Sony's PS4 console is set to get a range of new accessibility options in upcoming firmware patch 2.50.
That's according to IGN Middle East, which reports a new accessibility menu is currently in beta with a view to imminent release. Leaked by Twitter user @isaparrot, the additional options mean gamers with disabilities will be able to enjoy titles much more easily than they currently do.
As can be seen from the image below, there's a vast array of accessibility options for a number of disabilities including visual impairment, hearing impairment, and physical impairment. The list of accessibility features include, at the time of this writing, Text to Speech, Zoom, Invert Colours, Larger Text, Bold Text, High Contrast, Closed Captions, Button Assignment, and Add to Quick Menu.
While we've yet to see any of these in action, the Twitter user has explained ""the add to quick menu adds a link to the accessibility menu on the quick menu page (the hold PS button page)". Some of the other additions are pretty self-explanatory.
We don't know when PS4 update 2.50 will arrive, though app-suspension has been teased for the patch also. It's also worth noting we've seen images of custom button-mapping appear too.
