Xbox has revealed four new accessibility options for disabled players.
This includes three new accessible devices – the Xbox Adaptive Joystick, 8BitDo Lite 2.4G Wireless Controller, and the ByoWave Proteus Controller – which have been developed in consultation with the gaming and disability community, 3D printable files for more customisable thumbstick toppers, and new Xbox feature, Toggle Hold.
Xbox says players have said there’s a need for “an affordable, singular joystick” to use alongside the Xbox Adaptive Controller. Further to “years of research, testing, and collaboration,” the joystick includes four input buttons on the front, a standard Xbox thumbstick, and “two additional buttons that mimic the bumper and trigger placement on a traditional controller.”
