Sony used part of its CES 2023 press event to reveal a new controller for its PlayStation 5 game console. The controller currently has the code name Project Leonardo, and it’s being designed specifically for players with disabilities. Sony has been collaborating with accessibility experts and groups that support players with disabilities, like AbleGamers, SpecialEffect, and Stack Up, to help create this console.

Many of these gamers have difficulties holding a normal game console controller for long periods, and others have limited motor control. Project Leonardo has been designed to be highly customizable to help players find the best configuration for their individual needs. The controller has a circular hub for the main buttons, all of which can be switched out for buttons of various sizes.
