The PlayStation Store is implementing “Accessibility Tags” for specific PS5 games that accommodate various visual, audio, and other tweakable options.
Sony Pictures will be closed Monday Announcement the PlayStation Store’s new accessibility tagging system that’ll roll out later this week. Once implemented, you’ll be able to browse games on the storefront and see what accessibility settings are available before purchasing. There are around 50 tags. These are then broken down into six different categories.
- Visual – various text options and audio indicators
- Audio – extensive volume controls and visual alternatives
- Subtitles and captioning – font size, clear captions, and larger captions
- Control – button remapping, thumbstick sensitivity, and more
- Gameplay – You can adjust difficulty levels, skippable problems, simple quick-time events and game speeds.
- Online communication – text or voice chat transcription and ping communications
There’s a video showing the tags off, which you can check out below.
Sony claims there’ll be a gradual release for these tags, but games that’ll include the feature at launch include Days 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’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart?, and Returns.
New PlayStation first-party titles like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will likely support the tags feature as well – though that’s unconfirmed at this time.
