The PlayStation Access Controller Is The Official Name For Project Leonardo

Sony Interactive Entertainment, we are committed to furthering that mission, so today we’re excited to share new details and images of the Access controller for the PS5 console. First revealed at CES this year as Project Leonardo, the Access Controller for PS5 is an all-new, highly-customizable accessibility controller kit designed to help many players with disabilities play games more easily, more comfortably, and for longer periods.

Developed in collaboration with accessibility experts, the Access controller will include a wide array of swappable button and stick caps so players can freely create different layouts that work for their unique strength, range of motion, and physical needs.

Each Access controller will include the following:

• Analog stick caps (standard, dome and ball stick cap).
• Button caps in different shapes and sizes, including:
  • Pillow button caps.
  • Flat button caps.
  • Wide flat button cap (which covers two button sockets).
  • Overhang button caps (which benefit players with smaller hands as they are positioned closer to the center).
  • Curve button caps (which can be pushed if placed along the top or pulled if placed along the bottom of the controller).
• Swappable button cap tags for players to easily mark which inputs they map to each button.

In addition, players can use the Access controller on flat surfaces, orient it 360 degrees, or easily secure the controller to an AMPS mount* or tripod. They can also adjust the distance of the analog stick from the controller. Through the Access controller’s four 3.5mm AUX ports, players can integrate their own specialty switches, buttons or analog sticks.

However, there is no release date yet.
