Accessibility options have finally been added to Deathloop on PS5 and PC, eight months after its release.
Over 30 improvements and options have been added in this latest update, including – at last! – the option to navigate menus using directional buttons instead of a cursor.
Also included are gameplay settings to customise combat difficulty and game speed, and new HUD and subtitle options, which can be found in a new accessibility category in the options menu.

“One of the things we didn’t expect when starting on accessibility features was how some of these options can be useful and fun for everyone,” said studio director Dinga Bakaba, stating the bleeding obvious.
“Accessibility in games is a complex subject,” said lead UI/UX designer Yoann Bazoge. “We estimate that over 400 million players need some additional assistance when playing. That’s a lot of people that can feel left out without some of these options. When we began discussing it with our teams, people were very motivated about the idea of developing all of this.
