Sony has finally released a console for gamers with limited mobility. It’s called Project Leonardo and it will be available for PS5.
The shape is circular with oversized buttons and follows the all-white color scheme of the PS5. It’s almost reminiscent of Microsoft’s Xbox Adaptive Controller, another controller designed with limited-time gamers in mind.
In its CES 2023 keynote, Sony said it has worked with a number of key companies such as AbleGamers, SpecialEffect, and Stack Up to help design the console to meet the diverse needs of users.
Unfortunately, Sony hasn’t provided an exact release date or price for Project Leonardo, but its announcement is definitely one of the highlights Sony put out tonight (January 4).
Creative customization to meet diverse needs
according to Sony blog post (Opens in a new tab) With more information, Project Leonardo is “a board for players to design their own gaming experience. It includes a robust set of interchangeable components, including a variety of analog stick caps and buttons of different shapes and sizes.”
According to the post, the controller’s buttons can be programmed to any supported function, and if necessary, multiple buttons can be assigned to the same function. Conversely, players can assign two functions (such as “R2” + “L2”) to the same button.
If you’re a gamer who can use one hand but not the other, Project Leonardo can be paired with a DualShock 5 controller or it can be paired with many other input devices through its four 3.5mm jacks.
Sony says Project Leonardo is still in development, but says it’s listening closely to feedback from the community.
