Sony has finally announced the PlayStation Accessibility Controller, which aims to “remove the barriers to gaming” and hopefully help more gamers across the board. Although the tablet appears to be designed specifically for PS5, it may share similar compatibility features with Dualsense.
Dubbed Project Leonardo, the new PlayStation Universal Device is similar to Microsoft’s Xbox Adaptive Controller, but features a clamshell design to match the PlayStation 5. Different shapes and sizes, while 3.5mm AUX ports ensure the support for custom and made-to-order device attachments. .
In a statement, Leonardo project designer So Morimoto says the tablet “doesn’t have just one ‘correct’ form factor” and that the final design was vetted by a dozen accessibility experts. In theory, the tablet has what it takes to be one of the best options for a PC controller with the features available on the dock, as long as it’s not tied in any way to Sony’s ecosystem of consoles.
It’s important to make sure Project Leonardo works like Dualsense on PC, especially if the PlayStation platform goes beyond the console hardware. We can’t imagine why it wouldn’t work, so we hope the device helps efforts in the gaming space, not just PS5 availability.
The Leonardo project announcement did not mention a price or release date, but Sony says it will share more details in the future. A similar device from Microsoft costs $129, but we expect Sony’s tablet to come with a more affordable MSRP.
