During the Sony CES 2023 press conference, Sony Interactive Entertainment chairman Jim Ryan announced Project Leonardo, a new accessibility controller kit for PlayStation 5. The kit features a circular base, and a set of interchangeable buttons and joysticks that can be fully customized to the player’s specific needs. It was developed “with key contributions from accessibility experts, community members, and game developers,” according to the official PlayStation Blog post.
The PS5 will allow those using Project Leonardo to fully customize controls across all software, including mapping multiple buttons to the same area. Multiple Leonardo controllers can be paired, as well as DualSense controllers, in order to be used as a single controller. There is no official release information including price or release date, only that the controller is still “currently in development.”
