's accessibility settings.

In an official post to the SIE.Blog, Sony revealed how PlayStation 5 will offer users voice dictation, allowing gamers to input text without the need for a virtual keyboard. Gamers can make use of voice dictation simply by speaking, with whatever the player says then appearing on-screen.

Another accessibility option is Screen Reader which will allow blind and low vision gamers the ability to hear the on-screen text, whereas deaf or hard of hearing players can simply input text messages that are then vocalized to their party members. These features now support several languages including English, Japanese, German, Italian, French, Canadian French, Spanish and Latin American Spanish.

Sony's upcoming console now also supports color correction, giving players the chance to adjust the video game's color to their specific requirements. Certain PlayStation 5 titles will accept game presets, allowing users to quickly customize and apply their common settings in advance of a gaming session. Alongside improved audio enhancements that will immerse PlayStation 5 users with "better spatial awareness," the new DualSense controllers can also be customized, allowing for less haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, assuming gamers don't disable the options entirely.

Video games such as Naughty Dog's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and The Last Of Us Part II are just two recent examples of PlayStation's continuing commitment to gaming inclusivity through better accessibility options. The PS5 will be available for purchase in the United States starting Nov. 12.
