Microsoft has announced some exciting accessibility updates for Xbox and PC gamers, including a preorder release for the ByoWave Proteus modular controller. This controller is designed for gamers with disabilities and offers over 100 million traditional and custom configuration options, making it more comfortable and easier to use than standard gaming devices. The price tag is a bit steep at $299, but the functionality and design make it a unique solution for those who struggle with regular controls. The controller consists of linkable blocks with customizable buttons, thumbsticks, triggers, and pads, as well as funky LED lighting. In addition to the new controller, Microsoft is updating its Xbox Adaptive Controller to support more accessories connected via the USB port. This update will be rolled out to Xbox Insiders over the next few weeks. Accessibility features in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 were also announced, including setting menu updates and a new preset designed to reduce the physical effort required to press multiple buttons at once. A new Game Accessibility Workshop Toolkit has been made available to developers looking to make games more inclusive. Overall, these updates are a step in the right direction for making gaming more accessible for all players. While the price of the new controller may be a barrier for some, it’s great to see innovative design and thoughtful features that can enable more players to enjoy games comfortably.
