Sony is looking to make things easier for gamers who require accessibility features with a new feature on the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 5.

Sony Interactive Entertainment announced the launch of Accessibility Tags in supported games on the PlayStation Blog. When browsing Sony’s digital store on your console, you can use the triangle button to bring up such games. These accessibility tags allow developers to provide detailed information about the accessibility features supported in their games.

The post says, “Accessibility Tags will be available for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 games on PlayStation Store on PlayStation 5. If both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 platform versions are available, you can compare Accessibility Tags through a dropdown menu. With Accessibility Tags, you can easily see if the game you want to play features the accessibility options you want. Here’s a sampling of the more than 50 Accessibility Tags available for game developers to choose from across six categories:

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

Accessibility Tags on PlayStation Store for PlayStation 5 will gradually release for players this week. At launch, a variety of games such as Days Gone, Death Stranding Director’s Cut, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, God of War, God of War Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and Returnal will support Accessibility Tags. We are just starting to roll out this feature and are collaborating with many developers to implement it in their game hubs on PlayStation 5 in the coming weeks and months.”

It could have been introduced sooner. It will launch in a couple of days.
