Today, PlayStation has announced that accessibility tags are coming to the PlayStation Store on the PS5 console this week. Accessibility tags will be available for PS5 and PS4 games on PlayStation Store on PS5. If both versions are available, players can compare each version through a dropdown menu. Hideaki Nishino, Senior Vice President, Platform Experience, SIE, said “Accessibility Tags allow game developers to provide detailed insight on accessibility features supported in their games. As you browse various game hubs on PlayStation Store game hubs on PS5, you’ll see a list of accessibility features by pressing the “Triangle” button if the game you select supports Accessibility Tags. These can range from visual and audio accessibility settings to DualSense controller options, difficulty settings, and online communication features like chat transcription.”

Accessibility tags will let players see if the game they want to play features the accessibility options they are looking for. There are more than 50 accessibility tags for game developers to choose from, across 6 categories including:

• Visual accessibility features, such as clear text, large text, color alternatives, audio cues and directional audio indicators.
• Audio features, such as volume controls, mono audio, screen reader and visual cue alternatives.
• Subtitle and caption options, including subtitle size, clear captions, and large captions.
• Control options, including button remapping, thumbstick sensitivity, and ability to play without button holds, rapid button presses or motion control.
• Gameplay options, such as difficulty settings, skippable puzzles, simplified quick time events, and game speed.
• Online communication options, such as text or voice chat transcription and ping communication.

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 Returnal will support Accessibility Tags at launch. More games will implement this feature in their game hubs on PS5 in the coming weeks and months.

“Together with the wide array of accessibility settings within the PS5 console UI, Accessibility Tags will empower you to personalize your PS5 gaming experience to your individual gameplay needs. They’re the latest step in our journey to make gaming more accessible, alongside inclusively-designed games from PlayStation Studios and upcoming products like Project Leonardo, a new accessibility controller kit that was announced earlier this year.
