Find PlayStation 5 settings that make games easier to use

Look beyond the game menu

PS5 accessibility settings include system-level options such as display zoom, closed captions and controller-related adjustments. Sony's support guide explains where to find them and how to configure supported features. Menu names and availability can change with software updates, so use the current instructions for your console rather than relying on an old tutorial.

Check title-specific choices too

A game's own settings may offer additional subtitles, text size, color choices, difficulty adjustments or alternate input behavior. These are title-specific, not guaranteed by the console. Before purchasing, consult the game's official feature details or accessible-gaming information when available. If you share a console, check whether the setting applies to all users or only the profile you are using.

Test and adjust

Try settings in a low-pressure menu or early section, then adjust until text and controls feel workable. Some features interact with one another, and not all games support every system option. Keep a note of any changes that affect another household member's play. The official PlayStation page provides the authoritative setup steps for supported PS5 features and should be checked for current details.
